PeopleSoft is an integrated software package that provides business applications like HR, CRM, and financials. It was founded in 1987 and focuses on efficient enterprise-wide processes. PeopleSoft uses a server-centric architecture called PIA without a client, consisting of web, application, and database servers. Requests are sent through the web server to the application server which processes the request using services and returns the response through the web server to the client. Oracle acquired PeopleSoft in 2005 and is integrating it with its other applications under the Oracle Fusion platform.

8. HOW DOES IT WORK?
• The client sends in a request through a browser (using HTTP)
to the Web Server
• The Presentation Relay Servlet (within the Web Server) maps
the data in this request & sends it to the Application Server
for processing
• The Application Server then uses a variety of application
services to process the request and sends the response back
to the PRS
• The PRS maps the response in HTTP form and sends it to the
client from within the Web Server
• All PeopleSoft Application Services use the SQL Access
Manager to access the Database Server
