State & Local Governments, K-12, and Higher Ed Gain Advantages of a Cloud-Based Solution through the CherryRoad Public Sector Cloud

MORRIS PLAINS, N.J., Sept. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Leveraging best practices gained from hundreds of implementations and upgrades, CherryRoad Technologies Inc., a Platinum level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) and a leading Public Sector systems integrator, has developed a Public Sector Cloud Solution powered by Oracle Applications and Oracle Engineered Systems including Oracle Exadata Database Machine and Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud, to allow customers to successfully address the stringent requirements of K-12, Higher Education, and State & Local governments.

"For years, an industry-wide recognized shortcoming of SaaS has been that as a solution designed to work in the commercial market, it simply didn't meet the stringent requirements of the public sector. CherryRoad's Cloud Solution was built with the necessary infrastructure, methodologies, internal controls and processes required for public sector entities to take full advantage of the efficiencies of a subscription-based priced solution – while allowing for individually-specific configurations and customizations," states Jeremy Gulban, President, CherryRoad Technologies Inc.

"CherryRoad has created a cloud offering that is a fantastic new option for customers to leverage the strength and depth of Oracle's PeopleSoft product line, along with the efficiencies and simplicity of the cloud delivery model.  This SaaS (Software as a Service) solution is functionally robust and, with its Oracle infrastructure, allows for more flexibility," said Dennis Morgan, VP of Public Sector Channels

CherryRoad's Public Sector Cloud Solution, provides public entities with the following advantages:

• The flexibility for public-sector-specific configuration and customization
• Utilizes the #1 public sector ERP application, Oracle
• Leverages best-in-class Oracle Engineered Systems:  Oracle Exadata and Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud
• Leverages world class Data Centers and performance
• Supported by a robust Tier2 and Tier 3 Help Desk
• Provides public sector clients the option to later port the entire application and data
• Provides the experience and qualifications of OPN Platinum level member, CherryRoad
• Built on years of public sector best practices
