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.

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. So, what are you waiting for? Some companies have delayed this important upgrade because of a lack of IT resources. Others have put it off in fear of the process. If you fall into either category, you aren’t alone — but this is where the benefits of a managed service provider can come into play to help you check the upgrade off your list.

Oracle has been hardening its strategy and amplifying its message big time with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne in the Cloud, most recently with a strong push at Collaborate 2019 for the 9.2 upgrade. You know, that update Oracle keeps reminding you about? What you might not know is that less than half of JDE users have taken full advantage of 9.2 — so statistically, you might just be one of them. Oracle has some big plans for upcoming 9.2 system upgrades including JDE Orchestrator, UX One, mobile, and more.

Late last year, Oracle JD Edwards announced its latest Tools Release (9.2 Update 3) for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne (JDE E1), along with a significant drive to lead digital transformation and transformational business solutions.

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.

As the backbone to many market-leading companies, JD Edwards is one of the strongest, most reliable ERP systems on the market today. However, for many business executives they continue to question if they’re consistently taking advantage of JD Edwards to solve their current technology needs. In a recent interview, Lyle Ekdahl, Oracle’s Senior Vice President and General Manager, said “The strength of digital technologies―mobile, analytics, cloud―doesn’t lie in the technologies individually. Instead, it stems from how companies integrate them to transform their businesses.”

As you may have already heard, Oracle recently released their JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications and Tools 9.2 upgrade. The 9.2 release signals Oracle's intention to allocate more time, energy, and resources into the innovation and improvement of JD Edwards applications. Upgrades to 9.2 will add new features for administrators, improve the general security infrastructure, and address a few notable legacy security concerns. In this post, we'll take a look at some of the major changes and improvements to security in Oracle's JDE E1 Applications and Tools.
