What They Say

Testimonials

"We partnered with Sierra-Cedar to replace our 30-year-old system and paper-based processes with Oracle Cloud Applications. They thoughtfully listen to our staff, understand our requirements, and provide us with proven solutions based on Best Business Practices. They are focused on our need to not only improve the software, but the antiquated and time-consuming processes we currently utilize. They are doing an excellent job. While being professional and keeping our project on time, they make the process fun and are building relationships with us that will last for years past this project."

Elizabeth Parry, CIO

- Dauphin County, PA

"We had a tight timeline and limited resources for our cloud project. Sierra-Cedar's skilled consultants and agile methodologies helped Bowie State migrate from PeopleSoft to Oracle Cloud seamlessly and efficiently.”

Maurice Tyler, Chief Information Officer

- Bowie State University

"Sierra-Cedar joined the Pitt team as a true partner, helping us understand the system fully and jumping in when needed to help solve a problem, take on extra work, or review options with us. Their expertise and support were a huge part of our success.”

Angela Neria, Associate VP of Technology

- Pittsburg State University

“Florida A&M University (FAMU) chose Oracle's Student Financial Planning (SFP) application as a proactive approach to utilize technology for positive change to better serve our students. Sierra-Cedar collaborated with FAMU to reexamine business processes that would allow our financial aid team to allocate more time to advise students and parents rather than running manual processes."

William Hudson Jr., Ph.D., Vice President for Student Affairs

- Florida A&M University

"In the hours and days immediately following the [9/11] attacks, you couldn’t tell the difference between Sierra-Cedar and Port Authority staff in terms of their dedication.  These people barely survived themselves, yet continued to work through the night, and long days and nights thereafter, helping the Port Authority through its most difficult tragedy. While I always knew that Port Authority staff can do the impossible, I never expected that “miracle worker” would be one of Sierra-Cedar’s job functions. I can never thank them enough."

Margaret Zoch, Former Comptroller

- The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey

“Sierra-Cedar did a fantastic job on this project, helping us define the requirements, design the solution, and build the solution for us.  The consultants that they brought in were brilliant.  They were knowledgeable and had the required Public Sector experience to meet our complex requirements.  They went above and beyond to help and patiently address the needs of our users.  We are extremely happy with the services provided by Sierra-Cedar, and we plan to work with them again in the future.”

Vijay Badal, Director Application Services

- Douglas County, NE

“Sierra-Cedar consistently ranks at the top of the scorecard we use to track partner performance in Public Sector.  I have every confidence that when Sierra-Cedar is engaged as my Oracle Cloud ERP/HCM partner, our customers are in great hands because of their know-how, their passion for serving government and education clients, and the successful outcomes they achieve with their clients.”

Daniel Keene, Group VP for State & Local Government

- Oracle

“We are far less dependent upon internal IT today. We’ve been live for about five months and have gone from being about 90% dependent on IT resources to about 15%, and that continues to decline. When all is said and done, we anticipate saving over $2 million in the total cost of ownership.”

Susan Willis, CFO

- Wichita Public Schools

“Sierra-Cedar has worked with our leadership and subject matter experts to improve processes thanks to the modern and expansive functionality within Oracle Cloud Applications. Together, we are making history by building a great system for this generation and the next.”

Stephen Fuller, Enterprise Program Manager

- Oklahoma City, OK

"It's been a six-month journey with hours and hours of Hangout, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams meetings driving this implementation amidst Covid disruptions. Sierra-Cedar adapted well and brought Oracle Cloud experts to the project, that helped effectively deliver an improved HR experience to our employees."

Arpita Sarkar, Head - Performance and Rewards

- Randstad India

“These experienced resources have demonstrated a genuine concern for our success as their first priority, and they have designed and implemented the configuration and business process solutions needed in support of NMDOT’s mission-critical systems. They have always been able to furnish the right resource at the right time for us, even when our needs require a “needle in a haystack” or urgent response.”

Pat Byrd, Project Manager

- State of New Mexico

"Sierra-Cedar was instrumental in assisting K-State with restoring our production HR System and migrating the system to AWS, allowing us to meet our immediate payroll deadline. They have also assisted us in staging other ERP systems for DR/BC capability in the future."

Gary L. Pratt, Chief Information Officer

- Kansas State University

"Sierra-Cedar assembled a very talented team to partner with our King County project team, the project came in on time and under budget. This was a significant achievement given the County’s highly customized Time and Labor module. Sierra-Cedar brought the right mix of project management, technical, and functional expertise.  I appreciated the open communication and collaboration, their dedication to supporting the aggressive timeline, and their prompt attention to resolve issues quickly. I could not have asked for a better result."
