Looks like PSFT is getting into the internet craze...so to speak.. Here is an excerpt from a release last night - ----------------------- PeopleSoft (Nasdaq:PSFT) today announced PeopleSoft eMarketplace, a new application for business-to-business and business-to-consumer e-commerce. Integrated with the PeopleSoft e-business backbone, PeopleSoft eMarketplace provides a multi-channel solution including sales, customer self-service, product marketing, order fulfillment, and closed-loop analytics. PeopleSoft eMarketplace will allow organizations to deploy Internet sites to sell goods and services. PeopleSoft eMarketplace is built on the leading Internet commerce technology of Microsoft Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition. The first phase of PeopleSoft eMarketplace is on schedule to be generally available in the summer of 1999. PeopleSoft eMarketplace is the first offering from an ERP vendor to combine sophisticated closed-loop analytics and dynamic transaction generation capabilities with traditional e-commerce functionality. PeopleSoft eMarketplace will leverage PeopleSoft Enterprise Performance Management analytic capabilities to create the most personalized experience for the end customer, and maximize revenue, profitability, and other strategic business objectives for the seller. In addition to closed-loop analytics, the PeopleSoft eMarketplace solution will include an Internet storefront; customer self-service functionality enabling buyers to view order history and preferences; product merchandising and marketing functions allowing targeted promotions; and tight integration with PeopleSoft's supply chain management solution for real-time pricing, inventory availability, speedy order fulfillment, and access to order, shipment, and delivery status.
