Robert F. Pack, Ph. D.
Vice Provost at University of Pittsburgh
"Collegiate Project Services, a Cornelius & Associates company, has provided the University of Pittsburgh with extensive and extraordinarily effective project management support for its selection and subsequent implementation of its enterprise student administration system. CPS developed the selection process, guidelines, and criteria, provided the templates for the RFP's, and assisted in the evaluation of responses and subsequent negotiations with the vendor. In intensive discussions with the vendor, Collegiate Project Services developed a highly successful project plan and detailed project budget that has guided a very successful implementation. CPS has provided me personally with invaluable support in my role as project director in all aspects of the implementation process. I recommend this organization most highly for all phases of ERP selection and implementation."

“I am pleased to recommend Collegiate Project Services, a Cornelius & Associates company, as facilitators in the development of a multi-campus, university-wide Information Technology (IT) Strategic Plan…CPS staff's knowledge about higher education and IT issues within this domain became significant assets in the development of the plan…This resulted in a widespread consensus adoption of Miami University's first true IT Strategic Plan…Without the professional support of CPS in communicating the needs and building the consensus, this would not have been possible…I highly recommend this group of professionals to assist any college, university or system in its IT Strategic Plan development, and would be glad to answer specific questions about the quality of their services.”

Director of Administrative Information Services at Virginia Tech University
“Collegiate Project Services, a Cornelius & Associates company,  provided project management guidance for our enterprise system implementation at Virginia Tech, which we estimate saved us thousands of hours in development time over a three-year period. Collegiate Project Services, through the use of project management methodologies and tools, helped to initiate a disciplined and structured focus on key system implementation issues. As a result, we are meeting tight deadlines and building solid credibility within the university community. It was their expertise in change management, however, that probably had the biggest impact on our implementation. We consider their help in getting teams of people to communicate and work together as their most important contribution, and an absolute necessity for any enterprise-wide software implementation.”
