As the JD Edwards landscape continues to evolve and more workloads are migrated to the cloud it’s inevitable your organization will be considering its strategy towards infrastructure and its upgrade path for the year(s) ahead.
As a JD Edwards World client, you have a clear set of choices ahead, you can choose to:
- Keep using World on your current release and defined support model
- Upgrade to World A9.4
- Move to Oracle Cloud ERP
- Migrate to EnterpriseOne 9.2
Oracle JD Edwards recently released an eBook “Why Migrate from JD Edwards World to EnterpriseOne 9.2” which provides an in-depth exploration of the reasons to make the move to JDE E1 9.2 and examines the benefits to JDE World users that choose to make the move, which include:
Increased Mobility
Mobile workforce’s have become the norm and require flexibility and intuitive solutions to help them execute time-critical tasks from any location. The combination of mobile applications and JDE E1 9.2, provides users with a powerful combination of intuitive interaction with notification functionality that delivers information to business users, wherever they are.
Process Automation
Manual data entry is tedious, expensive and prone to problems. EnterpriseOne provides an integrated platform that delivers real-time data into applications. This allows users to optimize operations, utilize more accurate analytics and ensure regulatory compliance. EnterpriseOne 9.2’s automation capabilities transform how you can utilize your JD Edwards system, placing you on the road to becoming a digital business.
Reduced or Eliminated Customizations
The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.2 architecture significantly reduces the need for customizations. Intuitive personalization frameworks empower your business analysts to configure the user experience as required. This allows you to reduce the costs associated with implementation and maintenance, while unburdening your IT resource to focus its energy on continuously adopting new functionality.
Cloud Compatibility
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.2 allows users to follow an agnostic approach to deployment, allowing you to operate a model that works for your business and complements your existing systems; whether that is on-premise, in the cloud or through a hybrid approach.
Continuous Innovation
Forget large-scale upgrades and enjoy the smaller incremental updates through release 9.2’s continuous delivery model. This approach affords your business the ability to deliver updates to your system in an iterative cadence that suits your needs; unburdening your IT resource from large-scale upgrade programs, re-focusing them on delivering more frequent improvements in a non-disruptive and cost-effective manner.
Don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do today
Oracle concludes that JD Edwards EnterpriseOne World users should harness the capabilities of release 9.2 sooner, rather than later. Release 9.2 offers users unrivalled capability to harness a range of features and tools that will help them to drive competitive advantage and digital transformation in their organizations. With all this in mind, it does raise the question “What are you waiting for?”.
