Redefines Portal Technology, Demonstrates Solutions’ Success

Auckland — August 29, 2001 — Extending its product innovation in portals, PeopleSoft Inc. (Nasdaq: PSFT) today announced the PeopleSoft CFO Portal. The new CFO Portal provides a single point of access to financial performance required by both finance and business managers.

PeopleSoft’s CFO Portal solution, the industry’s first web-based, financial portal, is able to integrate a company’s financial information with customised analytics and external content.
