As part of Quest Experience Week JD Edwards Day, Gary Grieshaber and Bob Monahan spoke about the four core investment areas of the JD Edwards product roadmap. The roadmap is shaped by user experience, digital technologies, ERP, and operational simplification.

As part of Quest Experience Week 2018 JD Edwards Day, Angela Enyeart, Senior Director of Product Management from Oracle, spoke about JD Edwards UX One and how it can be leveraged to make users more efficient. UX One centers around the user experience, so it is easy for users to configure User Defined Objects (UDOs) to personalize the pages to fit their needs.

Every business wants to operate efficiently while keeping operational costs low, including technology costs, and driving innovation. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Server Manager, the nerve center for administration, can help JD Edwards customers preserve their traditional high-value/low-TCO value proposition of running JDE by proactively managing, effectively monitoring, and easily diagnosing faults in components within your system.

Karen Brown, Senior Principal Product Manager, and Greg Becker, Senior Principal Applications Engineer, spoke at INFOCUS 18 about features that are available in today’s JD Edwards that can help organizations transform key business processes within Financials. Digitally transforming these business processes will empower organizations to conquer today’s challenges and thrive in the digital business economy.

Orchestrator is a tool within JD Edwards that can help customers automate business functions within their organizations. Orchestrations can be created by Business Analysts and are simple to create and run. The paradigm of Alert, Analyze, Act in UX One has been reimagined as Detect, Decide, Do for Orchestrator. JD Edwards and other external systems can no detect a problem, decide what to do about it, and do what needs to be done. Orchestrations can drastically cut down the time people spend on tedious actions.

A modification is a Tools-based change to an object in the system, which alters it from the way Oracle has delivered it. Modifications can have an impact every time you go through an upgrade. Customers are encouraged to create their own objects or make copies of Oracle objects, but the reality is that almost everyone has made direct changes to objects in the system. An approach that is laid out in a recent presentation shows the no-mod way to make JD Edwards easier to use.
