Integration with Oracle tools and third-party applications is detailed, emphasizing data control and process customization. Quistor’s expertise in JD Edwards migrations to OCI is showcased with real-life examples. Real-life cloud success stories demonstrate operational efficiency, cost savings, and agility achieved by other companies. Examples include reduced on-premise maintenance costs and improved system uptime. Finally, the future outlook for JD Edwards in the cloud is discussed, including next-gen OCI infrastructure, Autonomous Database features, enhanced disaster recovery, and high-availability options.
