CIBER Announces Development of Reporting Service for California Community Colleges

Posted on: Tuesday, 19 May 2009, 07:00 CDT

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CIBER, Inc., (NYSE: CBR) a global provider of information technology (IT) services, announced the continued development and maintenance of a reporting service to support California MIS 320 reporting requirements for colleges in the California Community College System running Oracle(R)'s PeopleSoft Enterprise 9.0 applications. CIBER has offered maintenance for these reports for earlier versions of the PeopleSoft Enterprise applications for the past nine years and will now continue to offer repeat maintenance for the latest release.

The California Community College System Office reported in 2007 that 29 percent of Credit Students attended more than one college during their academic career. The MIS 320 Reports require California Community Colleges to provide student data, courses, and college calendars to ensure accuracy in reporting financial aid, Federal Perkins Loans, enrollment, matriculation and more. By consolidating the management of these reports within the integrated PeopleSoft Enterprise environment, CIBER will greatly enhance reporting capabilities for the individual California Community Colleges, while reducing the resources required from each school to maintain separate reporting systems.

Colleges and universities subscribing to the MIS 320 reporting service will benefit from reduced management and maintenance of their system while meeting the state reporting requirements. CIBER will maintain the MIS 320 Reports to meet the state's changing standards as well as provide updates for future PeopleSoft Enterprise product releases. CIBER has provided consulting services to virtually all of the California Community Colleges running PeopleSoft Enterprise ERP systems and values its relationship as a development partner with each school.

CIBER brings to the California Community Colleges significant experience working with PeopleSoft Enterprise applications in the higher education industry. "We are firmly committed to providing enterprise-wide services for higher education clients," said Mike Dillon, Senior Vice President of CIBER's Higher Education practice. "As the leading publicly-traded systems integrator of PeopleSoft Enterprise software for higher education, we are excited about this solution and our ability to provide the California Community Colleges with the support needed to fulfill the reporting requirements of the state of California."

CIBER, a Certified Advantage Partner in the Oracle(R) PartnerNetwork, is a leader in the U.S. and Canadian Oracle and PeopleSoft higher education markets, having implemented Oracle and PeopleSoft Enterprise applications at more than 175 institutions in the United States and Canada. Approximately 25 percent of Oracle and PeopleSoft higher education customers have worked with CIBER to implement and/or upgrade their software.
