As you start to consider moving your JD Edwards system to the Oracle Cloud, it’s important to understand the different services that Oracle offers. You can choose to optimize your system with Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), extend it with Platform as a Service (PaaS), or complement it with Software as a Service (SaaS). To give you a better understanding of each option, check out this breakdown of what each service looks like.

JD Edwards and IaaS

Running your JD Edwards system on Oracle IaaS allows you to use the computing, network, and storage capabilities of Oracle Cloud on a subscription basis. You will also be able to minimize costs incurred for hardware and routine maintenance.

If you decided to move to IaaS, you can foster innovation within your JDE system. This will allow you to:

• Launch new apps more quickly with on-demand infrastructure availability
• Focus on your strategic priorities and differentiation, not managing infrastructure
• Put control directly in the hands of teams that consume infrastructure

You will also be able to optimize cost models if you chose to leverage IaaS. This means getting to:

• Reduce reliance on, or eliminate, on-premises data centers
• Reduce undifferentiated work and increase focus on your mission
• Transition your IT spend from a fixed cost to paying for only what you consume
• Gain the ability to increase capacity when demand spikes

JD Edwards and PaaS

With PaaS, you will have the ability to develop, deploy and drive insights across applications and data. The complete, standards-based suite of Oracle and open source technologies included with PaaS will help you automate business processes through Cloud and AI.

With Oracle PaaS, you will gain a connected enterprise, digital platform accelerators, vendor managed platform components, and modern development tools. Some of the perks include:

• Integration and service orientated architecture
• Pre-built adapters and patterns
• Pre-shipped solutions and blueprints
• Staying up-to-date and keeping your environment stable
• Simplified development and rapid deployment
• So much more!

JD Edwards and SaaS

You can choose to integrate your JDE environment with complementary Oracle SaaS to connect processes and people while extending the value of your business processes. The complete, integrated, modern suit spans over every category of your JDE system. You can build preference, empowerment and personalization across all channels. Utilizing SaaS will help improve operational efficiency by turning insights into action.

With Oracle SaaS, you can:

• Connect processes and people across the enterprise
• Extend the value of business processes with complementary SaaS applications
• Choose from best-in-breed, unified suite of SaaS apps
