Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

PeopleSoft's supplier relationship management (SRM) suite continues to be sold, supported, and enhanced, notwithstanding Oracle's acquisition of the software company. Since the acquisition, Oracle has enhanced PeopleSoft's eSourcing products by importing much of the functionality that Oracle has been adding to its own product. As a result, the PeopleSoft SRM product is a very competitive one, which scored nearly as well as Oracle's in terms of current offering. Strengths of PeopleSoft include supplier discovery and assessment and RFx and reverse auctions. Spend analysis was the major weakness. Surprisingly, PeopleSoft scored higher than Oracle in spend activity management. In terms of features, integration is good, globalization is very good, but hosting options are very limited. Oracle's strategy for the PeopleSoft products is to continue to sell them to the PeopleSoft installed base and ultimately migrate both sets of products to the new, SOA-based Project Fusion architecture in 2007 and 2008.
