Patrice,
Since we're in the middle of a PeopleSoft implementation I can say that I agree with the comments in the articles. If you buy one of these prebuilt packages you have the problem of either re-inventing your business or trying to modify the package to meet your requirements. Option 1 is troublesome at best since you may well have to re-orientate people and practices from years of what they were use to. Ugly to say the least. Now option 2 is more like skating on paper thin ice. PeopleSoft is 'modifiable' but there are a lot of other ramifications that one has to think about, like upgrades. The closer to 'plain vanilla' you can stay the better. The farther away you get, the less the vendor supports you and the harder (and longer) upgrades become. SAP and Oracle do not lend themselves to modification. SAP just because those Germans know best (so I've been told by those with experience) and Oracle because it just plain does not fit. What are people doing, PeopleSoft or else roll your own. Now Oracle does make a decent tool set for the later in Designer and Developer. Personally I would prefer that they drop the apps and concentrate on the tools and database.

If people aren't using SAP, Oracle Applications or PeopleSoft, what are they using?
PlumTree portals? Is that what they mean by Web services?

I think this is good news, Oracle accepting these user groups.
It's probably the most cost-efficient, effective way for Oracle to get honest feedback on how to improve their products.
The better their products, the more successful they will be it seems to me.
