OCEANSIDE, Calif. – June 25, 2009 – CIBER, Inc. (NYSE: CBR), an Oracle services partner, announces the completed MiraCosta College upgrade of several Oracle applications. CIBER divided these multiple upgrades into two projects and both were completed on-time and on-budget.
MiraCosta College partnered with CIBER in 1999 on the original implementation of the PeopleSoft integrated Human Resource/Student Administration system. The most recent engagement included the upgrades of PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, Human Capital Management system, as well as Financials and Supply Chain system. All applications are now running in 9.0 versions.
“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,” said Mario Valente, MiraCosta’s Dean of Academic Information Services.
CIBER provided MiraCosta with Technical and Functional Consulting on both upgrade projects, and shortened the upgrade timeline in order to reduce cost. CIBER’s Upgrade Lab allowed CIBER consultants to complete a large portion of the project off-site. The use of the lab approach minimized the impact of an upgrade on MiraCosta’s staff, ensured all deadlines were met and minimized the cost of the upgrade.
“CIBER has a long standing relationship with MiraCosta College. We are very pleased to be their trusted Oracle/PeopleSoft partner. CIBER worked hard to complete the upgrades as expeditiously as possible at minimal cost,” said Mike Dillon, Senior Vice President of CIBER’s Higher Education Practice.

The district serves the north coastal area of San Diego County, offering transfer education, vocational education, general education, basic skills education, community education and student support services to more than 15,000 students at three educational sites: MiraCosta College in Oceanside, the San Elijo Campus in Cardiff, and the Community Learning Center in Oceanside.
