Why was Oracle/PeopleSoft Campus Solution chosen?
The recommendation to use PeopleSoft came after more than two years of study, review and negotiations. A steering committee, chaired by David Crouse, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and involving representatives of all seven campuses, was charged with recommending two suitable alternatives with whom negotiations would be held. The committee issued a request for proposals in February 2008. Proposals were evaluated by teams from both the university and the NSCS based on a number of aspects including implementation, flexibility, functionality, decision support, and cost effectiveness. A separate negotiating team was appointed, headed by David Lechner, NU vice president-business and finance. Negotiations were held with two finalists. Oracle/PeopleSoft best met the requirements of the RFP and negotiation criteria.
