Aspire Consulting

What Aspire Consulting does

Aspire Consulting is a privately held IT consulting firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. It provides functional, technical, and project delivery services to enterprise organizations that operate Oracle and Workday enterprise software, with primary depth in Oracle PeopleSoft (HCM, FSCM), Oracle Cloud applications (HCM Cloud, ERP Cloud, SCM Cloud), Oracle Taleo, and Oracle Business Intelligence / Oracle Analytics Cloud. The firm complements implementation, upgrade, integration, and application support engagements with a managed services offering bound by SLAs and a targeted training practice covering PeopleSoft Query and nVision.

Its business model is a traditional professional services model: engagements are scoped and priced individually based on consultant expertise, project duration, and scope, with billings tied to multi-year contracts. All consultants are US-based with an average of 20 years of experience, and each engagement is assigned a dedicated quality assurance manager. The firm is a long-standing Oracle Partner and uses that channel alongside direct enterprise sales and an annual conference series (St. Louis Oracle Cloud User Conference since 2023, Boston Oracle PeopleSoft Executive Event launched for 2026) to generate demand.

The firm has 1-10 employees, leadership comprising Managing Partner John Kovac, Partner Charles Stegeman, Executive Director Lisa Kovac, and Manager Randy Stone. Its customer base spans healthcare (BJC HealthCare), manufacturing, communications, medical services, and public relations industries, with named testimonials indicating multi-year expansions from project-level work to strategic partnerships. No external funding, acquisitions, patents, or proprietary AI assets are disclosed.
