The product will cost absolutely nothing, and some might not even know about it until they see a friend with it, but within months, every iPhone, iPad and iPod touch user

Recently, Naomi Bloom commented via Twitter on our blog post entitled, 7 Ingredients That Make or Break a PeopleSoft Upgrade: We felt it deserved a longer reply than Twitter affords, so here is our President’s response: Your comment implies that everyone is SaaS-ready or willing to ignore the investments they have made over decades.
