They utilize a very effective methodology that got us through the implementation process very efficiently. And they were very disciplined about managing the scope of the project to make sure that we hit our deadlines. We chose to work with CIBER because they were experts in the field, and they could help us stay on a timeline and give us the end product we needed. We use technology in everything that we do and we’re excited to now have the technology information platform to be able to grow and build our business for the future.”

Kathleen Morgan — Controller, Apio, Inc.

“We needed a current, robust and flexible system to meet the needs of our complex business practices. We found that in PeopleSoft. We relied on CIBER to provide the implementation and guidance to help us accomplish our goals of increased overall productivity and improved customer satisfaction. We see great potential in the new PeopleSoft system and are pleased with CIBER’s ability to leverage its knowledge from other healthcare clients to ensure our implementation went as smoothly as possible.”

Leonard J. Dryer, Jr. — Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, The Children’s Hospital

“CIBER was easy to work with and competitively priced. They quickly brought a great deal of expertise and experience to the table, and delivered on their promises. We felt that we were in good hands, because the CIBER consultants we brought in had 'been there, done that" before.”

Steve DeMougin — Deputy Director for the Department of IT, State of Indiana

“RTD is very pleased that this project delivered for the District's constituents on its primary objectives and did so on time and on budget.

Over the duration of the project,CIBER worked seamlessly with the RTD team as partners to deliver on a solution that will serve us for years to come.”

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

Oracle Public Sector

Strategic Services | Specific Expertise | Proven Experience | Public Sector Solutions | Clients

Government organizations at the city, county, state and federal levels are challenged to respond to constituent and employee demands for additional and more effective services. Regulatory requirements dictate upgrade and integration of systems to provide a high level of accountability to taxpayers. Managers need more financial reporting information to support decision-making. Recruiting and retaining highly skilled staff can also be a challenge.

Today’s public sector environment requires government organizations to meet all of these challenges, while also contending with reduced budgets and the rapid pace of technological change. In short, government organizations must find ways to do more, more quickly and with less money.

CIBER is committed to Oracle’s public sector clients, and can offer a complete, integrated solution to meet a wide range of IT needs for today’s public sector organizations. We can help government organizations meet these demands and prepare for tomorrow’s challenges through streamlining, standardizing and improving business processes to increase productivity and deliver improved services, accountability and transparency to constituents. We understand your challenges and have the tools and expertise to help you succeed. And we can help you do it all within budget, with minimal impact to your daily operations.

Strategic Services: Project Definition, Planning and Budgeting

Project definition and planning are the crucial, foundational activities when the project vision, scope, objectives and governance are defined. CIBER’s project definition and planning examines the level at which your organization is prepared for a new enterprise system initiative or implementation. This phase provides the assurance that project participants, including executives, administration, and staff members understand the project goals and agree on how the project objectives will be achieved.

CIBER has successfully implemented the full suite of Oracle’s E-Business Suite and PeopleSoft Enterprise products for hundreds of clients at all levels of government—including cities, counties, states, provinces and federal agencies.

Application Development and Maintenance

CIBER’s Application Development and Management services provide analysis, design, development, testing, implementation and maintenance of business applications.

Enterprise Integration

Our Global Enterprise Integration Practice designs, builds, implements, and supports enterprise IT architectures. We integrate data, processes, and applications to deliver fully functional solutions tailored to your business needs.

Data Governance - A successful data governance program offers a way to manage corporate data, providing a reliable, accurate, trustworthy, single source of the truth—a solid, reliable foundation for making business decisions.

Business Intelligence (BI) - A business intelligence initiative can help your organization create infrastructure to transform raw data into information you can use to monitor the marketplace and measure company performance. A BI initiative often takes the shape of just-in-time reporting, web-based portals, or executive dashboards, which provide secure access for authorized individuals to view a wealth of information both visually and according to function.

Service Oriented Architecture - An overall Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Strategy incorporates the assembly of reusable autonomous services, loosely coupled interfaces between services, and centralized governance.

IT Operations (Helpdesk and Hosting)

CIBER’s IT operation offerings include hosting and helpdesk solutions. CIBER helpdesk experts can help you leverage best practices that dramatically improve the performance and efficiency of your support services.

Organizational Change Management

Change management encompasses activities that help organizations successfully manage the user acceptance of new processes and systems. Ultimately, the ability to realize your vision for a new enterprise system lies in the users who must change the way they work. CIBER will work with you to develop a change management strategy, and form a dedicated team of “Change Agents” to successfully implement and achieve acceptances of the changes in organizational policy, business processes and technology.

IT Security

CIBER offers a full suite of assessments to evaluate the security practices, vulnerabilities, risks, regulatory compliance and overall security strategy of public sector organizations. Our assessments provide a comprehensive, objective review of the presence and effectiveness of technical and programmatic security controls.

Implementation, Integration, and Support

CIBER provides a unique combination of technical software knowledge, functional expertise and project management experience that helps customers streamline decision-making and reduce implementation time. Our implementation services adhere to a proven methodology that helps control costs, effectively manage project schedules and minimize risks. Based on our experience with a wide range of hardware, software and enterprise solutions, CIBER has developed a well-deserved reputation for providing best-in-class Integration Services and Solutions. CIBER has developed powerful toolsets that integrate different applications and systems together, link front and back-office systems and connect legacy components with the latest technology. Once a project has reached the go-live date CIBER offers on-going maintenance, patches and fixes, upgrades, helpdesk and IT outsourcing solutions for continued support.

Specific Expertise

Transportation

Transportation Agencies finance high level projects with significant federal funding allocations. Each specific high level project may contain several subprojects and require extensive, detailed reporting to properly obtain their correct reimbursement. Departments of Transportation, Regional Transit Systems and local airports often attempt to track each project on multiple systems that contain redundant information and are not interfaced. CIBER implements user friendly Oracle systems that eliminate this problem and drastically improve billing cycles. By connecting time and labor software with inventory, billing and accounts receivable PeopleSoft, the ability to track detailed accounting information is vastly improved.

case in point

Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) - Case in Point

The Wyoming Department of Transportation is Wyoming’s largest and most diverse state agency and the majority of WYDOT’s funds come from the federal government in the form of reimbursements after project expenditures have been completed. The amount WYDOT is reimbursed is based on actual expenditures incurred after a project’s completion and not on project amounts. Also, many projects are funded from multiple sources with annual maximums that cannot be exceeded. In order to ensure the agency is properly reimbursed for full project costs, it is necessary to complete very detailed and accurate project tracking.

CIBER was approached to implement and customize PeopleSoft to create one efficient IT solution and replace WYDOT’s many disparate IT systems that were unable to share data and contained several different databases to track project data. CIBER implemented Oracle PeopleSoft Human Resources, Time and Labor, Financials, Supply Chain, and FHWA Federal Billing applications. Because WYDOT required so many additional features to track linear assets, a third party product, Agile Assets, was obtained to cover WYDOT’s specific asset management needs.

CIBER’s implementation and customization resulted in a completely integrated solution. Employees throughout the agency can all use the same system and data to track all aspects of highway projects. WYDOT can now identify projected funding for each project phase. Projections are now easily accessible and the creation of funds distribution definitions is simpler.

Through the use of CIBER’s solution, WYDOT is the only Department of Transportation in the U.S. which has a fully integrated human capital management, supply chain management, asset management, and asset maintenance ERP system. CIBER’s solution for WYDOT was recognized by Oracle for its innovation and was awarded the Oracle North America Titan Award for PeopleSoft Enterprise Solutions.

Cities and Counties

Government organizations at the city and county levels are challenged to respond to constituent and employee demands for additional and more effective services. This is accomplished by improving decision maker access to information. CIBER provides Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing to properly track and report on specific city and county projects. Often this also means replacing costly and outdated legacy systems. Users are able to access project tracking and financial information from their PC and decision makers are provided more detailed information to properly assess current and future projects.

case in point

Stanislaus County

Stanislaus County has 4,200 employees and runs on an Oracle platform. CIBER worked with Stanislaus County to implement the Release of 7.0 of PeopleSoft in 1999. That implementation included Human Resources, Benefits Administration, Payroll, and Time and Labor. This project marked one of the first public sector PeopleSoft time and labor implementations.

Years later it was apparent that an upgrade was necessary to improve specific support and payroll issues. PeopleSoft payroll runs were taking 4-6 hours to complete and the County was in danger of losing full vendor maintenance support. Stanislaus County also wanted to convert from a UNIX platform to LINUX. In addition to the PeopleSoft upgrade, CIBER corrected the County’s table index and archived outdated data. The result was an increase in functionality and efficiency. Payroll runs now take 20-30 minutes and Stanislaus County has full PeopleSoft maintenance support.

Following the upgrade, CIBER completed a successful implementation of the eBenefits module. This module enables employees to enroll online for benefits during the open enrollment season.

States

States are often faced with the need to improve reporting and replace older technology. When a state undergoes such a large change, each state agency is directly affected. In order to ensure success at every level CIBER addresses the specific needs of each individual agency and their individual missions. Once CIBER has made the necessary implementations they work directly with each agency to educate and train state employees. Because the new system is often the same throughout the state, end-users are impacted on a large magnitude. CIBER’s training and change management capabilities ensure employees are comfortable with the new-user friendly system.

case in point

Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS)

When the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act passed in the State of Colorado, the Colorado Department of Human Services needed to make significant changes to its public assistance programs. These changes would radically alter the information CDHS needed to manage its programs and would require CDHS’s public assistance tracking systems to be integrated with the systems of the County Departments of Social Services.

CIBER and CDHS decided to implement Oracle Public Sector Financials software because it could support integration of the state and county systems allowing information sharing between the counties and the state while reducing CDHS’s workload by distributing more work to the counties. CIBER’s implementation included Purchasing, Accounts Payable, General Ledger, Accounts Receivable and Applications Desktop Integrator to meet the new requirements.

CIBER provided hardware, software, customization and implementation services, as well as ongoing support and project management. CIBER’s functional and technical expertise helped dramatically increase CDHS’s overall functionality as accurate and timely expenditure data has reduced manual calculations. Information does not need human intervention to be shared between systems and is commonly shared and usable by individual members. This has allowed CDHS to accurately and effectively adjust to the necessary changes made in Colorado’s public assistance programs.

Proven Experience, Proven Solutions

With more than 30 years of experience, CIBER has helped dozens of federal government departments and agencies, 50 states and hundreds of local government entities.
