Velocity Technology Solutions Implements Oracle HCM and Financials for TriWest Healthcare Alliance

CHARLOTTE, NC--(Marketwired - March 02, 2016) - Velocity Technology Solutions Inc., a global leader in enterprise and business application cloud services, announced that it has entered into a partnership to provide application management services of Oracle PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (HCM) and Financials for TriWest Healthcare Alliance. TriWest is a partner to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in administering the Veterans Choice Program in all or part of 28 states to provide health care in the community when VA is unable to do so in-house.

The support relationship with Velocity will continue to enhance TriWest's current human capital, financial management and business process applications and further improve its core Human Capital functions for recruitment, benefits processing, and streamline financial processes for expenses and payables.

"We initially approached Velocity looking for an Oracle PeopleSoft system administrator. Their team used the opportunity to describe the benefits of their application support model and it has been the right move for our company," said Rick Green, TriWest Healthcare Alliance Chief Information Officer. "TriWest looks forward to building this relationship with Velocity as we continue to gain efficiencies and improve the overall effectiveness of enterprise resource planning (ERP) in our work to serve the health care needs of our nation's Veterans."

The Velocity project team faced a number of challenges. "Few companies run these systems without some kind of customization," said Derek Tomei, Director of the PeopleSoft line of business for Velocity Technology Solutions. "Our team did a first-rate job of acquiring information about the customizations they would require and how those were integrated in their overall business processes, which we also had to research."

Velocity Technology Solutions is an Oracle® Platinum Partner meeting Oracle's stringent requirements for client relationships, skills and expertise with specializations in each product area.
