Here are some recent Lawson projects in which CIBER worked with clients to reduce total implementation and ownership costs using best practices, industry knowledge, tools, templates and intellectual property to streamline operations, drive out waste and increase ROI:
-- ERP upgrade and hospital system consolidation: CIBER updated and
consolidated the ERP system and database covering several hospitals and
other entities within a large regional healthcare organization. The
project included an enterprise-wide implementation of Lawson Financials,
Human Resources and Payroll software packages.
-- ERP implementation to increase workflow efficiency and improve
decision-making capabilities for a large regional water wholesaler: A
large regional water wholesaler contracted with CIBER for an assessment
of an abandoned implementation and design of a new system. Based on
successful completion of those projects, CIBER is now installing Lawson
Human Resources, Payroll, Financials and Supply Chain/Procurement
software.
-- Implementation of Lawson HR, Financials and Supply Chain Management to
improve total cost of ownership for a U.S. city: This project for a
mid-sized city in the West will eliminate redundant systems, streamline
operations and help reduce costs and liability. The new solution will
also help the city save millions on total cost of ownership over its
previous ERP system.
-- Managed Services to free-up and focus IT resources strategically for a
services organization: After two successful upgrades, CIBER is now
providing managed services to free-up client IT resources so a global
accounting, auditing and consulting firm can focus on their core
business strategy and operations.
-- Talent Management and Financials implementation to help a large public
school district identify and retain peak performers: The implementation
of Lawson Talent Management and Lawson Financials for a 182-school
organization with more than 81,000 students helped the district measure,
support and reward top educators.
-- Lawson Talent Management project to better manage a global workforce for
an oil and gas firm: CIBER headed up deployment of a worldwide system
that will enable a leading oil and gas firm to streamline business
processes and more effectively manage its global workforce.
-- Talent acquisition and management system to improve visibility for a
healthcare organization: CIBER is implementing Lawson software to
replace a talent management system that relied heavily on manual
processes and was not integrated with a healthcare network's HR
management software. The new solution will be fully integrated,
providing automated work flows and better visibility into the hiring
process.
-- M3 software implementation to support productivity for a wholesale
organization: CIBER developed processes and provided leadership on a
food wholesaler's M3 implementation.
-- Upgrade and implement new processes and solutions to increase
efficiencies for a public schools system: Leveraging its experience in
K-12, CIBER helped the client increase procurement efficiencies with the
implementation of Mobile Supply Chain and Strategic Sourcing. The use
of handhelds improved receipt and delivery of supplies as well as
inventory management. Strategic Sourcing enabled the district to better
negotiate and manage vendor contracts, resulting in cost savings.
Teacher Contracts, which also is being deployed, will help proactively
manage staff contracts and associated pay as work assignments change
throughout the school year.
-- Replaced aging ERP financial, procurement and human resources systems
for a large hospital with a fully integrated Lawson solution: CIBER
managed project planning and implementation for a rapidly growing
four-hospital health system to increase functionality and reporting
capabilities, provide better service and consolidate and streamline
business processes. Employee and manager self-service applications,
report bursting and distribution and workflow automation provides users
and executives better access to key information. The new system also
provides the foundation for future growth.
