Feb 25 @  1:00pm

In our IT careers, we can find ourselves at a crossroads—trying to understand the best way to grow and develop. We want to maximize our professional impact, but we aren’t clear if we should focus on building technical proficiency, industry knowledge, or “people skills.” What does a strong roadmap for our career development look like?…

Q&A topics include:
Any advice for a very small IT team in relation to the rest of the company? We want to do big upgrade successfully, but we may not be able to increase headcount despite projects moving forward.
How can we influence a leader to pause and focus more on the “why” when clarity is not there?
We're just starting to lead a project that failed seven years ago. We're trying it again with different technology. Any words of advice?

Jennifer Leatherman, IT Business Solutions Director at CTB, Inc. spoke with us about their decision to migrate from JD Edwards World Software to Oracle ERP Cloud.

“By moving to a fully functional, fully integrated system, we are able to lower ongoing cost by reducing the third-party software we had added over the years. This included maintenance and support along with licensing.”
—Jennifer Leatherman, IT Business Solutions Director at CTB, Inc

Many IT professionals don’t feel like they’re making a difference. For various reasons, they feel undervalued and unappreciated. Those reasons range from executive absence, unrealistic expectations, inadequate budgets, shrinking headcount, to “shadow IT” efforts. I take these stories to heart because I, too, have experienced these disappointments. As such, these conversations motivate me to ask, “How do we stop the madness?”

During INFOCUS 20, the JD Edwards product team presented the JD Edwards strategy and vision that encapsulated industry trends, product innovation, and a call to action for you to leverage JD Edwards' strengths along with Oracle’s broader portfolio in order to monetize your ERP.

In this live demo, you will see the only purging and archiving solution that is specifically designed for JD Edwards World.  Packed with JD Edwards-specific functionality and automations, Purge-it! does the hard work so that you don't have to.  Four levels of data integrity checking, ensure that each document is successfully validated before it is archived.  Documents are also archived as a whole, so that you don’t get any part-purged documents.  All of that validation creates document-level auditing, which is great for internal or external auditors, and shows which documents have been archived, which haven’t, and if they haven’t, WHY they haven’t.  One step processes, anytime cancellation, full reversal options, and simple configuration with Data Selection and Processing Options, are just some of the other great features of Purge-it! World.  Come along and spend the most productive 15 minutes of your day.
