MiPro Consulting, a nationally-recognized provider of PeopleSoft, Workday and Business Intelligence consulting services, today announced that it has been selected to provide PeopleSoft professional services for East Kentucky Power Cooperative's (EKPC) PeopleSoft business transformation project.

In addition, MiPro will help deploy PeopleSoft's HCM Employee Self-Service and Talent Acquisition modules.

"We are delighted to have earned this strategic business from a such a progressive utility company and look forward to a close working relationship with EKPC over the coming years," said Chris Bishop, president of MiPro Consulting. "In addition to our reputation for PeopleSoft proficiency and experience, I believe our cultural fit, flexibility, ALM specialization and the strength of our consultants played a crucial role in winning the account."
