We will take care of the regular management and upgrading and ensure the application is
operational. This frees you up to concentrate on the effective use of the system within your
organization. Thanks to our extensive experience with implementations for a wide variety of
PeopleSoft clients, linked to our dimensions of scale and standardization, we can achieve cost
advantages while still improving quality.
New versions of the application and/or the underlying architecture will automatically be made
available to you, ensuring that you are always fully up to date, both functionally and technically.
Even in the Cloud, it still remains your system. The ‘Private Cloud Concept’ assumes the
identical security and integration possibilities enjoyed by the traditional solutions you would
normally expect on your own hardware in your own computing suite. The computing centers,
as is MCX, are all ISO 27001 certified. In addition, MCX is ISAE 3402 Type II certified, meaning
that you are assured of a Cloud solution which meets with the very highest security demands.
ABOUT EPICENTER AND MCX
Epicenter and MCX are both Oracle Gold Partners and have been for more than 15 years.
Benefit from the advantages of our joint knowledge and expertise.
ABOUT EPICENTER
Epicenter (www.epicenter.eu) has been the home of the true PeopleSoft ERP products
specialists since 1997. Epicenter contributed to the most important PeopleSoft
implementations in the Netherlands and Belgium (including PeopleSoft Human
Resources, Campus Solutions and PeopleSoft Financials). The company’s mission is to
combine functional expertise with in-depth knowledge of the PeopleTools development
environment, while keeping a close eye on the optimal balance between price and
productivity/quality. Many clients have outsourced the management of their PeopleSoft
system to Epicenter. Among other things this means that even during the start-up phase,
all aspects of efficient management and simple upgrades have already been considered.
ABOUT MCX
MCX (www.mcx.nl) was founded in 1999 and has since grown in stature to become the
market leader in the Benelux region in the field of hosting and technical management
of Oracle applications. For many organizations, the technical management of Oracle
applications has become too specialist to maintain ‘in-house’. Keeping up to date with
the required knowledge can be problematic and finding and retaining the appropriate
staff to perform the management is extremely difficult. We offer these organizations all
the required knowledge and capacity in one easy package. Our approach offers flexibility,
allowing us to provide you with the proper solution; rapidly.
MCX is ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, NEN 7510 and ISAE 3402 Type II certified,
which is the guarantee to our clients that all our processes are documented in a highquality system enabling the company to trace, address and prevent problems as quickly as
possible. We believe in minimizing risks by collaboration and in maximizing the return on
investment with tools and approaches cut to the specific demands of our clients.
