AGENDA • Introductions • Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt • The Journey to Project Fusion • What is Project Fusion? • The Plans – Clearing up the Confusion • What This Means for You • Questions and Answers

FUD? Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt FUD was first defined by Gene Amdahl after he left IBM to found his own company, Amdahl: "FUD is the fear, uncertainty, and doubt that IBM sales people instill in the minds of potential customers who might be considering Amdahl products." Eric S. Raymond speaks more about this in The Jargon File: "The idea, of course, was to persuade buyers to go with safe IBM gear rather than with competitors' equipment. This implicit coercion was traditionally accomplished by promising that Good Things would happen to people who stuck with IBM, but Dark Shadows loomed over the future of competitors' equipment or software. After 1991 the term has become generalized to refer to any kind of disinformation used as a competitive weapon."

So What FUD Is On The Street? • Oracle is not committed to the higher education market • Fusion is Confusion • Fusion will require a re-implementation We’ll address these and other FUD rumors as we talk today

USM Questions • Why should we upgrade to Fusion? • What is the Fusion rollout schedule? • What is the driver for the development of Fusion? Is it increased functionality in the apps or simply a new approach to technology? • Will the PeopleSoft Internet Architecture be replaced? How does Fusion affect the development toolkit of PS? • Will we have to buy new hardware? • Will we need to change/upgrade my database? What is the Oracle stance on support for SQL server? • What does "end-of life" for PeopleSoft products really mean? • What commitment will Oracle make to assure that the transition to Fusion is more of an upgrade than a completely new implementation? • Will Oracle actively support the Higher Ed Users Group? Will Oracle continue to support a separate higher education annual conference? • What input will clients have in the discussion of which functionalities will go into Fusion from PeopleSoft and Oracle apps?

Questions • What kind of communication mechanisms will Oracle have in place to keep clients up to date on its decision making in this area? • Where is the official place to learn about Fusion? www.oracle.com/peoplesoft/index. • Are there any higher ed institutions signed on to be a Beta Site? Who are they? What is their implementation schedule? • Can we see the Product documentation, a demonstration of the Fusion system before we pay for it? • If the development of Fusion products takes longer than anticipated, what adjustments will be made to the PeopleSoft product retirement schedule for 8.9/9.0? Will there be an upgrade path from 8.9 directly to Fusion without going to 9.0? • What commitment will the institutions have to make in terms of staffing, costs, timelines, readiness, etc? When will we know what impacts this transition will have on institutional budgets? • Will we need consultants to assist me? • When can our people be trained, and what training do they need? Functional? Technical? • What product set is Oracle currently selling to the Higher Education Market?

So What FUD Is On The Street? • Oracle is not committed to the higher education market • Education is one of the Top 10 strategic industries for Oracle • Dedicated industry focus teams in development marketing and sales • Dedicated product development organization—largest in Oracle • Industry-specific leads in product strategy • Executive Advisory Board—only industry in Oracle with this level of influence • Clear Process for Customer Input to Product • Product Advisory Groups • Product Advisory Councils • Executive Advisory Board

So What FUD Is On The Street? • Fusion is Confusion • It’s a new technology and a new paradigm, we have a track record of bringing our customers along to the latest technology with 80% in eBusiness suite customers on the latest release. • 10 years ago higher education was slowly accepting the fact that client server technology was NOT risky Bleeding Edge technology. Oracle will continue to provide our customer with advance business solutions supporting by proven Leading Edge technology driven by market, competition and technical advances. • We are providing more insight into our technology and development plans than any other vendor at the risk or sharing proprietary and competitive knowledge

So What FUD Is On The Street? • Fusion will require a re-implementation • Oracle is committed and has a proven track record of providing upgrade paths successfully migrating our clients to the most current technology release • Oracle has adopted PeopleSoft Total Ownership Experience program which lead to: • 40% Less time for vanilla application upgrades • 25% Less time for customized application upgrades • 80% Fewer steps to apply maintenance updates • 34% Fewer incoming calls per customer • 44% Less time to resolve and close support cases
