“One of the long-term benefits of partnering with CIBER is the security of knowing the consultants focus on more than the implementation of the moment. They also look toward post-implementation with an eye to ensuring the local functional and technical staff is fully prepared to manage the project on their own. We’ve had excellent help and excellent results.”

Richard Huckaba — Associate Provost and Project Manager, University of Texas at Dallas

“UHS has all the complexities of a major university system and a large research institution. As we have endeavored to improve our processes and become more efficient through the deployment of PeopleSoft, CIBER has been there to help us. Our partnership with CIBER has provided UHS with the means to better service our students, faculty, staff, and administration.”

Craig Ness — Executive Director for Academic Budgets and Administration, University of Houston System

“With the upgrade to our Oracle PeopleSoft applications we are now running an up-to-date system that provides increased functionality. Our technical systems are even more efficient than before and we are very excited to be running all of our Oracle applications in the 9.0 versions. We are extremely satisfied with CIBER’s implementation and plan to work with CIBER on future upgrades.”

Mario Valente — Dean of Academic Information Services, MiraCosta College

“One of the long-term benefits of partnering with CIBER is the security of knowing the consultants focus on more than the implementation of the moment. They also look toward post-implementation with an eye to ensuring that local functional and technical staff is fully prepared to manage the project on their own. We’ve had excellent help and excellent results.”

Richard Huckaba — Associate Provost and Project Manager, UT Dallas

Ed Meachen — Associate Vice President, Learning & Information Technology, University of Wisconsin

“CIBER is a leader in implementing student administration systems. CIBER has led the successful implementation of our PeopleSoft Enterprise Contributor Relations System, which has served us well, and the full-fledged PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions system. CIBER is skilled at implementing robust solutions and scaling them to fit the unique needs of our smaller, specialized Bible college. They have truly been a collaborative partner on our implementation of PeopleSoft systems.”

Frank Leber — Vice President of Information Systems, Moody Bible Institute

“CIBER was instrumental in ensuring an efficient go live. We were able to reduce our go-live activities, including patching, from 6 days down to 48 continuous hours. Our multiple ‘test moves to production’ allowed us to evaluate each step and to streamline our processes.”

Lee Krichmar — Director of Information Technology, Cerritos College

“We chose CIBER over five other vendors because of CIBER’s reputation, experience in the higher education community, and hands-on approach. We were really looking for that kind of partnership for this significant project. This project also strengthens the relationship between APU community members and facilitates the management and sharing of information to serve our students with excellence.”

Don Davis — Chief Information Officer, Azusa Pacific University

“Lee County School District is trying to maintain customer responsiveness with our current computer system - a 30-year-old legacy system. In today's demanding environment, our system is challenged trying to help us meet our customers' expectations. Our vision for the district is to have world class schools; we are calling this the Navigator Project. So this new ERP system supports our District vision - it will provide world class business tools for world class schools.”

Lee Legutko — Chief Business Officer, Lee County Public Schools

“After reviewing and evaluating all bids we received for our project, we chose CIBER to assist in our HR system assessment because of their extensive experience with Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Capital Management projects.”

“CIBER's proven implementation methodologies and outstanding reputation have created at BYU Hawaii a solid and reliable partnership. CIBER consultants have blended with our institutional culture and have created an implementation environment of trust and success. We are very happy with our CIBER relationship; they have really delivered.”

Jim Nilson — Chief Information Officer , BYU-Hawaii

“The CIBER team worked extremely well with our internal functional and technical team members. CIBER knew exactly what needed to be done and came in and accomplished it. The project was well-managed and organized. What is truly amazing is that they came in and figured out how to configure Absence Management with very little assistance from Oracle.”

Rhonda Ringer — Manager, Information Technology, Delaware Department of Transportation

“I had worked with CIBER on IT projects before when I was with the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. At AAU, CIBER helped us successfully implement Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Capital Management, PeopleSoft Financial Management, and PeopleSoft Enterprise Student Administration solutions, which are part of the PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions family. We were quite pleased with the results. CIBER is unique in that they are not tied to a specific vendor, and they have extensive higher education experience, so I knew they could deliver for us on our Oracle project here at UTPA.”

Bob Lim — Chief Information Officer, University of Texas – Pan American

“The combination of CIBER Canada’s strong technical credentials with PeopleSoft and their significant higher education expertise is rare, and something we value highly. The CIBER Canada team understood not just the technical aspects of the project, but the broader picture, helping us to streamline operations and reduce costs, eliminating the tedious manual tasks our staff dreaded. The team smoothly completed the project on time, helping us meet our goals.”

Shelagh Hohm — Director of Administrative Information Systems, University of Alberta

“CIBER was a proven and reliable partner on our implementation of PeopleSoft HR and Finance. There are many firms claiming to have Higher Education expertise, but experience has shown us that CIBER is a partner we can trust to deliver successful results. CIBER demonstrated their expertise, talent, and professionalism to us in previous projects, and we are confident they will do so again on the implementation of Campus Solutions.”

Steven Pace — Project Director, Northern Illinois University

“We needed a system that would enable us to attract, recruit and retain students, and monitor and record their progress. We required effective e-business systems for student interaction, student financials and the standard financial processes of a large and complex organization. The PeopleSoft applications from Oracle met our requirement. And with CIBER’s own implementation and integration methodology, we can bring the system live more quickly and easily.”

Jennifer Fry — Deputy Vice Chancellor for Services, University of Derby

“CIBER was the only consulting firm to meet our standards, with more than a decade of experience with PeopleSoft products and the only consulting partner to have successfully implemented PeopleSoft student systems in the UK.”

Rosemary Smith — System Project Manager, University of Manchester

“CIBER not only delivered quality results, but they were also committed to transferring that expertise to our users and preparing Cambridge to reap the strategic benefits of this project well into the 21st Century.”

Dennis Barrington-Light — Project Director for the Cambridge Student Information System, University of Cambridge

CIBER’s Upgrade Approach

CIBER’s upgrade approach focuses heavily on planning and proper execution to allow your upgrade to be completed with minimal impact to your current production system. Our approach is streamlined, yet flexible, allowing your upgrade to be performed as either a simple upgrade of current functionality, or as a more complex project that upgrades your current system and delivers additional capabilities as well. How do we do it?

Planning — CIBER works with your team to define the requirements of your upgrade, gathering information and building a plan that will guide your upgrade to a successful conclusion. We review your current PeopleSoft system and compare it to the baseline or “vanilla” delivered version of the current release. We look at modifications that have been made and help you determine which of those needs to be carried forward or eliminated. We help you determine possible enhancements that will help you get the most from your new system. Then, we build a plan to bring it all together.

Execution — We work with your team to perform the necessary technical development to make sure your new system will run according to plan. This includes executing upgrade scripts, reapplying any necessary modifications, and adapting any SQR’s. The end result is a system that delivers the functionality you need. With CIBER, you have the option of doing the upgrade on your servers at your location or more cost effectively in CIBER’s upgrade lab. We can help you determine which scenario is best for your project.

Training — When you work with CIBER, training happens at all times throughout the project. We work side by side with your team, transferring our knowledge of the new system every day, ensuring your team thoroughly understands the upgraded system, so that at the end of the project, they are capable of doing future upgrades and maintenance.

Testing — A CIBER upgrade will have minimal impact to your current production system. One of the ways we ensure this is by thoroughly testing the upgraded system in a “test” environment before going live. All scripts, modifications and interfaces are thoroughly tested, and only when the system is perfected, do we move your upgrade into production.
