One of the cornerstones of digital transformation for an enterprise is automating routine and manual processes. Process automation ensures the data your enterprise generates is accurate and real-time. Enterprise automation is the inevitable next step. It leverages this business data, gathered from your JD Edwards system, to help you solve some of your most complex business challenges.

Turn Your Data to Models and Metrics with Enterprise Automation

Process automation is both the first and an important step because it ensures the accuracy, volume, timeliness and quality of the data that’s getting into your JD Edwards system. Several automation tools within EnterpriseOne—Orchestrator and Worlflow—help ensure the accuracy of your raw, transactional data by helping you see how activities in each of your processes evolve from beginning to end.

This ERP data can reveal the truth about how your enterprise functions through models and metrics. And these models and metrics are the essence of enterprise automation.

Models: Your ERP data can help build process models that depict how your business operates. Where human-made models can fall short, particularly in terms of visibility, enterprise automation can generate more actionable models, based on your raw data.

Metrics: Metrics are the other half of enterprise automation. While models represent the steps in a process, metrics are super imposed on those models to provide quantitative information on process efficiency. Simply put, metrics help you assess the health of your models. 

There are more automation tools within EnterpriseOne to help you with these metrics and models. EnterpriseOne pages, for instance, provide a visual workspace where you can design process models using tiles and connecting arrows. Watchlists then complement these models by allowing you to visualize key metrics directly within that context, offering a comprehensive view of your operations.

In essence, focusing solely on individual transactions limits your ability to achieve broader business goals. Enterprise automation offers a wider view by generating insightful models and metrics that can uncover hidden opportunities and potential roadblocks within your organization’s operations.

Benefits of Enterprise Automation

Put your ERP data to work: With enterprise automation, the goal is to make the vast amount of data that your enterprise generates work for you by using it to build efficient business models and metrics.

Target and achieve your enterprise’s challenges: Whether you’ve been struggling with fixing a customer satisfaction issue or improving your procure-to-pay process, enterprise automation offers you a broader perspective to make data-driven decisions that can help you solve your long-standing business challenges.

Make the most of your JD Edwards investments: Enterprise automation is a bigger, better, and broader use of your JD Edwards ERP system that you’ve invested in, where you can leverage the tools available in the JD Edwards digital platform, and the data that the system collects.
