Our understanding

 

Boomerang implemented J.D. Edwards’ OneWorld Xe as the system infrastructure to support its operations on July 2, 2002. Today, the system supports Boomerang’s customer installed base of more than 140,000 customers.

 

Boomerang would like to implement monthly billing and to move to a more recent version of the software in order to take advantage of enhancements in the field of security, the usability of the user interface, and new functionalities. Boomerang requires the assistance of The Createch Group to help support Boomerang’s internal resources for this important undertaking.

effect of causing Boomerang to breach its obligations to PeopleSoft or lose the benefit of any of PeopleSoft’ warranties or indemnities in respect of the software licensed by PeopleSoft to Boomerang, More specifically, The Createch Group cannot access the source code of the PeopleSoft software without the prior written approval of Boomerang.
