Microsoft Corp. recently
announced it will offer a migration program designed to satisfy the needs of businesses, including state and local governments, that use PeopleSoft technology products. The migration program was developed to help PeopleSoft customers and partners respond to
business challenges resulting from Oracle Corp.'s recent acquisition of PeopleSoft.
The migration program provides migration technology, price discounts on Microsoft Business Solutions software and services, and strategic guidance to help companies migrate to a Microsoft Business Solutions business management application.
"Businesses that use PeopleSoft technology are facing some difficult choices today, and we're committed to providing them with the best options for moving forward," said Doug Burgum, senior vice president at Microsoft.
The new program includes a 25 percent license discount as well as a 25 percent discount for the first year of participation in Microsoft Business Solutions support and enhancement programs. These financial incentives are available no later than June 22, 2005.
