At a recent QLC (Quest Leadership Community) event in Calgary, I had the opportunity to provide discussion documents on two topics related to JD Edwards: “Best of Breed vs All-In-One” and “ERP Governance Across Different Functional Areas”. Here is some food for thought on each topic.

Best of Breed vs All-In-One

Through my various adventures, I’ve discovered that both JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and World users haven’t been thinking about a data purge – over 60% said they have never purged or archived. I understand that the thought of a purge project can be daunting but by putting a purge project off, you’re running the risk of too much information which can hurt your system and business in the long run.

We had a great time at COLLABORATE14 this past April and as busy as the conference was, we had some time to sit down with John Schiff from Oracle and Jason Perry from Christie Digital Systems to discuss JD Edwards, OBIEE and how Oracle customers and partners are working together to leverage Oracle technology to improve business.

Many organizations adopt unique processes and ways to complete accounting tasks but this can become hard to track for compliance. What works for one company doesn't work for another and audit regulations differ depending on the location of the business. This can also be difficult for companies on a global scale.

Do you know when your support ends? Whether you are running EnterpriseOne or World, Oracle (and TeamCain) still have you covered.

For EnterpriseOne users looking to upgrade, they have the option of going to a new version (or another ERP but who would want to do that!). For JDE World users, they have the task of deciding, (a) do we upgrade to the latest version of World or (b) do we migrate over to EnterpriseOne? On a recent Oracle World Upgrade call, a current World customer told their tale about staying with World.
