  "account": "The University of California's UCLA has reached a settlement with Oracle over a troubled Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) project. The vendor has waived $1.31 million in outstanding fees and granted $3.1 million in credits against future charges. UCLA had stopped paying its Oracle subscription in September 2024, citing shortcomings in the grants management functionality. The ERP Cloud Services lacked sufficient functionality to meet the University's requirements, resulting in costs and delays. The settlement was approved by the University of California's Compliance and Audit Committee and the Board of Regents.",
