“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."

- Florida A&M University

"I attribute our success to strong internal project management, a cooperative partnership with Sierra-Cedar, excellent consultants, and a dedicated project team. Without any one of these, the project could have faltered. Sierra-Cedar’s consultants have become like “family,” and they are as committed to our success as we are."
