A: 

PeopleSoft, Inc. - A Human Approach PeopleSoft founders Dave Duffield and Ken Morris felt that there was a need for a software application that could manage all aspects of organizational Human Relations departments, from recruitment to retirement. Managing the payroll, benefits, travel, expenses, and vacation of all employees was the key focus of the first PeopleSoft product, which was released in 1987. [1] At the time, the mainframe-computing environment was the primary architecture of many organizations. However, PeopleSoft's application was built for the client-server platform, with all data stored on a host computer. End users had access to the data through the local applications installed on a desktop; however, maintenance of client computers was time- and money- intensive.

Future of PeopleSoft : As PeopleSoft incorporates the many components of a full enterprise management system, the company is looking to compete with SAP and Oracle in this market. Currently, PeopleSoft, Inc. has 8,000 employees worldwide and $1.7 billion total revenue. Craig Conway, a protégé of Oracle Corporation's CEO Larry Ellison, has broadened the scope of PeopleSoft and created a major competitor to Oracle and SAP in the ERP market. Many feel that PeopleSoft will become an even larger player in the ERP market in the coming years. 40% of PeopleSoft's revenue currently comes from international sources, with additional countries' sales still rising.
