Approved
I approve - Kyle this needs you and Phil - Carefirst is a Oracle financials customer and originally selected Oracle for HR but we have clawed our way back and are now in the driver seat for the deal, but pricing was a major issue. Curt Brasfield Justin Anderson
Michelle, we need Curt to approve a 65% discount for Carefirst Let me know if you need any more details. This will need to be escalated up the ranks to Phil ultimately. Thanks. Justin Anderson -- Forwarded by Justin Anderson/PeopleSoft on 09/25/2003 06:26 PM --

We will need Kyle and Phil's approval for a 55% Discount. We may need to go to 65% to pull it in this quarter. Please approve and forward to Curt.
The 55% (potentially 65%) discount is needed to compete with Oracle. Oracle is their current Financials and DB provider. CareFirst has a long history with the Oracle who was selected for HR/PR when Systems were evaluated 2 years ago. This discount will position us just below Oracle from a cost standpoint Let me know if you need any further information. Brent Bystrzycki 336-854-3571 Office Highly Confidential PS-TE2253046 |
