Minardi Consulting Group

What Minardi Consulting Group does

Minardi Consulting Group (MCG) is a private, US-headquartered professional services firm founded in 1992 by Rocco Minardi that specializes exclusively in Oracle JD Edwards World and EnterpriseOne ERP consulting. The firm serves mid-market and enterprise customers across manufacturing, wholesale distribution, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, life sciences, consumer goods, automotive, financial services, and technology, claiming to have supported hundreds of customers with senior consultants based in the USA and Europe. Core service lines include full-cycle implementation, upgrade (notably aligned to Oracle's UPTO methodology), World-to-EnterpriseOne migration, technical and functional consulting, staff augmentation, and specialized UX One, UDO, and Orchestrator services delivered in partnership with SpringboardUX. The consulting bench is anchored by senior practitioners with a minimum of 20 years of hands-on JD Edwards experience, many of whom are former Oracle/JD Edwards employees.

The underlying technology MCG delivers is Oracle JD Edwards itself rather than proprietary software, supplemented by MCG's own add-on modules (MCG ATP, Promise Management, Lot Management) and a curated ecosystem of partner products (SpringboardUX e-learning, Magic xpi integration, ALLOut Security, ARCTOOLS, ReportsNow, Hubble, Cloud Inventory/DSI, Concur). The firm's Core differentiator is its Customization Estate Review methodology, which categorizes legacy customizations as no longer required, redundant, replaceable with UDOs, or replaceable with Orchestrations, reducing upgrade testing time and retrofitting cost. Revenue is generated purely through professional services (project-based, staff augmentation, and specialized UDO/Orchestrator engagements), with no public pricing, no software licensing, and no self-service product.

The go-to-market is sales-led and partner-amplified: direct outreach, website contact forms, event participation (JD Edwards InFocus, Cloud Applications Week), free UDO webinars, and a content/blog presence on minardigroup.com/tip, with lead flow reinforced through the Oracle Partner Network and SpringboardUX co-marketing. Customers are acquired from the JD Edwards installed base, with relationship-driven referrals from long-tenured clients and a network of cross-referring partners including Velocity, DWS, ALLOut, ARCTOOLS, ReportsNow, Hubble, Magic Software, DSI/Cloud Inventory, and SAP Concur.
