Upgrading JD Edwards while migrating to a new data center isn’t just a technical project—it’s a major change event. In this session, we’ll share our firsthand experience leading a large-scale JD Edwards upgrade and platform migration, including our move from JDE 9.2 Release 22 to Release 25, transitioning from AIX to Linux, and shifting our entire environment to a modern data center—all while supporting business-critical operations with no business disruptions.
We’ll discuss the unexpected challenges, key planning decisions, and technical strategies that helped us manage custom code, execute over 270+ UAT scripts, and complete a successful go-live with shipping and invoicing on day 1. Whether you're planning a JDE upgrade, tackling an infrastructure refresh, or managing both at once, our story will provide valuable lessons learned and practical advice you can apply to your own project
