OSI Consulting Performs Strategic Acquisition,
Expanding Services Reach and Expertise
EML Brings PeopleSoft and Public Sector Strength to OSI Consulting

Woodland Hills, CA – (April 23, 2007) - OSI Consulting, Inc. recently announced the expansion of OSI Consulting Canada, Ltd. with the acquisition of EML, Inc.  Based in Ottawa, Ontario, EML, now a wholly owned subsidiary of OSI Consulting, has been providing expert technology consulting services to the Canadian federal government for over a decade. With a specific focus on PeopleSoft HR applications, EML has served a number of departments across the government with a full range of services including strategic planning, upgrades, and implementations of PeopleSoft HRMS. This acquisition strengthens OSI’s already firm hold in the Oracle space in North America.

 “As a leading Oracle implementation partner in Canada, the addition of an established PeopleSoft practice enables us to parallel Oracle’s product strategy,” said OSI Consulting Canada President Scott Harden. “Additionally, the combination of OSI and EML’s experiences and solutions enables us to more readily provide solutions to the public sector while providing an expanded presence across Canada.”

Oracle acquired PeopleSoft in 2005 to help customers achieve unprecedented levels of business efficiencies and competitiveness by delivering solutions that reduce complexity while lowering cost. The result has enabled Oracle to accelerate innovation and expanded the company’s solution portfolio to include the best of breed functionality for enterprise customers.

For the last 10 years, EML has been known for having specialized experience with the Government of Canada version of PeopleSoft HRMS.  With continued focus on the public sector, EML will also pursue new opportunities in Eastern Canada within commercial industries. “We are now able to leverage OSI’s scale and experience to provide even more offerings to serve our customers within the Canadian government as well as extend our reach into the private sector,” said Lisa Smith, EML’s President. With the acquisition, Smith also now manages Eastern Canada operations and the PeopleSoft practice for OSI.
