CherryRoad Technologies Inc., a full-service systems integrator and Oracle Certified Advantage partner, has successfully completed the upgrade and enhancement of The University of Delaware’s Oracle/PeopleSoft Financials and HRMS systems.
Performed simultaneously, the on-time, on-budget upgrades bring the University’s PeopleSoft environment up to Version 8.9 and strengthen its ability to realize the full potential of UD’s technology investment.
By effectively leveraging new Version 8.9 functionality, the University has improved its overall ease of operations and usage of the system while significantly reducing the need for customizations. In addition, UD used the opportunity to implement new delivered functionality to improve its current business processes. Departments most notably affected by the upgrades include: Procurement Services, General Accounting, Research Office, Budget Office, Billing & Collection, Cashiers Office, Associate Treasurer’s Office – Financial Services, as well as the Human Resources Office.
Susan Foster, the University’s Vice President of IT-Information Technologies stated, “This is the second time in which the University has partnered with CherryRoad to achieve our business and technology objectives. During both experiences, CherryRoad has exceeded our expectations. They have clearly demonstrated that they are a caring organization that listens. They have provided us with consultants who understand that system implementation is a technical and human process and are talented at blending both beautifully.”
