About Us

The Phire Story

Originally conceived in early 2005, Phire was officially founded as a Virginia-based corporation in 2007 by a team of seasoned ERP implementation experts. Their vision was straightforward: to deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions for managing enterprise applications. Backed by a combined 35 years of experience in software development and delivery, the founders understood a fundamental truth of ERP implementations—change is the only constant.

"change is the only constant"

Through their direct experience with the complexities of large-scale ERP systems, the founders recognized the need for a comprehensive application to track and manage all the change activities. This included incident management, code version control, and change request management, including approvals, testing, and other critical controls. Just as important, the solution needed to be scalable, enterprise-ready, and fully integrated to address all of these requirements within a single platform.

OUR SKILLS AND CAPABILITIES

The Technology

The founders believed that if PeopleSoft customers were already heavily invested in the platform’s technical architecture and integrated PeopleTools development environment, it was only logical to build a solution that manages changes to PeopleSoft applications using those same technologies. This strategy would allow customers to leverage their existing infrastructure and capitalize on their in-house technical, development, and support expertise. As a result, the decision was made to begin developing an Application Change Management solution built entirely on PeopleTools.

The Solution

In 2005, Phire finalized the initial development of Phire ACM™ - a scalable, enterprise-grade Application Change Management suite built with PeopleTools. This powerful solution provides version control for both files and PeopleTools objects, while also automating code migrations. Since Phire is developed using PeopleTools, it seamlessly mirrors the look and feel of a native PeopleSoft application, making it easier to support and adopt across your organization. The result is a cost-effective change management solution that can be implemented in weeks rather than months.
