This session highlights a customer's recent initiative to replatform its JD Edwards (JDE) database from Oracle to SQL Server on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). It’s a compelling story that showcases how strategic alignment, cost optimization, and technical innovation can converge to drive meaningful transformation. The presentation will walk through the rationale behind the decision to adopt SQL Server—driven by licensing flexibility, cost-efficiency, and alignment with broader IT goals. Attendees will gain insight into the performance benchmarks achieved post-migration, demonstrating SQL Server’s ability to meet enterprise-grade workloads within OCI. Key aspects of the journey include the planning and execution of a seamless go-live cutover, the role of database compression in optimizing storage, and the measurable improvements in performance and resource utilization. This session offers practical takeaways for organizations evaluating JD Edwards upgrades, cloud migrations, or database platform changes—providing a real-world example of how thoughtful strategy and execution can deliver both technical and financial benefits.

Are you overwhelmed yet?... Artificial Intelligence. Inventory Master Data “gatekeepers.” Mobile applications. Segregation of duties. Request(s) for Quotation. Users begging for Best-of-Breed software (Maximo, Citiworks, Prometheus, etc.) Business Intelligence… [Insert your technology or cost-control strategy of the day here]
Best-in-Class production operations don’t ignore strategic improvements in technology, business processes, or data models, but they do evaluate these improvements in the context of a corporate-culture of asset reliability and a shared responsibility for production uptime. In this EAM Spotlight we will explore strategies to manage costs and increase production that challenge some thinking errors that there are “quick fixes” to complex business dynamics.

Manual invoice processing is time-consuming, error-prone, and often built around rigid templates. This webinar explores how EASYProcess AP Automation modernizes AP workflows from capturing invoice data with OCR-based data capture and generativeAI, to automating validation and approvals, to managing exceptions with built-in intelligence.

We’ll also introduce new GenerativeAI capabilities, which allow AP teams to define invoice handling logic using natural language.

This session will provide a practical look at how AP Automation can streamline the full invoice lifecycle, from capture to payment, including:

- Invoice data capture using AWS Textract AI to process PDFs, scanned images, and handwritten documents without position-based templates
- Data validation and matching for voucher entry, 2-way and 3-way PO matching, and tolerance handling for freight, core charges, and other variables
- Workflow automation for approvals, notifications, escalations, and exception management.
- GenerativeAI-driven exception handling, applying vendor-specific rules and corrections consistently across invoices
- Audit and recordkeeping with scanned invoices stored as media attachments directly in JD Edward
