Try www.google.com

Ok, to get you started - Peoplesoft is more into CRM while Oracle's primary focus is on ERM/MRP. I'm more of a SAP guy, so don't expect me to say good things on Oracle.

I have no formal training in either, nor end user experience. However, I have been exposed to MRPII / ERP implementations using SAP while doing my Masters in Manufacturing in Aus. Anyway, becoming a SAP certified PP/MM consultant is something I might consider in the near future.
