In 2015, the County wanted to retain a professional services firm to enable a diversified skill of application managed services for PeopleSoft.\u00c2\u00a0 CherryRoad was retained by the County as that firm.\u00c2\u00a0 Subsequently the County issued an upgrade RFP for their PeopleSoft modules that included General Ledger, Purchasing, eProcurement, Accounts Payable, Fixed Assets, and Workflow. CherryRoad was selected as the implementation partner for the PeopleSoft upgrade.\u00c2\u00a0 After the PeopleSoft upgrade, the County explored options for Hyperion.\u00c2\u00a0 In 2020, the County selected Oracle\u2019s Public Sector Budgeting Cloud Service.\u00c2\u00a0 The upgrade \/ implementation was highly successful and marked a significant point in time as the County moved a critical workload to the Cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The CherryRoad Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CherryRoad performed Application Managed Services for Sonoma County in support of the County\u2019s implementation of PeopleSoft Financials, and Budgeting modules.\u00c2&nbsp;\u00c2&nbsp;In addition to that work, CherryRoad partnered with the County to upgrade the PeopleSoft Financials modules from version 9.1 to 9.2.

us, as a local government, to implement solutions that are transparent, representative of best practices, and affordable. Because the Oracle Cloud EPM is scalable and highly customizable, it works for our organization and is really limited only by what we can imagine. Oracle Cloud EPM also represents an important transition from an on-premises system to the Cloud. We here in Sonoma County, unfortunately, know first-hand how important it is to have a robust and cost-effective disaster recovery plan.
