Dick, that's me. I'm working on the Defense Civilian Personell System - distinct from the military personell system.

This is the first I've heard of them choosing Peopleslop, although its no worse than Oracle GHR. My guess, knowing how the guvm'nt works, is that this is a case of "different toys in different sandboxes". It does seem wasteful, but then the guv does not have a profit motive...
