Ellison commits to upgrades of PeopleSoft JDE apps

摘要

Redwood City, Calif. - Oracle CEO Larry Ellison began a campaign here to assure PeopleSoft customers that the money they've sunk into their applications hasn't disappeared with his company's purchase of PeopleSoft. "We're going to preserve your investment in J.D. Edwards products, in PeopleSoft products and in Oracle products" to 2013, Ellison told customers and industry analysts here. He promised the company will continue to develop J.D. Edwards World 8.11 to version 8.12, finish developing PeopleSoft Enterprise 8,9 and complete version 9.0, and develop a new release of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS). In addition, the company will create a successor product to EBS with a merged feature set from all three applications. "We can do both," he maintained. "We have the wherewithal to develop all three lines while developing a successor merged product."
