    Well that's a big one.

    Perhaps firing expertise and hiring incompetents wasn't a good idea.

      There's incompetence in every major company including Oracle. PeopleSoft isn't known for being the most modern or secure thing out there. Less reliance on 3rd party software like this will be a good thing going forward.

        That's assuming that the result of this will be to switch away from PeopleSoft.

          Not even the FBI has hostage negotiators good enough to get you out of an Oracle contract.

            Anyone that signed an Oracle contract has volunteered as a hostage, though, so you have to negotiate with both the hostage-taker and the hostages. Stockholm-syndrome-esque.
