Presented at Quest Experience Week (QXW) - JD Edwards Day

A recent FSN survey found that 97% of CFOs have doubts about reporting quality, 87% of accountants work overtime to complete their financial close, and 86% of finance teams say their analytics are not insightful. This lack in data mastery can be a result of relying on ERP systems like JD Edwards. JD Edwards data can be highly complex and distributed, based on the functions it provides for daily business processes. Data is stored in hundreds of pre-populated and non-populated tables, and most finance teams don’t have the time to learn the underlying table structures for building reports. That’s where MYR found themselves and what caused them to start looking for a way to make their JDE reporting quick and easy while producing reports filled with clarity and certainty.

Facing expiring support, non-standardized processes, under-utilized functionality, and an obsolete chart of accounts and security module chart of accounts, the Alameda County Water District (ACWD) made substantial changes to their JD Edwards ERP system.  The move presented not only significant technical challenges, but procedural and cultural challenges, as well.  Broad organizational changes are not only demanding, but are frequently accompanied by skepticism about the likelihood of success.  Due to planning and hard work, the result would be greater efficiency and cost-cutting at exactly the time ACWD would need them the most – in the middle of a drought and severe water shortage that would significantly impact revenue.

For the last 6 months, we have transitioned our JDE IT team of analysts and developers from a purely ticket support model to an Agile model, with daily standups, a backlog, User Stories, and capacity planning. We are by no means perfect, but this new way of working together and with the business has helped us to better collaborate with our team and with our business partners to prioritize work and focus on what the organization needs most. We’d like to share some lessons learned in hopes that others can benefit from our experience in supporting their JDE Users.
