How We Met?
Founded by Tammie Berghuis and Peter Hunt in 2008, Berghuis & Hunt quickly became one of the largest boutique Oracle Applications consulting companies in Minnesota. While we are still considered the go-to company in Minnesota for Oracle ERP, as our company has grown so have our service offerings. Today we provide program leadership technical and functional consulting services to support our clients’ digital transformation efforts across a variety of ERP, CRM, and HCM platforms and solutions. When you’re implementing packaged software or cloud-based solutions, and want to integrate it all together, Berghuis & Hunt can provide trusted, experienced, and knowledgeable technical and functional consultants to supplement your resources.
Peter Hunt
Peter Hunt
Peter has worked in consulting since 1998. Over the years, he has garnered the reputation for being a great listener and providing effective solutions to his clients. Peter has built a large network over the years, his ability to leverage this network is what sets him apart from his peers. It allows him to match consultants with clients not only from a skills and experience perspective, but also taking into account company cultures, management styles, work styles and personalities.
In 2002, Peter started Hunt Professional Services. This was right after the dotcom bust and in the middle of a significant recession in the tech industry. It was at this time that he first met Tammie Berghuis, who was the Executive Director of IT at Valspar. Tammie needed an economical solution to upgrade their Oracle ERP Software
President
After meeting with Valspar, Peter assembled a team of consultants to provide Valspar the expertise on 11i that they lacked in-house. The project was completed in six months and led to Valspar rolling out 11i across their enterprise.
Peter founded Berghuis & Hunt, Inc. with Tammie Berghuis in 2009. Initially Berghuis & Hunt was focused on the local market and Oracle ERP implementation. Over the years, we’ve expanded nationally and become a trusted advisor to our clients when they need assistance with any type of third party software integration or digital transformation.
Peter Young
Director of Sales
Peter Young
Peter’s extensive experience in the IT consulting industry spans over 25 years of selling and delivering for Global and Minnesota based IT consulting firms. During that time, he has developed the reputation for delivering the right IT solution or consultant for his customers by actively listening to understand the business requirements and culture, ensuring the IT service solves the customer’s specific challenges. Peter’s extensive experience serving clients across a broad spectrum of sizes and industries reflects his adaptability and expertise in addressing diverse needs and challenges. From Fortune 100 companies to mid-market enterprises and small businesses, Peter has demonstrated his ability to tailor IT consulting services to meet the specific requirements of each client, regardless of their size or industry. These IT consulting services include enterprise software (Oracle, Salesforce, SAP, Workday), Program and Project Management, Business Intelligence, Enterprise Architecture, IT outsourcing and commercial software development.
Peter began leading, selling and delivering professional services in 1994 when he was the upper Midwest region manager for an agriculture services firm. There he was responsible for selling, recruiting, building and leading the business operations of 1000 seasonal labor employees across 5 states. To be successful in delivering professional services, Peter learned early in his career that it is critical to “find the right person the first time”, especially with seasonal management and labor. Peter was seeking a more dynamic services industry so he jumped into Information Technology in 1996 as an Account Manager at Talent Software Services, a Minneapolis based consulting firm that focused on Oracle ERP, Database, Custom Development, and BI consulting. This is where he met Peter Hunt.
When Peter Hunt met Peter Young at Talent Software Services, they soon realized that they had a couple of things in common: a commitment to customer service and the need to truly understand the details of how business and technology really work.
Said Peter Hunt, “When I first started recruiting, Peter Young would always ask me a ton of questions about each candidate I presented. When other sales reps just wanted to get any sort of resume in front of a client, Peter was emphatic that the candidates he presented to his customers really were the right fit. When I didn’t know the answers to his questions, Peter would make me go back and get them before he’d send the resume on to the client. He always understood not only the technology needs of his customers, but the business needs that were driving them.”
When Berghuis & Hunt needed to hire their first dedicated Account Manager in 2013, it was a big decision. There are many sales people in the IT consulting industry who float around from company to company just trying to make a quick buck. That doesn’t work for a company that focuses on building relationships that span decades. We needed to find someone who had the same core values as Peter Hunt and Tammie Berghuis. Peter has since been promoted to lead sales for Berghuis & Hunt by following the mantra of the firm: fully understand the needs of your client, find the right person with the skills and personality to fit that organization’s needs, and continue to follow through on customer service for the long term.
