This session will highlight Seaboard Corporation’s adoption of JD Edwards Orchestrations to empower their business. This session will explore specific use cases including, automating user setup, mass work order updates, and notifications for purchase orders. Seaboard resources worked closely with Grant Thornton on their journey to become self-sufficient in building their own Orchestrations. Grant Thornton worked with Seaboard to identify opportunities where they could train and transition Orchestration creation to Seaboard resources over the course of a project. Seaboard resources now successfully design, create, and maintain Orchestration solutions for their own business needs. Grant Thornton celebrates Seaboard’s journey as a success story worth sharing. They also believe others can benefit from the orchestrations Seaboard has built. This session will showcase Seaboard’s journey, share practical examples, and offer insights for organizations looking to empower their teams through automation.
