With 3,928 workers, PeopleSoft is Pleasanton's largest employer. It produces about $650,000 a year in property tax money. Pleasanton does not release sales tax figures by company, but it does list PeopleSoft as one its top 25 sales tax revenue producers.

Another case where there can be negative consequences to corporate M&As.
