Day 1 Kick-Off with Oracle: Orchestrator

Presented by:
AJ Schifano, Oracle

Abstract:

“How Orchestrator Has Changed the Game”
Is it fair to say that Orchestrator has been a disruptive force in the way we use our JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems today? To say the least. In this session we will reflect on the number, scale, and breadth of innovations that have been made possible with Orchestrator. We will take a fresh look at where Orchestrator sits today, its current capabilities, and its recent enhancements. You might even say that Orchestrator has tipped the playing field—in your favor. It’s a game of speed. It’s a game of strength. It’s a game of numbers. It’s a game where you get to throw out the old rules and write new ones. But you can’t win if you don’t play.

Business Process Automation

Replacing Excel/Email with Low-Code Platform: Centralizing Master Data Management – MRO, Product Definition (PLM), and More…

Presented by:
Joe Hebner, IT Applications Manager, Tredegar Corporation
Kathy Pride, Senior Developer / Analyst, Tredegar
Doug Palaske, Director of Sales & Marketing, K-Rise Systems
Ben Tyrell, Senior Developer, K-Rise Systems

Abstract:

Accurate master data is the bedrock for system integrity. It guides users through the master data process to ensure the data is entered, approved, and finally loaded, via integrations, into JDE. It can also utilize system processes to reduce manual input for improved accuracy and efficiency. This demo will include several processes we use to achieve these goals:
MRO: This process allows users to request and approve new MRO items, then utilize a third party to scrub the data, and accurately categorize prior to load items to JDE.
Purchase Items: Purchased item requests can be manually entered or fed into the request form by our product engineers via our PLM application. Requests are entered, approved, and systematically loaded to JDE.
Finished Goods: New finished goods SKU requests are entered and approved. Then the items, UOM conversions, BOM’s, and routings are loaded to JDE. There are several validations to ensure data accuracy and verify the items are allowed based on our PLM application.
Objectives:
1.Integration: We will show how this platform uses several data integration methods with JDE via direct data access, calling business functions directly, and using Orchestrations to load data.
2.Process Improvement: We will also show how these processes are leading to improved data integrity and user efficiency
3.Agility: Low/No-code platform allows the development team to quickly fulfill business requirements

Day 4 Kick-Off with Oracle: Personalization & Extensibility

Presented by:
Oruganti Naga Srihari, Oracle

Abstract:

Changing the Customization Game with the JD Edwards Extensibility Framework
Everybody needs to make some changes to the software sometime. After all, agility and adaptability have been hallmarks of the JD Edwards product for decades. Modifications to application forms, showing or hiding fields, adding columns to grids, introducing some custom business logic—these are all improvements that keep users efficient and productive and keep the software effective in a changing world. But a six-month development project is too long, so let’s change the rules. Changes that require technical programming or development skills are too difficult, so let’s change the rules. Sometimes we can’t wait days or weeks for package builds and deployments, so let’s change the rules. The JD Edwards extensibility framework changes the game by enabling rapid, agile change and reducing the technical complexity of effecting that change.
