Hosted by Chandra Wobschall and Paul Houtkooper
Hello JDE Connection listeners! In this week’s episode, your podcast hosts, Chandra Wobschall and Paul Houtkooper, just wrapped up an exciting week at BLUEPRINT 4D and couldn’t wait to share our experience with you! We kicked off the week with a whirlwind of sessions, meetings, and impromptu chats. The energy was electric! From customers to partners, the level of engagement was phenomenal. Paul even rehearsed his keynote while on a run, talk about multitasking! As usual, it was great to connect with friends and colleagues from around the globe and meet new friends!
Live Podcast Recording – A First for Us!
One of the biggest moments for us was our live podcast recording. Yes, live and in person! It was amazing to see over 40 people attend and actively participate. We discussed resource usage in the JD Edwards community, and it was fantastic to hear tips and tricks from our listeners. A big thank you to everyone who showed up and shared their insights!
Spreading the Word
We were surprised by how many attendees hadn’t heard about The JDE Connection. BLUEPRINT 4D was the perfect platform to spread the word. We had several folks stop by our booth to thank us for episodes like Lingo Bingo; some even shared how our podcast helped them understand complex terms.
The Future and Product Highlights
The JD Edwards Ask Me Anything sessions were eye-opening. Many customers expressed concerns about JD Edwards’ future, but rest assured, Oracle is committed to continuous enhancements and support. We discussed the ongoing investment and the 2035 premier support announcement, which guarantees product updates and technical assistance. We also highlighted some cool new features, like the ability to promote certain objects into production without package builds. This enables quicker responses to business needs, making customers more nimble and efficient.
Reflecting on the Week
The week was intense but incredibly rewarding. We learned a lot, not just about the product but also about how we can better serve our community. From feedback on our sessions to suggestions for future topics, we came back with a treasure trove of ideas. We’re excited to keep the momentum going and continue delivering valuable content.
Looking Ahead
If you missed BLUEPRINT 4D, consider attending INFOCUS October 1-3rd in Denver, CO. It’s a great opportunity to dive deeper into the technical aspects of JD Edwards and interact with the engineering and product management teams. Thank you all for tuning in to this episode of the JDE Connection. Until next time, let’s keep learning, sharing, and most importantly, laughing together.
Toodles!
