| So a small summary, I know its a lot to read:
-$400 Million for ALL Cal states over 7 years.
-There has been signifigent intergration errors with the system with other school districts.
-$60 Million of that is for the hosting of it, which is in Salt Lake City. (Out of State.)
Some sidenotes I'd like to through in:
-Peoplesoft is written in Java.
-Oracle (stock value: ~$50 Billion) is trying to hastily buy out PeopleSoft for $7.7 Billion in cash.
The most disturbing thing to me is the fact that its written in Java! I'd like an expert on the matter to comment, but Java has always been a slow language in my opinon as a programmer of other languages. Current websearch information is showing it to be one fifth the speed of "C++ .NET" applications. Down with Java! |
