September on The JDE Connection: Three can’t-miss episodes!

September delivered a full slate of JD Edwards insights from The JDE Connection. In Episode 75, Oracle’s Nick Velharticky spotlights the power of LearnJDE.com—from release comparison reports to integrated Performance Workbench, certification matrices, and learning paths—plus why it’s a goldmine for building upgrade cases and leveling up with Orchestrator resources.

Episode 76 was recorded live from INFOCUS 2025 with Oracle’s Clayton Seeley demystifying impact analysis; how to read those multi-page reports, what the “delta” really means, and why your focus should be on customized objects to turn the report into an actionable roadmap.

Most recently, Episode 77 recapped INFOCUS 2025 highlights from Chandra and Paul. From roadmap demos and standout sessions to real-world AI + Orchestrator stories, the AMA energy, and the community moments that make this conference feel like a “framily” reunion.
