3FUD?
Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt
FUD was first defined by Gene Amdahl after he
left IBM to found his own company, Amdahl "FUD
is the fear, uncertainty, and doubt that IBM
sales people instill in the minds of potential
customers who might be considering Amdahl
products." Eric S. Raymond speaks more about
this in The Jargon File "The idea, of course,
was to persuade buyers to go with safe IBM gear
rather than with competitors' equipment. This
implicit coercion was traditionally accomplished
by promising that Good Things would happen to
people who stuck with IBM, but Dark Shadows
loomed over the future of competitors' equipment
or software. After 1991 the term has become
generalized to refer to any kind of
disinformation used as a competitive weapon."
4So What FUD Is On The Street?
- Oracle is not committed to the higher education
market - Fusion is Confusion
- Fusion will require a re-implementation

26USM Questions
- Why should we upgrade to Fusion?
- What is the Fusion rollout schedule?
- What is the driver for the development of
Fusion? Is it increased functionality in the
apps or simply a new approach to technology? - Will the PeopleSoft Internet Architecture be
replaced? How does Fusion affect the development
toolkit of PS? - Will we have to buy new hardware?
- Will we need to change/upgrade my database?
What is the Oracle stance on support for SQL
server? - What does "end-of life" for PeopleSoft products
really mean? - What commitment will Oracle make to assure that
the transition to Fusion is more of an upgrade
than a completely new implementation? - Will Oracle actively support the Higher Ed
Users Group? Will Oracle continue to support a
separate higher education annual conference? - What input will clients have in the discussion
of which functionalities will go into Fusion from
PeopleSoft and Oracle apps?
27Questions
- What kind of communication mechanisms will Oracle
have in place to keep clients up to date on its
decision making in this area? - Where is the official place to learn about
Fusion? www.oracle.com/peoplesoft/index. - Are there any higher ed institutions signed on to
be a Beta Site? Who are they? What is their
implementation schedule? - Can we see the Product documentation, a
demonstration of the Fusion system before we pay
for it? - If the development of Fusion products takes
longer than anticipated, what adjustments will be
made to the PeopleSoft product retirement
schedule for 8.9/9.0? Will there be an upgrade
path from 8.9 directly to Fusion without going to
9.0? - What commitment will the institutions have to
make in terms of staffing, costs, timelines,
readiness, etc? When will we know what impacts
this transition will have on institutional
budgets? - Will we need consultants to assist me?
- When can our people be trained, and what training
do they need? Functional? Technical? - What product set is Oracle currently selling to
the Higher Education Market?
28So What FUD Is On The Street?
- Oracle is not committed to the higher education
market - Education is one of the Top 10 strategic
industries for Oracle - Dedicated industry focus teams in development
marketing and sales - Dedicated product development organizationlargest
in Oracle - Industry-specific leads in product strategy
- Executive Advisory Boardonly industry in Oracle
with this level of influence - Clear Process for Customer Input to Product
- Product Advisory Groups
- Product Advisory Councils
- Executive Advisory Board
29So What FUD Is On The Street?
- Fusion is Confusion
- Its a new technology and a new paradigm, we have
a track record of bringing our customers along to
the latest technology with 80 in eBusiness suite
customers on the latest release. - 10 years ago higher education was slowly
accepting the fact that client server technology
was NOT risky Bleeding Edge technology. Oracle
will continue to provide our customer with
advance business solutions supporting by proven
Leading Edge technology driven by market,
competition and technical advances. - We are providing more insight into our technology
and development plans than any other vendor at
the risk or sharing proprietary and competitive
knowledge
30So What FUD Is On The Street?
- Fusion will require a re-implementation
- Oracle is committed and has a proven track record
of providing upgrade paths successfully migrating
our clients to the most current technology
release - Oracle has adopted PeopleSoft Total Ownership
Experience program which lead to - 40 Less time for vanilla application upgrades
- 25 Less time for customized application upgrades
- 80 Fewer steps to apply maintenance updates
- 34 Fewer incoming calls per customer
- 44 Less time to resolve and close support cases
