This session will explore how organizations are unlocking low-cost automation opportunities while producing high impact within JD Edwards by leveraging native tools such as Orchestrator. Instead of investing in costly third-party platforms, companies are maximizing the value of their existing ERP to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and deliver measurable business outcomes. Embedding automation directly within the ERP increases system value and improves overall system adoption leading to a reduced total cost of ownership and significantly accelerating return on investment (ROI). Equally important to the technology are the organizational strategies that enable success. We will highlight key drivers such as strong alignment between business and IT, cross-functional collaboration, and disciplined governance. Through a real-world example, we will show how this alignment enables faster automation, scales impact across the organization and drives measurable ROI. Attendees will leave with a practical perspective on how to increase efficiency, improve agility, and fully realize the value of their JD Edwards investment.

Delivering changes in JD Edwards with speed and confidence requires more than manual test scripts and spreadsheets. Modern JDE organizations are looking for automated, repeatable testing that fits inside their existing Oracle stack, not another external tool. In this session, we demonstrate a JDE-native test automation platform that uses Orchestrator, APEX, and Oracle Visual Builder to automate end-to-end business process testing, including real test evidence PDF creation and real-time dashboards. The next step: AI-assisted testing. We show how AI is used to enhance testing capability by: •Automatically generating test data and input variations •Recommending test cases based on JDE usage patterns and change impact •Identifying high-risk areas for regression testing •Assisting with test documentation and exception explanation Combined, these capabilities help teams accelerate testing, reduce manual effort, and improve reliability before ESUs, upgrades, and deployments, all inside the Oracle ecosystem. We will walk through a real Procure-to-Pay scenario (vendor → PO → receipt → match → voucher), demonstrating automated testing orchestration from start to finish. Outcome: Attendees leave with a blueprint for implementing AI-enhanced, JDE-native test automation that reduces upgrade pressure, increases quality, and supports continuous improvement — without adding external tools or complexity.

As organizations evolve, legacy document management systems can become barriers to efficiency, collaboration, and compliance. Turner Industries recently undertook a major initiative to migrate from IBM FileNet to AODocs. This session will highlight how AODocs integrates with JDE to support our TQM process, including real time customer inspector approvals. Attendees will also gain insights into the challenges we faced (data integrity, permissions, and user adoption).
