Yeah. In the long run it should save 60 million a year or so it seems. But I mean, at what expense of time and effort and such?
And you got a good point! A lot of these decisions were made BEFORE the budget crisis came, so it might not have been such a bad decision to spend so much money at THAT time; and now that they're committed... all is well.
The new system removes a lot of the older more redundant systems that were in place, it sounds like the peoplesoft system replaces almost all electronic systems on campus dealing with human resources, and money and the like.
