PeopleSoft was a company that provided human resource management systems (HRMS), customer relationship management (CRM), manufacturing, financials, enterprise performance management, and student administration software solutions to large corporations, governments, and organizations. The company then acquired by Oracle Corporation in 2005.

In 1987 David Duffield and Ken Morris founded the PeopleSoft company which was originally headquartered in Walnut Creek, California before moving to Pleasanton, California. PeopleSoft’s product suite (also branded PeopleSoft) was initially based on a client-server architecture. The entire software suite moved to a web-centric design called Pure Internet Architecture with the release of PeopleSoft Version 8.

The new format allowed all of a company’s business functions to be accessed and run on a web browser. Originally, a small number of security and system setup functions still needed to be performed on a fat client machine; however, this is no longer the case. One important feature of PeopleSoft’s PIA is that no code is required on the client – there is no need for additional plugins, or JVMs such as the Jinitiator required for older Oracle Applications.
