Many CFO's and business leaders agree that the finance organization is key to better decision-making and to the future success of the business. But they also agree that current capabilities of most finance groups fall short of what’s needed to take on the challenges of a digital economy. What’s needed is a cloud-based enterprise performance management (EPM) system that gives finance groups the flexibility, advanced analytics, and robust reporting that can help lead the business forward. Join this session to explore the benefits of an EPM solution and how it integrates with JD Edwards and other ERP's to promote integrated planning throughout the company, including finance, human resources, sales, marketing, and supply chain.

Oracle 19c brings us a very powerful new feature for index management called 'Automatic Indexing'. This feature can detect the need for indexes, create, test, and drop them automatically – without DBA intervention. This presentation will discuss all the components of automatic indexing and what they do. The attendee will further learn how to enable/disable automatic indexing, control it at the schema-level, and see several examples of automatic indexes in action. Finally, I’ll show how this feature can be used during the development lifecycle through the maturity of a database application - even without having an Oracle engineered system.

The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma (CNO) is the 3rd largest United States tribal government that supports its programs with multiple commercial enterprises as well as grant funding. CNO made a strategic decision and multi million dollar investment to pivot from JDE to Oracle cloud-based Human Capital Management (HCM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). Many factors were considered to enable this transformational change and we'll share our experiences from implementation to go-live. Learn the things we wish we would have known, what failed, how we survived, and how our system has grown since go-live. Join us in discussing our cloud-based journey including the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

In today’s market, organizations have options on whether/how/when to move to the Cloud. Some are reimplementing to new SaaS solutions; others are optimizing PeopleSoft and lifting their existing ERP/HCM to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure; and others are choosing to integrate Cloud-based solutions with their on-premise PeopleSoft applications. Join us for a panel discussion on factors to consider in evaluating your options and how to get the most value from the direction you choose. We'll share insights to help you navigate the options and the marketplace. How do you engage Oracle? How do you evaluate providers for Cloud services and/or Cloud infrastructure? What are the benefits you should expect? What will your team be responsible for AFTER the migration? We’ll also share best practice on some of the smart things your organization can be doing TODAY so that you’re ready for TOMORROW: Designing Cloud-proofed business processes that can easily move PeopleSoft down either cloud path; Automating manual tasks to help your staff redefine the nature of “work”; Identifying opportunities to reduce and retire third-party systems. Bring your questions and join us for successful strategies that will help you ensure a smooth landing if and when your cloud migration comes, and allow you to keep innovating in the meantime.

Are the JD Edwards reporting tools you are using enabling your company to make timely business decisions with confidence? Running time-consuming JD Edwards reports or query tools, exporting the results to Excel, and spending hours manipulating hard to manage spreadsheets every week or month is a recipe for failure. If this sounds familiar, attend this session to understand how Microsoft Power BI, the world’s most widely used data analytics system, combined with a solid data management platform can automate the traditional error-prone process outlined above to save employee’s time, breakdown data silos, and get more value from your organization’s data.

Dollar Shave Club (DSC) is well known for their products and unique selling proposition to the market. They are a well-established market leader and have a support team and strategy that supports their market goals.
