“We were looking for a system that could create one integrated version of the truth for all of us. We required a new system that could be quickly implemented, very flexible, and able to scale to meet the demands of our growing business. We also needed to work with an implementation partner and a system that were no strangers to this highly specialized industry of ours. We felt that, of all the choices, the QuickWear system made, by far, the most sense for our business.”

Julie Wood — President, KNG

“CIBER was a great partner to implement our changeover to an SAP solution-based system. Omnitrans considers this to be one of the most successful enterprise applications ever rolled out for our organization. Due to the current economic climate, Omnitrans has experienced an increase in ridership. This implementation has allowed us to better serve our passengers.”

Durand Rall — CEO, Omnitrans

“We are excited to be working with CIBER as they are a leader in implementations of SAP Apparel and Footwear with a significant reference base. CIBER’s impressive capabilities will enable us to better serve our customers and allow our processes to run more smoothly and effectively.”

David Blakelock — Vice President of Information Technology, Boston Apparel Group

“The expansion of our efforts with CIBER is a logical progression of the long-term relationship between our companies. Leveraging CIBER’s attention to detail and understanding of our environment, we continue to improve customer service, deliver significant projects and strengthen our JSOX control environment.”

George Dramalis — Associate Vice President, Information Systems/CIO, Sharp Electronics Corporation

“Because of the joint efforts of the General Moly implementation team and CIBER, General Moly now has a functional ERP system that is providing us the opportunity to implement and refine our business processes. Our choice to use CIBER for implementation of the SAP solution, as well as the complete hosting and IT outsourcing services, allows us to have a single, integrated platform. We will continue to partner with CIBER and share our mining expertise to help them further refine their mining solution.”

Donna Peske — IT Manager, General Moly

“Partnering with CIBER will allow us to focus on developing the Mt. Hope project, and leave the management of our SAP implementation with a fully qualified implementation partner. Their extensive experience with the SAP Mining solution made them a natural choice to partner with for our operations.”

Lee Shumway — Director of Business Processes and Information Technology, General Moly

“We knew we had the manpower to complete this project, but we needed a partner to guide us through from start to finish. We were seeking a partner with a great deal of experience with SAP solutions who could steer us toward best practices and help us avoid pitfalls. CIBER’s experienced resources and strong implementation records were what convinced us that CIBER could help us accomplish more in a limited timeframe than our resources alone.”

Durand Rall — CEO/General Manager, Omnitrans

“We are pleased to have achieved the integration of our systems we envisioned more than two years ago. We are beginning to see the business process improvements that the SAP applications and inherent business best practices have allowed us to take advantage of, and we recognize that our business efficiencies will be realized over many years to come. We appreciate all of the hard work that has gone into making this project a success, especially the leadership CIBER has committed throughout the project.”

George Hatalowich — Chief Operating Officer, Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission

“Teamwork has been the key to the success of the PRIDE Project. CIBER and PTC project team members consistently overcame the challenges that were before them to enable a successful go live for finance and logistics. With finance and logistics now in production along with our previously implemented human capital management and payroll functionality, PTC now has the fully integrated system that we have been anticipating.”

Jeff Mesaric — Chief Information Officer, Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission

“We needed to replace our aging legacy systems, which worked well for us for many years, but which could not accommodate our changing needs. We needed a system to integrate data and simplify our business processes, and to provide us with support in terms of software upgrades.”

Lu McDonald — Vice President, Finance, Gramercy Alumina LLC

“We were aware of the hurdles school districts face with the implementation of ERP software. The implementation of mission-critical and highly visible applications, such as HCM and specifically payroll, have been well documented. We chose SAP and CIBER because they offered us the best options from a combined software and integration perspective, given CIBER’s methodology for implementing SAP ERP HCM within a K-12 district. Under CIBER’s leadership we avoided the challenges other districts have encountered during implementation. We’re very pleased.”

Charles Sipos — Executive Director of Information Technology, Fulton County Schools

“With the successful implementation of applications for finance, logistics, payroll and HCM, we now have a solid foundation for our business processes, from which we can continue to recognize additional value from the SAP Business Suite. ”

Mike Russell — Assistant Superintendent, Fulton County Schools

“The leadership team is excited about the benefits mySAP SRM will bring to our company. Enabling a closed loop process between us and our suppliers is important to our future and our suppliers’ productivity. CIBER’s successful mySAP SRM track record, combined with a company culture of following through on commitments, were key differentiators.”

John Bartho — CIO, NACCO Materials Handling Group

“The manual process was time consuming because it required the information to be handwritten and then keyed into the system, leaving room for error. The new solution provides a faster and simpler way for our material handlers to capture the data, allowing them to focus more on serving their customers.”

Linda Johnson — CIO, Sacramento Municipal Utility District

SAP has designated CIBER an official Retail Expertise Partner in EMEA and a Go-To Partner for Mid-Market Retail in the U.S. In 1996 CIBER assisted SAP in the first SAP for Retail implementation. We exclusively offer Rapid Retail, an SAP All-in-One Solution developed by CIBER, that will help you maximize the value from your SAP for Retail product suite more quickly, reducing time between project start and the realization of tangible business benefits. With Rapid Retail, risks are mitigated and implementation cycles shortened, while adhering to retail best practices and minimally disrupting your business.
