6363 S. Fiddler's Green Circle, Suite 1400 Greenwood Village, CO  80111 www.Ciber.com Greenwood Village, Colo. - March 13, 2014 - Denver Public Schools (DPS) has teamed with Ciber to replace the school system's existing financial, procurement and business information systems with Infor software. The fastest-growing urban school district in the country, DPS has implemented improvements and is expecting additional operational efficiencies in its business processes.



"DPS has partnered with Ciber since 2008 for multiple projects," said Kathleen Rinkel, executive director of Finance at DPS.  "Ciber's Infor expertise brought us a proven implementation methodology and helped us identify business process improvements. We also have seen our efforts to improve our financial and operational efficiency progress because we incorporated a shared project management team and knowledge transfer into our implementations." The new, comprehensive solution improves DPS' system capabilities and processes by providing proper visibility of business data through Infor's Financial Suite, including General Ledger, Grant Management, Procurement Suite, Strategic Sourcing, Contract Management and Business Intelligence applications. DPS originally operated financial functions with a variety of disparate software systems that had limited integration, functionality and automation. With Infor, Ciber helped DPS migrate to a single, structured solution that enhances the school system's ability to provide timely and accurate financial and operational reporting. Ciber also converted DPS' historical data and validated the results for testing and live production.

"This successful Infor integration draws on the strength of Ciber's Infor practice and consultants," said Beth Dvoracek, vice president and Infor practice leader at Ciber. "In helping DPS transform their use of technology to meet organizational goals, the project has become a key success for Ciber in the K- 12 market." For more than a decade, Ciber has been a leader in providing business application solutions to education clients. More than 200 educational districts and institutions worldwide have worked with Ciber to prepare for, upgrade, implement, integrate and manage their enterprise systems.


Ciber's relationship with Infor dates back to 1995. As one of Infor's largest systems integration partners, Ciber's Infor experts have enhanced client systems capabilities through nearly three million consulting hours.
