Part 1 of a 2-part series recapping the current investments and potential future of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.2.

At the 2022 BLUEPRINT 4D conference, Gary Grieshaber, Group Vice President, Applications Development at Oracle, and Paul Houtkooper, Vice President, Applications Development at Oracle, spoke at length with our global JD Edwards ecosystem of customers, partners and employees about the evolution of ERP driven by new waves of technological innovation. From Transactional to Digital, and next Intelligent ERP, our customers also joined the conversation to talk about what their organizations are focusing on now and what they anticipate next.

Focus Now: JD Edwards Digital Transformation

The Transactional wave was all about digitizing transactions using traditional ERP software as the system of record, converting pen and paper to digital, without fundamentally changing or altering the rules of the game. “With Release 22, we are delivering on the promise of the Digital wave. A digital solution that focuses on enabling organizations to Automate, Optimize, and Transform their business in order to advance and achieve their digital initiatives,” says Gary Grieshaber. Today, developing a digital strategy is an imperative for organizations to remove friction, reduce costs, and improve decision making.   

The JD Edwards digital platform contains key capabilities including UX One Visualizations, Personalization and Extensibility Frameworks, and Orchestrator Studio, and the support of emerging technologies that accelerate our customers’ digital transformation. Orchestrator is a key component of our digital platform and a highly leveraged solution that has helped over 700 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.2 customers mobilize their field workforce, develop sophisticated integrations, and automate daily activities.

During the pandemic, the JD Edwards product team continued to deliver game changing innovation and provide enhanced customer support despite the disruption. “We had 9 releases in that two-year span and over 286 new features,” says Paul Houtkooper. Since March 2020, we’ve posted 381 new assets on LearnJDE, enabling customers to implement new solutions and use the new features that were delivered.

We realized that our customers didn’t slow down during the pandemic either, but instead remained very active on JD Edwards. This includes over 320 go-lives or upgrades, more than 166 migrations to OCI, and more than 86% of the install base now on EnterpriseOne 9.2.

For our customers, Release 22 contains enormous cumulative value. If you’d like to know more about how JD Edwards has delivered innovation embedded in core business processes for organizations and helps them compete in today’s markets, read more about the cumulative value of Release 22.
