Oracle Approves JGI as an Oracle Accelerate Solution Provider

JGI, a Certified Partner in the Oracle(R) PartnerNetwork, today announced its Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Capital Management (HCM) and Financial Management application implementation solution focused on supporting companies in the Healthcare industry. The JGI Accelerated implementation methodology provides a fixed-cost and fixed-scope approach to HCM and financial management applications for midsize organizations in the Healthcare industry, allowing these businesses to achieve real business value quickly. With its inclusion in the Oracle Accelerate program, JGI becomes the only North American service provider delivering a PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM and Financials Oracle Accelerate implementation solution for companies in the Healthcare vertical. Earlier in the year, JGI announced the acceptance of these solutions in the Oracle Accelerate program for the Financial and Media/Entertainment industries.

The Oracle Accelerate program brings comprehensive, enterprise-class applications to midsize businesses. The key to Oracle Accelerate is the availability of application bundles that can be quickly implemented and that provide a wide range of functionality.

Recognizing that growing businesses with limited resources demand comprehensive business solutions that are low-cost and low-risk, JGI developed this approach, which combines industry best practices with customer specific functionality and a faster time-to-value. Using a lab-based approach, JGI hosts the development environment on their servers where the majority of the project work is conducted. Later in the project, the environment can either be moved to the customers' data center or continue to be hosted.

"For over 27 years, JGI has provided services supporting our clients' systems implementation, integration and support needs," explained George DiGrandi, CEO of JGI. "We are proud that Oracle recognizes our approach, allowing midsize organizations to realize the benefits of an industry-leading solution at a fixed, affordable price."

"Oracle Accelerate solutions combine our world-class applications with Oracle Business Accelerators and knowledgeable partners to deliver complete, industry-focused solutions that are affordable for midsize organizations," said Mark Keever, Group Vice President, Oracle. "The combination of Oracle's powerful applications and JGI's proven Oracle PeopleSoft Human Capital Management and Financials implementation methodologies, and their healthcare industry experience and best-practices expertise, will ensure that customers realize competitive benefits through low-risk, fixed-cost, high-impact implementations."
