PeopleSoft EnterpriseOne

Customers Benefit from Open Standards Technology and Greater Platform Choice

PeopleSoft, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSFT) today announced that PeopleSoft® EnterpriseOne will support Red Hat Linux. PeopleSoft EnterpriseOne customers that choose to run their applications on Linux can reduce their total cost of ownership by providing an open source, secure and stable operating system.

PeopleSoft EnterpriseOne will support Red Hat Linux for its Human Capital Management, Supply Chain Management, Supplier Relationship Management, Financial Management, Asset Lifecycle Management and Project Management applications.

Support for Red Hat Linux is currently available for the PeopleSoft Enterprise family of applications.

“Across New Zealand, Australia and the rest of Asia Pacific and Japan, organisations are looking for choice – choice of hardware, software, database and operating system,” said Ray Kloss, Director Product and Industry Marketing PeopleSoft, Japan and Asia Pacific. “Coupling the richness of functionality that the PeopleSoft EnterpriseOne product family offers, with support for Linux provides customers with a compelling lower total cost of ownership, especially for those smaller and medium-sized businesses.”
