“Economic conditions have made it more important than ever that HCPS be very selective and thorough when choosing project partners. CIBER was able to tailor an upgrade solution to our unique needs. Their proven methodology, strong project management, and flexibility ensured this project was completed on-time and within budget. The result is more efficient business processes, eliminating unnecessary costs and effort.”

Dr. Joseph Cochran — Manager, IT and Process Improvement, Hillsborough County Public Schools

“CIBER provided us with the technical expertise, and methodology to complete a full ERP implementation in an eight-month timeframe. We are very pleased to be operating on Lawson QuickStep as it has eliminated our unsupported legacy systems, and created the environment to support a much leaner manufacturing process. We will have more complete visibility of products from planning to procurement, and a solid platform to support future growth opportunities.”

Steve Nett — Chief Financial Officer, J.R. Watkins Naturals

“We are thrilled to begin this project. The Lawson system will help greatly improve our business processes and generate a substantial return on investment. CIBER has clearly demonstrated their ERP public sector expertise, and we’re confident in their ability to execute.”

Andrea Casselton — CIO, City of Saint Paul, MN

“We require a solution that will provide a solid foundation for our strategic Human Resources goals and enhance our ability to provide outstanding client service by making our systems and processes more efficient. We want to leverage our technology upgrade to not only comply with the software requirements, but also to improve business processes and integrate disparate systems. We chose CIBER because they clearly demonstrated expertise in the complex components of this project.”

Shayne Spalten — Chief Human Resources Officer, Denver Public Schools

“CIBER’s proposal was so comprehensive, yet at the same time it offered value-priced services and infrastructure that fit our budget. It was a tall order that they filled easily. Most importantly, their design saved us a great deal of money that would otherwise have been allocated to annual ERP system licensing fees.”

Bill Foley — Director of Materials Management, Northeast Georgia Health Systems

“CIBER was excellent to work with. They listened to our challenges, found creative solutions, and worked hard to accommodate our time constraints. The information they provided us on the licensing saved us a great deal of money. Working with CIBER helped us improve our costs while also improving patient care – this is a win/win situation for NGHS and our patients.”

Blanche Ettinger — Project Manager, IT, Northeast Georgia Health Systems

“CIBER sized our System i to perfection, but they do more than sizing systems. They are a full service firm and they are always there, completely professional and willing to answer any question I have. They are the go-to people I go to.”

Susan Lattanzi — Information Technology Director, Experience Works, Inc.

“We needed a centralized, automated system in which information could be easily accessed and shared. We believed that Lawson provided the best functionality for our long-term needs along with tools and best practices that could help us drive business process improvements.”

Pat Pate — Assistant City Manager and Executive Committee Chairman , City of High Point, N.C.

“What impressed us about CIBER and the reason we chose them was because of their Lawson technical experience with the System i platform, their power industry experience, and previous positive working relationships with CIBER. In addition to CIBER’s technology services, they offered change management, knowledge transfer and business consulting services which helped guide us through critical milestones of the project. These offerings were integral to the success of our Lawson upgrade project.”

Perry Krush — Vice President and Controller for BHC, Black Hills Corporation

“The migration of our business system provides greater functionality so we can increase efficiency, reduce costs, and give patients greater care. Although the software is important, the migration would not have been successful without CIBER’s change management expertise, vision, project oversight, and partnership. Over the length of the project, CIBER and our staff truly worked as partners and established the foundation for process improvements that will deliver value for the next several years.”

Isadore Rivas — Vice President of Finance, Clarian Health Partners

Lawson Mobility Solutions

To make key business decisions, every business depends on timely and accurate data. Even the best Lawson system cannot compensate for data that is inaccurate, incomplete, outdated or missing altogether.

Frequently, vital data entry errors occur in areas such as warehousing and distribution operations that still use error prone, manual processes to access and manipulate data.

To gain a competitive edge, more and more businesses are using mobile information technologies to take their critical transactions beyond the desktop. Such systems are comprised of wireless networks, mobile computing devices, barcode technologies and enabling software outside and within Lawson that promote application mobility and allow companies to utilize Lawson beyond the desktop.

The CIBER Mobility Advantage

CIBER understands that organizations using Lawson are continually looking for new ways to increase productivity, improve accuracy of their data and leverage their significant investments in Lawson. Mobility applications are a logical extension of critical information flows and can make Lawson's impressive functionality even more useful.

The key to driving value from these applications is to ensure that your organization implements the right solutions and integrates them to Lawson appropriately. This is CIBER's specialty--we are an end-to-end solution provider for your Lawson mobility needs.

Agentry is Syclo’s framework for developing, integrating, deploying and managing custom mobile applications across the enterprise.

CIBER can assist with procurement, implementation and integration of mobile solutions with Lawson's supply chain functionality to facilitate the real-time flow of data from its source on the floor or in the field into Lawson, eliminating delays and manual entry.

The result? Improved productivity and lower costs – plus other important corollary benefits, such as improved customer satisfaction and brand reputation.

Mobile Par and Cycle Counting: The Par and Cycle Counting application integrates web browser terminals and/or workstations with wireless handheld devices to monitor inventories. Par and Cycle Counting streamlines and simplifies the process of maintaining par areas and performing cycle counts. This enables management to reduce supply chain costs, and improve service to individual departments.
