On January 11, 2018 Perficient’s Oracle Enterprise Performance Management business unit was recognized by Oracle as a Cloud Excellence Implementer (CEI) for Oracle Enterprise Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (EPBCS). Perficient was recognized for its outstanding work delivering EPBCS solutions for new and legacy Oracle/Hyperion customers across North America.
“We struggled with reporting and analysis and needed a cloud solution,” said Biren Kumar CIO at KLX Inc. “Perficient’s EPM team helped us select EPBCS and guided us through the implementation. They challenged our finance team to think differently about their business processes. We would use them again in a heartbeat.”
The CEI partner program was announced during Oracle Open World 2017. It recognizes partners within the Oracle Partner Network who have demonstrated expertise on Oracle Cloud solutions. The program is reserved for OPN members at Gold level and above and has become an industry differentiator. Oracle has stringent rules to attain the CEI badge. In addition to having certified consultants in a given Oracle module, partners must also submit customer satisfaction surveys.
“Customers typically want a systems integrator to guide them on their journey to Oracle Cloud. The new CEI designation provides peace of mind that the partner has experience implementing a specific Oracle Cloud solution, and that customers have validated the projects were successful,” said Santhosh Nair, General Manager of Perficient’s Oracle EPM practice. “This should be an important factor in selecting a consulting partner.”
As Oracle continues to innovate in the cloud, the EPM cloud stack is evolving rapidly. The CEI designation indicates that Perficient partner has made the investments – time, personnel, and technology – to be among the most trusted advisors in the EPM space.
Perficient is a Platinum level member of Oracle Partner Network (OPN) with expertise in cloud and on-premises solutions for EPM, ERP, BI and CX. Platinum level partners have extensive expertise across a broad range of products and technologies as well as at least five qualifying specializations.
