Riordan Manufacturing is a company owned by Riordan Industries. “Riordan Manufacturing currently employs 550 people, and has manufacturing plants in Albany, Georgia, Pontiac, Michigan, and Hangzhou, China, and Corporate Headquarters in San Jose, California” (Apollo Group, Inc., 2006).

This review analysis will identify existing system and subsystems for Riordan Manufacturing, Inc., and provide recommended system solution software, hardware and applications to improve current business processes and standards.

...Introduction It all kicked off on 6 June 2003, when Oracle ambushed PeopleSoft with a hostile takeover bid valued at $5.1 billion just four days after PeopleSoft agreed to a $1.8 billion deal with J.D. Edwards. The acquisition fight lasted over 18 months and has become a staple in business and law school case studies. PeopleSoft specialized in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software solutions. It was very strong in human resource software and other back-office functions, competing with SAP and Siebel; however, as the ERP space began to see dramatically reduced growth, PeopleSoft’s sales began to lag. Company leaders saw the acquisition of smaller J.D Edwards as a way to bolster and expand its business into enterprise management and supply chain solutions. Although this acquisition would place PeopleSoft in a better position to compete with market leaders, it never got a chance to enjoy the hype and excitement. Oracle announced its tender offer takeover of PeopleSoft and Oracle CEO, Larry Ellison, further announced that that the company would discontinue PeopleSoft products once the merger was complete (although product support for existing customers would continue). PeopleSoft faced significant challenges. The true intention of Oracle was unknown, and a personal conflict between the PeopleSoft and Oracle CEOs added complexity into the issue. The unwelcome tender offer cast a cloud of doubt upon PeopleSoft’s future and required that the board seriously consider...

...Oracle vs. PeopleSoft David Fox James Hill Matt Tschabold June 6, 2006 Contents Oracle, PeopleSoft & Reasons for the Takeover 2 ERP & the Role it plays in Business 4 An Overview of the Takeover 6 Oracle, PeopleSoft & Reasons for the Takeover Oracle began operations in 1977. Founded by Larry Ellison its focus was on information services. With computers and information operations beginning to play a more significant role in business, Oracle began to capitalize on the need for products and services in the IS market. Its services included and still include today - database software, security, data warehousing, enterprise management software, consulting, radio frequency identification devices and more.[1] PeopleSoft was founded ten years after Oracle in 1987. Dave Duffield and Ken Morris created PeopleSoft to focus primarily on ERP software. As many IS technologies were beginning to show their age and a need for newer types of operations to compete with foreign firms emerging, PeopleSoft was looking for a way to create a profitable company. Both founders saw the opportunity of enterprise resource planning as a new technology which would take off in future years.[2] The takeover of PeopleSoft by Oracle was a long and complicated legal and public opinion battle. The takeover itself had several reasons but one was the most significant. To begin Oracle was increasingly finding it was in a market which was becoming more competitive...

...Computer whose net worth is in the billions, has been the driving force at Oracle since he started the company more than two decades ago. He is now the fourth richest man in American with an annual salary of more than $72 million, a pay package that is 12 times bigger than the average pay of CEOs in the technology industry. Addressing his stockholders at Oracle’s Redwood Shores, California, headquarters in 2008, he delivered a 30-minute profanity-laced speech in which he attacked his partners, competitors, the government, and most individuals in the room. PeopleSoft CEO Craig Conway called him the modern-day “Genghis Khan” because of his atrociously bad corporate behavior. In 2008 when Ellison proposed to buy PeopleSoft, Conway noted that the takeover was nothing more than a sham intended to disrupt PeopleSoft’s sales. PeopleSoft employees openly criticized Ellison. Pleasanton City officials, home of PeopleSoft, questioned the integrity of a man who would insensitively target thousands of jobs just to claim a corporate victory. He is known for his corporate ruthlessness, which is outlined in a book by Mike Wilson titled The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison. Go to Oracle’s blog (www.oracle.com) and read the blogs from irate customers and employees. Ellison’s brash disdain for failure and obsession with reaching the top started as a child when his adoptive father tried to lower his self-esteem, telling him that he would never amount to anything.

...PeopleSoft v. Oracle: Hostilities Involved in a Takeover Precious Richey OMM 640 Business Ethics and Social Responsibility (MFF1226A) Instructor – Ken Edick Submitted: 7/23/2012 Abstract The hostile takeover of PeopleSoft by Oracle was the results of a lengthy court battle that raised many issues. One issue in particular concerned anti-trust laws and their application to technology companies. The Department of Justice, in an attempt to block the takeover, argued that a merger of this nature would lessen competition and ultimately limit customer choice. An appellant court judge ruled that this case did not meet the criterion of an anti-trust breach and ruled in favor of Oracle. Never the less, many other factors concerning the role of shareholders, the board of directors and chief officers gave rise to some grey areas. It has been speculated that the outcome of this case has paved the way for similar acquisitions in the technology arenas. The hostile take-over bid by Oracle to acquire the controlling shares of PeopleSoft was a long and drawn out acquisition. The process was marked with uncertainties, government intervention, and changed trends. Some analysis considered the move to be a merger while others considered it to be a consolidate that served as a prelude to the inevitable changes in the software market. In 2003 when Oracle’s CEO announced plans to wage an unsolicited takeover of PeopleSoft’s stock (Boatright, 2009), the decision was met with...
