PeopleSoft's Latest Analytics Suite a Fusion Showcase

PeopleSoft Planning and Budgeting now integrates with PeopleSoft Workforce Rewards and PeopleSoft Human Capital Management. As a result, the application is now able to offer compensation planning. This new application supports the modeling of different compensation scenarios and "what if" analysis of compensation requirements.

Tighter Integration
Tighter integration linkages among the various applications in the EPM suite -- which in some cases has yielded additional applications or value-add functionality -- is a key feature of the upgrades, Leone said.
PeopleSoft Planning and Budgeting, for instance, now integrates with PeopleSoft Workforce Rewards and PeopleSoft Human Capital Management. As a result, the application is now able to offer compensation planning. This new application supports the modeling of different compensation scenarios and "what if" analysis of compensation requirements. A user can access data from either or both Workforce Rewards and Human Capital Management as they experiment with these scenarios.
PeopleSoft EPM 9 also deepens the integration between PeopleSoft Global Consolidations, another application in EPM that consolidates financial data from disparate sources, and PeopleSoft Internal Controls Enforcer.
New control diagnostics for setup, segregation of duties and security access in Global Consolidations 9 can monitor the controls inherent in organizations' financial control and reporting operations, the company explained.

PeopleSoft founder targets Oracle with new company

PeopleSoft founder Dave Duffield, who lost the software maker in a hostile takeover by Oracle Corp, returned to the industry on Monday with a new company looking to challenge his larger rival.
Workday Inc., funded mainly by Duffield, will offer Web-based software that helps companies automate their human resources systems in a bid to take advantage of growing demand for applications delivered over the Internet.
The company will compete in the so-called human capital management software market led by Oracle and SAP AG of Germany that AMR Research estimates at about $6 billion.
Duffield said Workday is partly a reincarnation of PeopleSoft and he noted his decision to return to the industry began during his battle with Oracle when he came out of retirement to try to save his former company.
"We worked hard to keep PeopleSoft out of the clutches of Oracle," he told a news conference. "While Oracle prevailed it offered someone a chance to take a fresh approach to solving business problems."
Paul Hamerman, an analyst at Forrester Research, said Workday will eventually target those large Oracle and SAP customers frustrated with owning software that is often expensive to buy and difficult to maintain.
He also said Duffield brings immediate credibility, a team of industry veterans and a product based on a hot technology to his new company.
"He has tremendous credibility in the industry and a team of veterans with him," Hamerman said. "Ultimately, he is targeting the large on-premise ERP software vendors."
Initially, the company will target businesses employing 1,000 to 5,000 workers with revenue ranging from $200 million to $1 billion, said Workday co-founder and former PeopleSoft board member Aneel Bhusri.
But Workday will look to expand its offerings beyond those targeting human resources to take on Oracle and SAP in the wider market for business software aimed at large corporations, he added.
"Our goal is to be a supplier to Fortune 500 companies just like we were at PeopleSoft," Bhusri said in a telephone interview. "In the long run, two to three years, we will compete against Oracle and SAP.
Workday marks Duffield's return to a consolidating software industry where Oracle has spent $20 billion over the last two year buying its rivals, including PeopleSoft.
Oracle launched a bitter takeover battle for PeopleSoft in June 2003. Eventually Duffield resigned in December 2004 after PeopleSoft's board accepted Oracle's $10.3 billion offer.
Duffield's new company is looking to fast-growing companies like Salesforce.com and RightNow Technologies as examples of demand for Web-based software that for many businesses is often easier to use and maintain that traditional installed software.
Web-delivered software will grow to 25 percent of business software revenue in 2011 from 5 percent in 2005, according to technology research firm Gartner.
"Salesforce is the poster child for how successful on-demand can be," Bhusri said. "They have really whet the appetite for people who want on-demand for (business planning software)."

PeopleSoft version 9





Oracle released PeopleSoft Enterprise application Version 9

Oracle, which secured a $10.3 billion
buyout of PeopleSoft in January 2005, has told its customers it would continue to support the products from its former competitor.

The new release is integrated with Oracle's
Fusion Middleware, a portfolio of server software that allows applications from different vendors to interoperate. The integration allows better use of other Oracle technologies including XML Publisher, Business Activity Monitoring and Customer Data Hub, the company said.

Oracle said the version 9 release adds features related to corporate governance and compliance, CRM (customer relationship management) improvements for customer service agents, and enterprise-level planning. The company also expanded capabilities for areas such as the public sector, health care, financial services, communications, and higher education.
Oracle appointed a new general manager, Doris Wong, to run its PeopleSoft Enterprise wing, a move it said would centralize leadership and development of the product. Wong spent 11 years at PeopleSoft, Oracle said.

PeopleSoft was one Oracle's highest profile acquisitions intended to help it compete better with business applications market leader SAP. It also gobbled up
Siebel Systems and J.D. Edwards, sparking concerns over the fate of those vendors' product lines. But Oracle officials have pledged to move forward with new product releases, including Siebel's version 8 line and version 12 of Oracle's own CRM software.

Oracle executives recently offered some details of how its various application suites will be merged into the forthcoming Fusion family. Siebel's software, seen as one of the strongest CRM offerings in the industry, will be used as the core, to be merged with the best functions and design elements donated from Oracle's E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft CRM and JD Edwards CRM.
Oracle has stressed that Fusion will be developed with an eye toward the SOA model, working with standards such as BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) and XML (Extensible Markup Language).
