Many of the consultants at Peak Performance Technologies have been working with HCM, Financials, Supply Chain, CRM and Campus Solutions products since their inception and we have tailored a rapid implementation methodology and pricing model that allows us our clients to implement much of the system on their own. We can provide the templates, tools and underlying project framework for a client to run a project on their own or we can manage the entire engagement ourselves. In today’s difficult economic conditions our model has become popular where clients engage us to provide targeted onsite and remote assistance while we mentor their team throughout the implementation (or upgrade) lifecycle.  We have focused much of our attention on small to mid-sized universities and government agencies and have tailored our delivery model on providing the following unique implementation tactics:

• • Menu Based Software and Implementation Options
  • Hosted Implementations
  • Onsite/Remote Implementation teams to reduce costs
  • Variable work schedules to accommodate these customer’s resource and budgetary constraints

Oracle Corporation (and their licensed resellers) has deeply discounted the ERP software and Peak Performance Technologies’ industry expertise and reliance on subject matter experts capable of working with our rapid implementation methodology, small and mid-sized colleges and public sector entities are now able to implement comprehensive business solutions faster and with less risk than ever before. The benefits to you are sophisticated, scalable solutions at a competitive price.
