Every day you may juggle a laundry list of urgent IT initiatives to keep your business moving forward. It’s inevitable that certain tasks will be prioritized, others will be pushed off, and some will possibly be lost in the mix. Unfortunately, for some organizations the support for their JD Edwards system all too often falls into this last category, and failure to find reliable resources and the proper JDE ERP support can have serious repercussions.

As digital transformation has accelerated across the corporate landscape and organizations race to the cloud, a significant skills gap has emerged in its wake. That rate of innovation has left many struggling to find qualified, expert resources for managing their cloud-based ERP systems including JD Edwards (JDE), along with leveraging the unique automation, machine learning, scalability, disaster recovery, etc. opportunities that come with it.

When it comes to taking your business to the next level with your JD Edwards system are you looking for smoother transitions with more choice and control? Among the many new and exciting features in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.2.3 Tools Release is the latest version of UX One, and it’s one of the many reasons why now is the time to upgrade to JDE 9.2. Integrating JD Edwards UX One into your organization gives you the ability to be in control, personalize your user experience, and successfully carry out your day-to-day tasks in order to stay on top of your business.

Change is hard. Few people are more keenly aware of that than those tasked with completing a JD Edwards system upgrade. The process can be complex, tedious, and incredibly time consuming. That’s probably why just about half of JDE’s user base still hasn’t made the jump. But the benefits of the upgrade are too significant to ignore.

Now that you’ve upgraded, you may find yourself asking, “What happens now?” To keep the momentum going and get the most out of your JD Edwards 9.2 upgrade, you can’t just set it and forget it.

Oracle first introduced the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.2 Release almost four years ago. Yet, more than 50% of users still have not upgraded their JD Edwards instance to Enterprise 9.2. Those who have upgraded are reporting significant benefits from its transformational new business capabilities including increased security, mobility, and improved real-time insights.

Last week, the Oracle JD Edwards community assembled in San Antonio for its annual users conference Collaborate. As you can imagine, it was a whirlwind week full of JDE and Oracle updates, best practices, case studies, networking events (Side Note: Thank you to everyone who stopped by the ManageForce party), and generally so much to do with too little time to do it all.

We’re heading to the Lone Star State, which can only mean one thing: The final countdown to the 2019 Collaborate conference in San Antonio has begun! We are thrilled to have our very own JD Edwards Functional Consultant Grant McIver speaking at the show this year. On Wednesday, April 10th at 12:45 p.m. he’ll dig in to strategies to improve your JDE system with a reboot.

One of the most important topics of system improvement that we always look to improve with JD Edwards ERP solutions is overall usability. The IT team can optimize and personalize your JDE ERP system to a T, but if the end user isn’t happy, nobody is happy.
