Who We Are | MIPRO

Our Story

Oracle acquired PeopleSoft in 2005. A few of us who had been at PeopleSoft for almost a decade saw an opportunity – create a company dedicated to bringing back outrageous customer service for organizations as passionate about using PeopleSoft as we were. MIPRO was born.

We invest the time to understand what success looks like for each individual customer and work to deliver value through optimizations, upgrades and implementations of the PeopleSoft ERP/Financials, Supply Chain, Human Capital and Asset Lifecycle Management solutions.

Over the years, MIPRO has earned a reputation for our integrity, honesty and always “doing the right thing.” Recognized repeatedly as a 101 Best & Brightest Companies to Work For and as a Crain’s Cool Places to Work has enabled us to attract and retain top talent for our customers.

Mission & Values

We foster a culture of respect and collaboration that allows each member of our team to feel like a vital part of MIPRO Consulting and contribute to every function of the business. This approach allows us to focus the energy of each employee on providing “Outrageous Customer Service.”

Our Mission

What Our Customers Are Saying

“The MIPRO team genuinely cared about the outcome and truly understood the key challenges we were working to resolve. MIPRO was driven by customer success while responsibly managing costs and partnering with our internal team.”

Glenn Berryman - Director of IT Business Solutions, Community Health Network

“I’ve been fortunate to have a relationship with the folks at MIPRO for many years; both as a leaders of various Oracle User Communities and as a customer. They are a responsible partner; meaning that they put my best interests ahead of their own. Overall, a wonderful partner to have in the PeopleSoft community.”

Wendy Plante - Senior Director, Finance Enterprise Systems, NYU Langone Healthcare System

“MIPRO genuinely cared about the outcome. MIPRO acted as a true partner. We have worked with them since 2014 and look forward to working with them in the future.”

Subhendu Rath - IT Director Susan G. Komen Foundation

“MIPRO has been a valued contributor to Oracle over the years and we are excited to work with them as we continue to grow our relationship.”

Troy Richardson - SVP Oracle Strategic Alliances, Oracle Corporation

“I have been fortunate to work for the same organization for nearly 27 years. During that time I have been involved in several IT projects. I say with complete confidence and significant experience that MIPRO is among the best of the best.”

Daniel Stone - Capital Budgeting Manager Massport, Massachusetts Port Authority

“MIPRO was a true partner in this upgrade. I was very pleased with the level of MIPRO leadership that was engaged in our project. They ensured LCG was set up for a successful outcome from day one through completion.”

Jennifer Beers - VP and Controller Learning Care Group

“Over my 16 years of working with PeopleSoft, I had not chosen MIPRO a couple of times as they came in with the highest proposal. After having a couple of less than ideal experiences with my alternate choices, I gave MIPRO a try for our recent PeopleSoft 9.2 PUM update project. It turns out they represent ‘you actually DO get what you pay for’ as their quality was without issue and their oversight of the project was on point. They now occupy a prime space in the small group of ‘trusted partners’ that I use for consulting engagements.”

John P. Bray - Director Financial Business Systems KAR Auction Services
