CIBER Completes Oracle Implementation for Cerritos College On Time and Under Budget
NORWALK, Calif. – May 27, 2008 – CIBER Enterprise Solutions, a division of CIBER, Inc. (NYSE: CBR), has completed a major information technology (IT) system upgrade-on time and under budget-for Norwalk-based Cerritos College. The project launch was completed smoothly and in record time, and is one of the first upgrades of its kind to be completed nationwide.
CIBER partnered with Cerritos College to perform an upgrade of Cerritos College’s Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions 8.0, Enterprise Portal 8.0, and Human Capital Management 8.0 applications to the most recent 9.0 release. CIBER is one of the first companies to upgrade to Oracle’s 9.0 PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions nationwide. This upgrade includes enhancements for Cerritos to help it more easily comply with complex state and federal reporting requirements for higher education institutions.
As a result of the upgrade project, Cerritos College can offer students greater access to their academic and financial records with the new web based Student Center. There are numerous colleges within close proximity to Cerritos College; by providing robust self-service web-based applications to Cerritos’ student population, Cerritos can further enhance its strategic positioning and stand out among these institutions.
Upgrading the Campus Solutions applications and integrating it with the portal entailed creating an overall project plan to ensure all critical steps were scheduled and documented; running through the upgrade scripts and completing test runs; migrating, adding, and testing 150 security profiles; and documenting each step for the launch of the system.
“CIBER was instrumental in ensuring an efficient go live,” said Lee Krichmar, Director of Information Technology for Cerritos College. “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.”
CIBER had successfully worked with Cerritos previously to implement Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Capital Management and Student Administration version 8.0.
“The success of this project is due in great part to the experience, dedication, and collaborative spirit of Cerritos’ team,” said Mike Dillon, Senior Vice President of CIBER’s Higher Education Practice. “CIBER and Cerritos worked together as true partners, overcoming the hurdles that invariably show up in any IT project, especially one of this size and complexity. It was a pleasure to work with them.”
CIBER, a Certified Advantage Partner in Oracle Partner Network, is a leader in the U.S. and Canadian Oracle and PeopleSoft higher education markets, having implemented Oracle and PeopleSoft Enterprise applications at more than 175 institutions in the United States and Canada. Approximately 25 percent of Oracle and PeopleSoft higher education customers have worked with CIBER to implement and/or upgrade their software.
Founded in 1955, Cerritos College offers degrees and certificates in 87 areas of study. Each year, more than 1,200 students complete their studies at the public community college, which is located in southeastern Los Angeles County.
