Project Sponsors own and lead the Company's key initiatives. However, good people and good teams don't automatically spell "successful projects." What is the "right stuff" you can bring to the table to avoid serious project missteps? Understand why projects falter, how to keep them on track, and how to execute your Sponsor role to drive project success.

Have you noticed that your company is multi-lingual? There 's an IT language, and a language that the user community speaks. When the different parties interact, there is often confusion created by the differences in perspective. This session will help you identify the gaps between the two, and strategies on how to bridge those gaps. Narrowing the gaps can lead to increased efficiencies and a better working environment. Come and enjoy a fresh perspective on how to improve communication within your organization!

Maybe starting with an "Open” security model during implementation wasn't the best idea at the time but changing it doesn't have to be WWIII at your company. Closing that door can be a big challenge for both users and IT but the end result is worth the team effort. Want to learn some of the do 's and don 't 's before you switch? Come learn from our triumphs and more from our mistakes when we moved our 800 users to the closed model. Find out what our business users liked and didn't like from this approach and what we would change if we could do it over.

Scott's Tips: Better Method for Updating Custom Data in Standard Applications Presented by Scott Beebe, Worldwide Aerospace Inc   Duration: about 30 minutes Intended for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne

JR Simplot is a HEAVILY modified JDE XE customer upgrading directly to E1 9.1 w/ minimal external resources. In order to meet our goal of no business interruption we had to ensure that all base functionality and our custom code works correctly at go-live. We developed a strategy of robust, precise test scenarios written for experienced users to ensure that even medium to small issues are discovered early. We were looking to avoid the 'stabilization' period of an initial implementation. At Simplot the initial JDE XE implementation was successful but had many issues that were not found during testing. For this project those issues must be found during testing, not after go-live - the business has grown and matured and similar issues will not be tolerated. We believe that this methodology identified every possible area of failure before go-live. We did not expect zero issues but believe found any business interrupting issues and the remaining ones are very minor.

Come learn how Superior Industries upgraded a multi-company instance of JDE E1 8.12 serving 200+ users with manufacturing, payroll, distribution, procurement, financials, and job cost modules to JDE E1 9.1 in 65 days using only 75% of the project budget.
