I'm currently a grad. student at Stanford, and they don't even begin to document the Peoplesoft bugs. People getting incorrect paychecks, all sorts of stuff. The rumor that I heard why they switched in the first place is that the admin/creator of the system wanted to retire, and no one else knew how to run the thing. It's too bad, because the old system was far superior.
Regarding other schools. I know that in Canada the University of Alberta, University of British Columbia, and the University of Western Ontario (all 20,000+ student schools) all went through hell when "upgrading" to PeopleSoft. Is there any alternative to their software that isn't open-source?
