Other third-party vendors are more concerned. "Oracle is much less encouraging to third-party vendors to support their applications than PeopleSoft was," said Dion DeLoof, CEO at Anteo Group LLC, based in Atlanta. "PeopleSoft has made money on licensing revenue and has been happy for [the Anteos of the world] to be out there making money on upgrades. Oracle doesnt like to give that piece of the business away. Thats really our challenge three years out."
