*"Montclair State University is suing Oracle in connection with a troubled
ERP (enterprise resource planning) project. Montclair's complaint, filed
Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, states that
Oracle made an array of 'intentionally false
statements'<http://www.techworld.com.au/article/410298/university_accuses_oracle_extortion_lies_rigged_demo_lawsuit>
regarding
the functionality of its base ERP system, the amount of customization that
would be required, and the amount of 'time, resources, and personnel that
the University would have to devote.' 'Ultimately, after missing a critical
go-live deadline for the University's finance system, Oracle sought to
extort millions of dollars from the University by advising the University
that it would not complete the implementation of the ... project unless the
University agreed to pay millions of dollars more than the fixed fee the
University and Oracle had previously agreed to,' it adds."*
