Introducing Oracle Guided Learning for JD Edwards: Simplifying and Accelerating Application Adoption

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, staying competitive and agile is essential. To achieve this, organizations need robust software solutions that can seamlessly integrate into their operations.

JD Edwards has been a cornerstone of business management systems for decades. However, for a new User, adapting to new software can be a daunting task – even for exiting employees when systems, like JDE, are upgraded.

To address this challenge, Steltix in collaboration with Oracle have developed Oracle Guided Learning for JD Edwards (OGL4JDE), a groundbreaking in-application training, onboarding, and policy enforcement solution.

Oracle Guided Learning is a tool designed to help users adopt and learn how to effectively use Oracle applications like JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. It provides a contextual and interactive learning experience that can significantly enhance the onboarding and training process for JD Edwards users.

The Evolution of Oracle Guided Learning

Oracle Guided Learning (OGL) is not a newcomer to the field of enterprise software training.

OGL today supports over 7 million users worldwide for in-application training and onboarding for Oracle Fusion Cloud and other web-based applications. The OGL platform continues to be developed and supported by Oracle as it has done for over a decade.

Building upon this extensive experience, Steltix, in collaboration with Oracle University and Oracle JD Edwards Product Development, has taken the initiative to integrate the OGL solution natively within JD Edwards, giving birth to Oracle Guided Learning for JD Edwards (OGL4JDE).

Revolutionizing User Adoption

OGL4JDE promises to revolutionize the way organizations approach user adoption, training, and onboarding for JD Edwards. It offers a comprehensive learning experience that simplifies even the most complex processes, reducing the learning curve associated with adopting new applications.

Native Integration

One of the most significant advantages of OGL4JDE is its native integration within JD Edwards.

Unlike many other training solutions that require separate integration and maintenance, OGL4JDE seamlessly works with each new release of JD Edwards, OGL, JDE Tools, and Applications.

This ensures that your training platform is always up-to-date without the need for complex integration efforts.

Real-time Insights

OGL4JDE provides organizations with comprehensive user insights and embedded analytics.

This real-time feedback empowers Change and Training teams to identify successful areas and those in need of improvement. By understanding user behaviour and preferences, organizations can continually enhance their training content, resulting in higher user satisfaction and productivity.

Contextually Aware Help

One of the standout features of OGL4JDE is its contextually aware help and immediate guidance. Users no longer need to navigate through extensive documentation or contact support for assistance. OGL4JDE’s intelligent system provides on-the-spot help, reducing the need for helpline support and enabling users to work more efficiently.

Unparalleled User Experience and Productivity

Oracle Guided Learning for JD Edwards offers an unparalleled user experience that adds immediate value throughout the entire JD Edwards Business System life cycle.

Users can become productive from day one with OGL4JDE. Its step-by-step guides and videos ensure that employees are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their roles from the outset.

Increased Adoption and Easy Deployment

OGL4JDE not only accelerates onboarding but also increases system adoption. Employees are more likely to embrace new technology when they have access to user-friendly, in-application training resources.

Deploying OGL4JDE is quick and straightforward. Organizations can roll out this solution without the hassle of complex configurations or lengthy implementation projects.

Personalized Content and Features

The platform allows for the creation of personalized training material tailored to the specific JD Edwards environment. Version control and content management features make it easy to create, update, and publish content, ensuring that training materials stay relevant and up-to-date.

OGL4JDE offers a rich set of features, including pre-built step-by-step user training guides and videos, product tours, rich media guides, beacons, invisible Smart Tips, and links to additional content. It even supports the launch of user surveys and pop-up messages to highlight key input requirements.

Multi-language Support

In today’s globalized world, multi-language support is essential. OGL4JDE provides automated machine translation capabilities, making it accessible to a diverse workforce.

Continuous Improvement through User Insights

User Feedback Analysis and Insights

OGL4JDE is not a static solution; it continually evolves based on real-time insights, user feedback, and analytics.

It also offers detailed, live analysis of user guides and training content. This information informs Change and Training Teams about user feedback, helping drive continuous improvement.

OGL4JDE tracks which guides are being used and whether users are completing them. This data helps organizations identify areas where additional support or content is needed.

It also identifies popular search terms used by users, providing valuable insights for building and improving new content.

Content Creation and Management

One of OGL4JDE’s key strengths lies in its content creation and management capabilities.

Organizations can design and create their own training materials tailored to their JD Edwards environment. Its content management features include the creation, review, editing, and publishing of content.

It supports version control, conditional activation based on date or conditions, and automated machine translations.

It also offers the opportunity to manage content across multiple applications, whether they are JD Edwards, Oracle Cloud, or non-Oracle Cloud-based applications like Salesforce. This flexibility ensures a consistent learning experience across different software platforms.

Steltix provides pre-built content accelerators that enable users to start benefiting from OGL4JDE right away. These pre-built resources can be easily personalized and updated to suit specific needs.

The OGL4JDE License includes use with JD Edwards and two additional non-Oracle web-based applications, such as Salesforce, providing organizations with flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
