One of my favorite quotes in the "Issues" section is the trouble the Army was having trying to adapt their personnel policies into standard PeopleSoft actions, with a contractor developer eventually claiming to the Army "you guys (Army SMEs) just don't know how to properly manage people...". Perhaps, but somehow I doubt that the same exact methods suitable for personnel management for civilians is always applicable to the Army. That was by far not the only problem; the Navy actually uses PeopleSoft for its military personnel management nowadays (presumably they found developers more willing to modify PeopleSoft).
