This newsletter is sponsored by Syntax.

The latest official news from Oracle:

Complex Logs
Parsing log file contents in JD Edwards just got easier. This new feature integrates the Performance Workbench functionality directly into the Server Manager interface for the IBM i platform, organizing complex log data into a simple, easy-to-read summary for system administrators. Learn more.

Print Event Rules
You can now view and print Event Rules defined by object specifications for an application or report, directly from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Web Client. This OBE shows you how to extract existing Event Rules for an object. View the OBE.

Order Fulfillment and Credit Limits
Credit limits shouldn’t grind your orders to a halt. The Release Credit Holds program now lets you release a portion of held orders, even when total exposure exceeds the credit limit. Smoother order fulfillment starts here. See how.

Credit Card Updates
Adding a credit card in your expense management system after a cancellation or replacement doesn’t have to be complex. This new JD Edwards feature makes it easy to add, replace, or manage multiple employee credit cards. Download now.

The Capacity Equation: Why Your JDE Team Is Busier Than Ever But Delivering Less

Efficiency vs. Connection: What Really Moves You Forward

Your inbox is under control. Your calendar is full. You’re staying responsive.

But are you building relationships—or just maintaining contact?

In a recent Emerging Leader Program session, Thom Singer challenged participants with this insight: Relationships aren’t a byproduct of your career—they’re the engine of how you learn, decide, and lead.

The hardest question: who do you have today that you trust to help you think through a difficult decision—or open the right door when it matters?

Because reputation isn’t built on productivity. It’s built on presence.

Read the full article to explore why designing relationships intentionally changes everything.

And don’t miss your chance to learn more about the Emerging Leaders Program, where in-depth discussions, networking, and leadership growth make business insights second nature. Join us for our next info session on June 4 at 2 pm ET.


Become Unignorable

Learn how to get your ideas heard, trusted, and acted on. You don’t need to be the loudest person in the room to make things happen. But you do need clarity, presence, and a way of showing up that earns trust.

Most talented people never get the credit, influence, or opportunities they deserve — not because they lack capability, but because their ideas stay in their heads, their emails sit in drafts, and their presentations feel safe instead of compelling.

This cohort changes that. Join us for 6 weeks with Executive Coach and former CIO Chris Laping. Reserve your seat! Or learn more and ask questions at the next cohort info session on May 13 at 12 noon ET.

Seize the opportunity to shape the future of the Quest organization with your expertise and vision. We encourage all eligible candidates to submit their nominations by May 31, 2026.
