The evolution of artificial intelligence has moved from rules-based automation and predictive analytics to today’s advanced, autonomous systems capable of reasoning, learning, and acting across enterprise workflows. In this session, we will:

• Explore what AI agents and agentic AI are, and how they represent a major shift from traditional AI by enabling goal-driven, context-aware, and self-orchestrating capabilities.

• With a focus on JD Edwards, we will walk through practical use cases where AI agents operate as digital workers across finance, supply chain, and operations—executing complex ERP tasks, interpreting data in context, and keeping work moving with less manual effort.

• Demonstrate a live agent, showing how AI agents can transform JD Edwards from a system of record into an intelligent, proactive system of action.

After the session, attendees should understand the tangible business value AI agents in JD Edwards deliver, including increased efficiency, improved accuracy, and faster insights.

Join us for an inside look at how the City of Plano, TX successfully modernized its JD Edwards ecosystem through a comprehensive technical audit and a strategic upgrade to Application Release 24 and Tools Release 9.2.8.2.
