Oracle Details PeopleSoft Product Roadmap

Oracle unveiled the combined Oracle and PeopleSoft product roadmap and support plans in "Project Fusion.” Oracle stated it retained approximately 90 percent of PeopleSoft's development and support team to ensure continuity for PeopleSoft Enterprise, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and JD Edwards World products. The "Project Fusion" architecture will leverage Oracle technology.
This estimated release timeline was provided:+ PeopleSoft Enterprise 8.9 will be completed in 2005+ Oracle E-Business Suite 12 (2006)+ PeopleSoft Enterprise 9 (2006)+ JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 8.12 (2006)+ Ongoing JD Edwards World enhancements+ Project Fusion data hubs and transaction bases in 2006+ Initial "Project Fusion" applications available in 2007+ "Project Fusion" applications suite delivery in 2008
Support milestones include:+ Oracle will provide support for the PeopleSoft Enterprise, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and JD Edwards World product lines through at least 2013+ Oracle is extending JD Edwards EnterpriseOne XE and 8.0 support to February 2007+ For PeopleSoft's other products and versions, including JD Edwards World, Oracle has adopted PeopleSoft's current retirement policies+ Oracle will also continue to maintain currently supported hardware platforms, databases and operating systems.
Sid Snitkin, VP, ARC Advisory Group, commented, "Telephone lines and web connections were jammed by over 17,000 people for the recent Oracle event where they announced these plans for the merged company. This is testament to the size of the customer base that could be up for grabs if Peoplesoft and JD Edwards customers lose confidence in the future viability of their investments. Product support and product roadmaps are central to maintaining confidence and Oracle has done an excellent job in laying out a solid plan to address both of these issues."
Mr. Snitkin continued, "Most customers seem to be satisfied for now to continue their journey with Oracle. But the clear challenge is to maintain this confidence boost by delivering on promises and continuing to reinforce the message that the merged company is the way to get to the best destinations. The Oracle train will pass through many stations and there are competitors waiting at each stop with enticing alternatives."
