In June 2003, the JD Edwards board agreed to an offer in which [[PeopleSoft]], a former competitor of JD Edwards, would acquire JD Edwards.<ref name=":0" /> The takeover was completed in July. OneWorld was added to PeopleSoft's software line, along with PeopleSoft's flagship product Enterprise, and was renamed '''JD Edwards EnterpriseOne'''.<ref name=":1" />

Within days of the PeopleSoft announcement, [[Oracle Corporation]] mounted a hostile takeover bid of PeopleSoft. Although the first attempts to purchase the company were rebuffed by the PeopleSoft board of directors, by December 2004 the board decided to accept Oracle's offer. The final purchase went through in January 2005; Oracle now owned both PeopleSoft and JD Edwards. Most JD Edwards customers, employees, and industry analysts predicted Oracle would kill the JD Edwards products.  However, Oracle saw a position for JDE in the medium-sized company space that was not filled with either its e-Business Suite or its newly acquired PeopleSoft Enterprise product.
