Ron sums up the situation very accurately. Let me add a little
background. The XP C3 project was the fourth attempt to replace the
legacy payroll system. At least two prior projects were defeated by
political/nontechnical forces.A project to implement a package solution had been previously killed
by a manager who had been involved in the creation of the legacy
system. Among other things, he had imposed the requirement that the
package be adapted to only accept unit-record input and not allow any
direct input from the user interface.This fellow rotated back to run payroll and subsequently helped
terminate C3. The Peoplesoft effort only began in earnest after his
retirement.My understanding is that the Peoplesoft payroll effort will complete
its roll out to the salaried population this month. Or, approximately
seven years after the C3 team was poised to do so.
