TEAM BUILDING The ERP team that executed the Centers for Medicare Services (CMS) Enterprise Architecture platform achieved a major milestone earlier this spring – live deployment of our customer’s new platform. In celebration, the team joined together for a fun outing at TopGolf. ERP Vice President for Client Delivery, Gary Clement, said, “Team ERP and DEA faced a great deal of challenges along the way. But we, as a team, finally made it happen, and we are very proud of what we have achieved together.” This impressive feat took a previous competitor five years to accomplish, and team ERP’s solutions were under 9 months. Way to go! ERP International teams raised money to support our veterans for the charity event at Baltimore Station’s Inaugural Topgolf Baltimore Fundraiser on April 13th. ERP is proud to be a continued Friend of the Station and to help support their mission to fight homelessness amongst our nation's veterans.
