Discover how to unlock the full potential of Oracle JD Edwards by reimagining it as a flexible, service driven engine rather than a traditional ERP locked behind a complex UI. In this session, “JDE as a Service,” you'll see how to abstract key ERP functions into modern, consumable services that can power rich digital experiences across various platforms such as Microsoft Teams, web and mobile apps, and AI driven agents. Attendees will gain practical guidance on identifying which JDE processes and data domains are best suited for service abstraction—ensuring maximum business impact with minimal disruption. We’ll also explore best practices for crafting intuitive, user friendly digital touchpoints, enabling teams to interact with JDE in ways that feel natural, familiar, and efficient. Beyond UX, the presentation will dive into the architectural patterns needed to expose these services securely, including authentication strategies, access control models, and methods for safeguarding ERP data in distributed environments. Join us to discover how this approach not only expands JDE’s reach across your organization but also simplifies training, accelerates adoption, and positions your ERP as a scalable platform for future innovation.

ERPs such as JD Edwards and PeopleSoft produce vast amounts of operational data, yet architectural constraints and siloed access limit its usability by modern AI and agentic frameworks. This gap prevents organizations from moving beyond static reporting to AI-driven insights and intelligent, automated decision-making. This session explores how bringing AI directly to enterprise data—leveraging Oracle AI Data Platform and OCI Generative AI models —can unlock the full value of ERP systems. Using modern AI techniques such as vector databases, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and large language models (LLMs), organizations can enable secure, natural-language access to ERP data while preserving existing JD Edwards and PeopleSoft investments. The presentation will walk through practical reference architectures built on OCI, including the use of the Oracle 26 AI Lakehouse to unify structured ERP data and unstructured enterprise content for AI-driven analytics and automation. Real-world use cases will demonstrate AI-assisted ERP reporting, contextual knowledge discovery, and NLP-enhanced workflows that reduce manual effort and accelerate decision-making. In addition, the session will outline best practices for enterprise-grade security, data governance, model lifecycle management, and the design of AI agents using agentic frameworks to orchestrate multi-step ERP interactions. The session will also offer a forward-looking view into emerging patterns such as agent-to-agent collaboration, highlighting how coordinated, multi-agent workflows can further extend ERP automation while keeping data close to its source. It will also cover scalable deployment patterns on OCI. Attendees will leave with actionable architectural patterns and implementation strategies to deliver AI-led business outcomes using their existing Oracle ERP data assets.

Oracle ERP customers frequently ask: Where should we apply AI first—and how do we know it will work? This session answers that question by walking through hands-on AI Discovery that has been successfully used to identify AI opportunities in JD Edwards and other ERP environments. Many organisations want to “use AI” in their ERP landscape, but struggle to identify where it will deliver real business value. Too often, AI initiatives start with technology and end without impact. The session will share practical examples and lessons learned from real customer engagements, demonstrating how organisations can move from AI curiosity to confident, value-driven adoption within their Oracle ERP landscape.
