“Oracle’s commitment to PeopleSoft applications would be primarily for maintenance and bug fixes. ‘As far as new enhancements, functions, and modules we may be thinking about over the next two years, those are going to show up in [Oracle’s] E-Business Suite,’ Chuck Phillips [EVP, Oracle] said.”

• If you object to converting PeopleSoft enterprise software applications to Oracle

• If you object to the millions or tens of millions of dollars that would cost

• If you object to the internal resources and time required to do that

• If you object to being forced to switch to an inferior product you specifically didn’t select

• If you object to replacing software that is working well and achieving your return on investment

• If you would like to select a database independent of your enterprise software

• If you believe there should be more than two integrated application software providers for large enterprises

Don’t let this happen. Take action.
