SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CIBER Enterprise
Solutions, a division of CIBER, Inc. (NYSE: CBR), has won a ten-month,
$4 million contract with Omnitrans, the public transit system for the County
of San Bernardino, to implement a new SAP(R) business and technology solution
for the organization. Omnitrans currently uses numerous applications to run
its operations. The SAP solution will replace these systems and integrate all
operational data into a single repository to make strategic decision-making
activities easier.

For the project, which will begin this month, CIBER will implement SAP
applications, which include financials, human capital management, procurement
and information technology (IT) infrastructure.
'We knew we had the manpower to complete this project, but we needed a
partner to guide us through from start to finish,' said Durand Rall,
CEO/General Manager, Omnitrans. 'We were seeking a partner with a great deal
of experience with SAP solutions who could steer us toward best practices and
help us avoid pitfalls. CIBER's experienced resources and strong
implementation records were what convinced us that CIBER could help us
accomplish more in a limited timeframe than our resources alone.'
'The team of experts from CIBER, SAP and Omnitrans will help Omnitrans
make the best use of its time, money, and personnel resources to deliver
financial returns from this IT investment,' said Patrick Bakey, President, SAP
Public Services, Inc., based in Washington D.C. 'The SAP solution will provide
Omnitrans with the scope of functionality it needs right now, while
accommodating the organization's future growth. In the end, the solution will
provide the features and flexibility Omnitrans needs along with a very
reasonable total cost of ownership.'
Following the completion of the implementation, CIBER will advise,
counsel, and mentor Omnitrans team members in the areas of implementation,
training material development, trainer selection, trainer education, classroom
delivery, change management, and project communication.
'This is a big initiative, but its benefits for Omnitrans will be numerous
and far-reaching,' said Mike Wingert, Vice President of CIBER's SAP Public
Sector Practice. 'By implementing SAP and therefore upgrading its financial,
human resources, and materials management applications, Omnitrans can
significantly increase its operational efficiencies, which translates into
reduced costs and greater services to its constituents. We're very pleased to
be chosen to help Omnitrans achieve these goals.'
Established in 1976, Omnitrans and its 275 vehicles serve 34 fixed routes
over 408 square miles to transport 15 million riders each year throughout San
Bernardino County.
