Company
Apexguide, Inc. is a boutique Oracle consultancy specializing in securing Oracle Cloud, including Fusion applications (ERP, HCM, SCM, CX), PaaS, and OCI.
We work with organizations who either use or are moving to use Oracle Cloud applications and supporting products. "Securing" can mean different things to different people, however at Apexguide, our philosophy is that "seeded" or "out of the box" security roles should never be used, and supporting identity and access processes (IAM), including the full "joiners, movers, leavers" lifecycle should be automated to the optimal extent. We have helped organizations secure their Oracle environments by using custom security roles, aligned to business processes and audit requirements, and automated IAM processes, including the use of products such as Okta, Azure, SailPoint, and CyberArk.
We provide both consulting and staffing services, including ad-hoc reviews, implementation projects, and specialized "business as usual" staff augmentation. See our Services page for more information.
Apexguide is led by Matt Nease. Matt has been working in the Oracle security and controls workspace as both a customer and a consultant, including Big 4 and boutique consultancies, for over a decade, and has helped organizations implement and maintain processes and procedures to "get clean" and "stay clean". Matt has led security and controls workstreams in many Oracle Fusion Cloud implementations, and has architected innovative security and identity solutions. He is a frequent contributor to the Oracle Security community and has been recognized as part of Oracle's ACE program.Â
A note from Matt: "Early in my consulting career, a leader of mine said "staffing a project is like the NFL draft." This means that while you target the "best and the brightest" for your team, sometimes you make do with what you can get and who is available. The reality is that traditional consulting firms sell a project and worry about staffing later. Sometimes it works out just fine, and sometimes it doesn't. At Apexguide, if we can't help you with the best, then we don't take on the project, and we will refer you to a trusted alternative that can; it's that simple."
