Upgrade resources for Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and JD Edwards World ERP software customers.
1. Reduce Risk
Upgraded ERP software supports updated system
components including databases, hardware
operating systems, Internet browsers and language
compilers. Avoid "time locking" your system. See
real stories from customers with frozen systems.
Choice 1: Upgrade
Choice 2: Stagnate
New releases of system components (e.g.,
databases, operating system) are not certified or
supported. Newer versions of components may
not work and older versions can fail and
subsequently break an ERP environment.
Why Upgrade?
JD Edwards’ upgrade
projects are driven by these
business needs:
1. Reduce risk
2. Reap rewards
3. Realize research
4. Retain resources
5. Reach remotely
6. Replace regulations
7. Real ROI
8. Reach rapidly
Discover why new upgrade
projects are started
everyday. And how these
projects are driving upgrade
activity across our planet as
more customers daily
upgrade to the 9s for JD
Edwards rather than let their
organization stagnate.
Upgraded ERP software embraces evolving Internet
and enterprise security approaches to counter new
threats from cyber criminals, corrupt corporations,
and rogue countries. Industrial espionage is real.
When ERP systems are not upgraded new security
threats, including industrial and military espionage
activity, are not addressed. Valuable IP and data
may be compromised, lost, or stolen.
Upgrading your ERP software permits broader
currency with independent software vendors who are
also delivering new releases with new features and
critical operational improvements.
It is more difficult, and potentially impossible, to
use updated third party software and other
solutions. An inability to use newer solutions puts
other systems, including ERP, at operational risk.
2. Reap Rewards
Choice 1: Upgrade
Choice 2: Stagnate
With an upgraded ERP system, companies take
advantage of thousands of enhancements driven by
industry SIGs and deploy new functional modules
built in cooperation with customers. Learn more
from Oracle’s cloud-based Product Features
application.
Old releases do not incorporate thousands of
enhancements and cannot use new modules
designed for later releases.
Deploy a modern user interface to increase user
productivity with drop down menus and workflows to
lower training costs and promote positive user
experiences. See the interface!
With older releases users are resigned to a 20th
century user experience characterized by last
century ERP design paradigms.
Leverage user-driven, graphical reporting across all
available enterprise data using One View Reporting
based on user roles and responsibilities.
Old releases cannot use One View Reporting and
are limited to either third party solutions or IT
managed solutions.
New administration utilities reduce system admin
costs, new user interface lowers training costs and
added enhancements and modules reduce and often
eliminate customizations which together drives down
TCO.
Old releases use more costly user and
administration approaches. Customizations need
to be maintained even if they are functionally
addressed in new modules and later-release
enhancements.
3. Realize Research
Choice 1: Upgrade
Choice 2: Stagnate
Upgraded software leverages billions of dollars of
Oracle R&D with demonstrated delivery of many
technologies, including SOA, business services,
enterprise management, and other areas.
Old software cannot utilize modern ERP constructs
and associated enhancements including SOA,
modern middleware, business services, and
enterprise management.
Leverage the three new technology pillars: cloud
(hosting and managed services), mobility (tablets
and smart phones) and big data (systems like
Oracle's Exadata) as defined by IDC Research
By remaining on old releases, customers cannot
leverage their enterprise data and systems in
conjunction with rapidly evolving technology pillars.
4. Retain Resources
Choice 1: Upgrade
Choice 2: Stagnate
With upgraded software, users and administrators
work with modern user design principles and modern
languages which generate positive employee
experiences. Employees feel empowered and more
confident when provided with the opportunity to work
with new software.
As software design evolves and mobility increases,
employees will desire modern computing
experiences. Working with old systems may be
viewed as a career limiting factor at a dated
company which fuels a desire for top talent to
depart to firms who are staying current.
5. Reach Remotely
Choice 1: Upgrade
Choice 2: Stagnate
Upgrade to use native JD Edwards EnterpriseOne
applications with mobile platforms (tablets and
smartphones) for better support of employees
outside traditional office environments.
Old releases cannot leverage today's JD Edwards
mobility for smartphones and tablets for employees
working remotely.
6. Replace Regulations
Choice 1: Upgrade
Choice 2: Stagnate
Upgraded software updates a wide variety of ever
changing tax and regulatory localizations in different
countries, including the United States and Canada.
Old releases may not satisfy constantly evolving
country or regional localizations for tax and
regulatory requirements.
7. Real ROI
Choice 1: Upgrade
Choice 2: Stagnate
Upgrades position an organization for better results
related to better reporting, more productive users
and lower ownership costs. Use ROI tools to find
your return.
Old releases do not deliver the enterprise wide
cost reductions, productivity improvements and
other benefits associated with the latest releases.
8. React Rapidly
Choice 1: Upgrade
Choice 2: Stagnate
An upgrade today simplifies future upgrades so the
next enhancements, additions and new technologies
are embraced faster.
By not upgrading sooner rather than later,
organizations become stranded and upgrades at
later dates are significantly more difficult and
costly.
