OH Wait… Should I Have Gotten a Prenup?

Much like a relationship, entering into a supplier contract feels secure—until things change. What happens when your trusted partner—whether a managed services provider or hosting vendor—is acquired, restructures, or sells off key operations? Suddenly, you’re trying to exit a high-stakes agreement with a different team than the one you negotiated with—and those “standard terms” you relied on may not offer the protection you expected. Even before that point, bumps and stumbles can happen early in the relationship. Maybe you were sold a “completed” solution that turns out to be built just for you in real time—or a bid that looked like a bargain at the start leads to a series of change orders and mounting project overruns. These red flags can quickly turn what felt like a partnership into a long-term commitment you didn’t bargain for. This session explores the often-overlooked risks in long-term vendor relationships, especially when it comes to managed services and hosting agreements. You’ll learn: •Why typical exit language and boilerplate legal terms fail in the face of M&A activity •How shifts in ownership, support models, or service levels can impact your contractual rights—and your JD Edwards ecosystem •What to watch for in proposals and project scopes to avoid low-bid traps, hidden development costs, and “custom-built” surprises •What to include when negotiating MSAs and hosting contracts to ensure flexibility, protection, and clear exit strategies The session will close with an open discussion about real-world issues participants have faced in vendor and hosting relationships and a collaborative list of action items organizations can take to strengthen agreements, mitigate risk, and protect themselves when things change.

Seeing the Work Sooner: Leveraging Citizen Developer Frameworks and ReportsNow for End-to-End Job Tracking

We are a precast concrete company managing long-duration jobs that span multiple years—from initial booking to final production. Historically, JD Edwards only reflected production activity after engineering drawings were approved, leaving a critical visibility gap during the “Out for Approval” (OFA) phase. This made forecasting and scheduling difficult, as we lacked system-level insight into what was approaching production. To solve this, we leveraged JD Edwards’ Citizen Developer Frameworks—including Composed Pages, Orchestrator, Grid Personalizations, and Form Extensions—alongside ReportsNow, Excel, and SQL to create an end-to-end job tracking solution. We standardized our Configurator, built an Excel tool to build configuration data, and used SQL to stage and flag OFA and RFP statuses. The Excel tool standardizes and formats the data to correspond with custom grids to make sales order entry more efficient and accurate. Engineers validate configurations using ReportsNow and trigger an Orchestration to release jobs to production. Exception reports and dashboards ensure accuracy and provide real-time visibility. This session will share how we closed the forecasting gap, empowered business users, and scaled a low-code reporting solution across the organization.
