Solutions to the Public Sector

WALNUT CREEK, CA, December 6,1993--PeopleSoft, Inc., (NASDAQ:PSFI), the
leader in client/server business application software, and Andersen
Consulting, a worldwide leader in implementing solutions for the public
sector, today announced an exclusive teaming agreement to jointly market
and deliver financial and human resource client/server enterprise software
solutions to government and public sector organizations in North America.
This expands PeopleSoft and Andersen Consulting's existing business
relationship, which has resulted in over 40 successful financial and human
resource client/server business application implementations.

"The public sector has expressed renewed interest in getting the most value
from its financial and human resources systems as part of an overall
initiative to 'reinvent government.' Andersen Consulting has teamed with
PeopleSoft because we view them as having a superior product for the
government industry, and providing a client/server environment which is
proven and positioned for the future," commented Doug Ryckman, Worldwide
Managing Partner for the Government Practice at Andersen Consulting. "We
are committed to establishing a dominant market presence in this area."

Paul Salsgiver, Vice President, Partnership Programs at PeopleSoft added,
"As public sector organizations are forced to become more efficient, they
are looking to emerging technologies like client/server and its
accompanying robust business applications. PeopleSoft provides the
financial and human resource solutions that maximize the productivity
gains of client/server and give customers the flexibility they demand,"
Salsgiver continued, "Andersen's reputation, in-depth industry knowledge,
and strong functional and technical skills make them an ideal business
partner as we look to become the leading provider of client/server
business solutions to this market."

Under the terms of the alliance, PeopleSoft and Andersen Consulting will
team to market and install PeopleSoft's Financial and Human Resources
client/server systems. PeopleSoft shall directly license the products to
the public sector organizations.

Public sector organizations being targeted will encompass U.S. state

associated agencies. Marketing and sales efforts will be supported by
