Coles Myer will migrate from its current PeopleSoft HR system to another one as part of a five-year $650 million company-wide IT restructure. While Coles Myer has not formerly announced which system it will migrate to, it is understood to be favouring SAP in a bid to tighten integration with existing SAP business intelligence and financial systems used within Coles Myer. The decision to pull the plug on the PeopleSoft system, which manages up to 180,000 employees, was made before Oracle made its successful bid for PeopleSoft.
