University sues Peoplesoft

University sues Peoplesoft: "PEOPLESOFT has been sued for alleged fraud by Ohio State for its role in a software project at Cleveland State University.

The state wants more than $130 million because Peoplesoft 'misrepresented the capabilities of its software and failed to provide promised features'.

Peoplesoft was chosen by the state for the revamp of the universities its student administration systems in 1996.

But the University was less than impressed with Peoplesoft as some of the features pushed by sales people turned out to be 'little more than vapourware' and that the programs had trouble administering student financial aid, keeping student records in synch and running properly on the IBM DB/2 database.

The state has also sued Peoplesoft's supplier Kaludis Consulting Group, a Washington-based consulting firm, for failing to fulfil its contractual duties. ?"
