ìWe donít have a name yet, but we do have a time horizon: a hypothetical date,î said Mr. Duffield. ìToday feels very much like the early days of PeopleSoft and we feel the world is ready for something new. Itís time to deliver on promises that werenít fulfilled in previous systems. As it relates to our vision, what we are sharing right now is intentionally minimalistic, but we have a Web site, www.DavesNextMove.com, and are looking forward to sharing more details when the time is right. Itís a very bold approach ó it may not work, but it is exciting to try.î

He was the driving force behind the companyís vision, product, market direction, and commitment to customer service.
