Issues revolving around People Soft and ERP

People Soft ERP is software that helps organizations to handle their H.R. functions easily. PeopleSoft ERP has helped companies in achieving path breaking practices and highly acclaimed professional way of managing human resources. Apart from all it has reduced costs and time take.

People soft continues be to the ERP software demanded highly in the market for H.R. operations. The collusion between people soft and oracle has given rise to many issues.

Some of them are as follows

Controversies

The acquisition of People soft by Oracle has given rise to lots of controversies in the market. At one end customers are now convinced that they are able to make use of both facilities at an imaginable price. On the other hand it has sent shock waves to Oracle customers who are now questioning the ethics behind allowing People soft ERP customers to use the features and as well enjoy the benefits of oracle ERP software programs. They allege that the merger has brought more benefits to the later than the former. This is not to deny the additional facilities offered in PeopleSoft ERP solutions and Product Offerings.

Another challenging task lies for the personnel from people soft. They have to answer an important question. How is the product going to be projected in the market? Is it going to have the tag of people soft or will it be sold under the banner of both or will it be a mix of the two. Another issue is that other big players in the market are also launching on a war footing to purchase the remaining applications in People soft. Infact some of them have already started to do them.

The customers of Oracle have to be convinced at any cost so that it does not reflect on the internal elements. This is imperative as a large number of them have expressed dissatisfaction either directly or indirectly. The company needs to exercise enough caution in seeing to that it does not snowball into a clamor which would otherwise defeat the purpose of this long tem plan. One possible alternative will be to charge people soft customers for using the services of Oracle. Now this will add to the agony of People soft customers. Oracle cannot afford to ignore by saying that their applications have been purchased and that they have no other choice. Some step should be taken to draw a line to make both ends meet. Whatsoever is the plan of action it will cost heavily on the company and they must be prepared to face them without any crunches.

It is not possible to sell the products under any other tag other than peoplesoftoracle. This will also clarify the answers to the earlier question but in a different angle. Oracle must develop core competencies by making use of the already purchased ERP applications so that they can solve all the three troubles not excluding facing the competitor and the acquisition of people soft products by business rivals. This is not a trivial task and the times will definitely get tougher for oracle in balancing these issues in a subtle manner.

Should companies change the way of doing business

This is purely at the discretion of the company and the related factors (as usual). However companies first need to analyze their state of business before and after the people soft Oracle juggle. Companies need to have a look at the internal factors if they are convinced that the deal does not have any impact on them. On the other hand the companies should look at external factors if the deal is reported to have a considerable influence on them. If companies are able to analyze on this basis it will help them in deciding if they should go for a change or not. Such changes have to be made or rejected after considering the nuances of PeopleSoft ERP solutions and Product Offerings.

ORACLE'S stand

They are keen on purchasing the people soft customers in addition to the software. The efforts taken in this context are indeed laudable. They have been trying to impress on the fact that they are prepared to satisfy all the customers of People soft. This deserves appreciation because they have boldly taken up this step which no others will think twice before executing. The reason is that they care for all the customers irrespective of the size and volume of the business. PeopleSoft ERP solutions and Product Offerings are designed to meet these requirements.

Other alternatives

Companies that are currently using PeopleSoft ERP can customize their operations and make it Oracle friendly too. This would seem to be a good option for them when compared with the procedure of revamping the configuration and making way for the whole system to be under the influence of oracle. The former will require more manipulation and lesser monetary investments. The later will require lots of money in addition to introducing changes in handling software and rewriting programs and source codes. Besides it is bound to consume lot of time and efforts. While both alternatives have their own merits and setbacks it is also important to understand that any choice made will reflect on the performance of the company. Hence they company should exercise maximum care in dealing with this.
