Client success
Client success is our primary performance metric. We believe in building strong working relationships and achieving desired client results. We have successfully assisted 275 colleges and universities in meeting their consulting needs related to ERP systems and/or organizational development. We have a diverse client base that includes all institutional types, sizes and geographic regions of the country.

Higher Education experience
Our 150 senior higher education functional consultants average more than ten years experience working with and for colleges and universities. Many of our consultants are former higher education faculty or administrators, such as Registrars, Directors of Admissions, Financial Aid, Student Financials, Controllers, CIOs, Human Resource Directors, etc.

PeopleSoft expertise
The Higher Education Practice’s functional consultants average ten years of PeopleSoft experience. Our technical consultants average more than eight years experience working with PeopleSoft. Their knowledge of higher education best practices is combined with expertise in how to optimize best practices within ERP systems.

Process-centric approach
The cornerstone of our methodology is our process-centric approach, which means that we understand the higher education environment and focus on our client’s business processes. We then facilitate the design of best practices that can be supported by technology solutions. The process-centric approach looks at a whole business process—not just the tasks that are automated—and includes all parties involved in or affected by that process. From the outset of a project, we guide our clients to examine how they operate today and to envision how they can best operate in the future using the new technology. Our role is to facilitate a vision for process improvement and to determine how the technology can be optimized to realize that vision.
