2014 Cloud Investigation• Disclaimer• “We are investigating options as a matter of due diligence.

That is, we have no indication from [the CFO, the CIO, or the Managing Director of OIT Core Services] that they are interested in moving away from PeopleSoft, and we ourselves see no pressing need either. Rather, our assignment is to get a fresh update about alternatives to current solutions, including a rough idea of costs/benefits/time that would be involved in moving to an alternative.”
