It's Shocking!!!

The number of companies that spend a ton of money on high availability software that just doesn't cut it. Objects don't stay synchronized, systems bog down, switchovers are difficult, and the expense is enormous.

by Alex Woodie

About 12 years ago, Ira Chandler wrote the industry's first credit card transaction processing software that ran natively on OS/400.

PeopleSoft Rolls Out a Host of New EnterpriseOne Applications
by Alex Woodie

While the hostile takeover bid by Oracle continues to hang over PeopleSoft like a dark cloud, it didn't deter the Pleasanton, California, company from going ahead and making a slew of EnterpriseOne announcements at the APICS conference last week. There are more than 250 new features in the former J.D.
