PEOPLESOFT AND CERIDIAN ANNOUNCE PLANS TO DELIVER PAYROLL OUTSOURCING
INTERFACE

PLEASANTON, CA, October 4, 1995 -- PeopleSoft, Inc. (NASDAQ: PSFT) today
announced an agreement with Ceridian Corporation (NYSE: CEN) to directly
link Ceridian's payroll service and system with PeopleSoft HRMS, the
market-leading suite of client/server human resource management software.
Under terms of the agreement, the two companies will develop a payroll
interface for PeopleSoft HRMS customers who wish to outsource their
payroll processing to Ceridian or who already are using its services.

The agreement between PeopleSoft and Ceridian is part of PeopleSoft's
strategy to support the widest range of popular platforms and third party
applications for its worldwide HRMS customer base. PeopleSoft is part of
Ceridian's open solutions strategy that allows Ceridian's more than 23,000
customers to mix and match HR and payroll products and services. In
operation, PeopleSoft HRMS will provide employee data changes and
calculated deductions to Ceridian's payroll system, and Ceridian will then
transmit the results of its processing operations back to PeopleSoft HRMS
for user inquiry.

David Duffield, president and CEO of PeopleSoft, said, "As one of the
leading payroll services and systems providers, Ceridian is a very
important ally in the HR community. This partnership is a significant
extension of PeopleSoft's strategy to provide integration with the
broadest range of third-party applications and systems. Our customers get
the best of both worlds -- our best of breed HRMS applications combined
with Ceridian's powerful payroll system."

According to Patrick C. Sommers, President of Ceridian Employer Services,
"Our agreement with PeopleSoft offers flexibility to our customers,
allowing them to maintain a client/server HR system with PeopleSoft, but
interface directly with our payroll service. This agreement is just
another example of how Ceridian is becoming the only payroll company
uniquely capable of supporting either insourcing or outsourcing to meet
the specific, individual needs of our customers."

DELIVERY & AVAILABILITY

Ceridian plans to provide an initial payroll interface to PeopleSoft HRMS
by the end of this year, with PeopleSoft planning to integrate the
interface as an enhancement to its PeopleSoft Payroll Interface product
next year. General availability of the PeopleSoft interface is scheduled
for the next major enterprise release of all PeopleSoft applications in
late 1996.
