What is the Future of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne? Upgrading vs. Replacing Oracle JDE

[@johnmichelotti5373]

Having worked at JDE and through the JDE/PeopleSoft/Oracle era i remember things differently. Oracle post acquisition unlike PSFT, was very professional and business like. One of the most ethical companies I have worked for. Oracle said they were sunsetting JDE, and started to train their consultants on EBS, and realized JDE had a large and mostly happy client base. IMO, they saw ERP as a commodity product and JDE could help sell Oracles higher margin products, like database and middleware. So back in 05-07 time they committed to supporting JDE a long period of time. They also realized that JDE had technology that was far in advance of either PSFT or EBS. JDE sales order entry served as a model for their next gen product. Oracle is run by investment bankers and all their businesses need to contribute equally. Features are added if it will help sell software. Buying selling and keeping track is pretty basic, if you need to do something that will provide your business an advantage (via software) then you build or buy it and integrate it. This speech sounds like some something he memorized from PWC. I can think of lots of reasons to not use JDE, but is a great mid market product for those who can’t afford the likes of Mr Kimberling. As for “cosmetic” and workflow enhancements, that is where a lot of value can be added. JDE 92 will let users add fields to a form, within reason, as an example, an area where much time and resources were formerly spent. You’d have to actually spend time using the product to understand that though, rather than making speeches that might have been relevant in the mid to late 90s.

I think this video needs an update. Oracle has already extended the roadmap till 2033 and now it has come with much more than "cosmetic" changes. It has already added a powerfull low code tool (Orchastrations) which allows to atomate processes and conect JDE by the use of APIs. It has also announced BI and AI tools for the comming years. Low code, BI and AI are top technologies most ERPs still don´t have

Hello sir, thank you for your comment. Do you think it would still be interesting to start a career with JD Edwards? I understand from your comment that JDE still has a bright future. I live in Europe and I think here SAP is mostly the dominant ERP. Thank you a lot.

@@johncandy5222 That depends on how many years you will still have to work in IT. If the plan is only for 10 years then don't switch, just see to which ERP customers migrating, then learn the other one, let's say basics of SAP from a migration perspective then you will be considered as the best resource for this kind of migrations. The most important thing is when we all focus on ERP we are forgetting we know customer requirements and business, so doesn't matter which ERP customer will move, you know their business, so you are still important for them or for the customers in that domain space. People say the mainframe is going to be obsolete and now we are struggling for getting a mainframe guy who can help with migration. So when someone cuts a big tree, many get good furniture and other day-to-day required stuff as well. so if Oracle closes JDE then they will prove that the next tool is going to buy people will immediately take the decision to move out which will create failure pillars for Oracle as well. So one side Oracle purchasing n clean up its competitors from the market and waste billions of dollars, other side JDE developers will create another ERP to generate business as well. Nowadays creating software n selling is a good business than holding it and struggling to support it. Seems to be a startup anchor :). Sorry for the lengthy response. I just responded to whatever I am feeling. I have 20 yrs exp in IT and still learning and struggling.

@@johncandy5222 The answer is it depends. I´m a JDE analyst and I still receive a lot of calls for positions, the market is still very active. It is true though that it´s not prioritary for Oracle so the roadmap beyond 2034 is still unclear

JDEdwards: always the best option. 👍 from Colombia. 🇨🇴🇺🇸

[@KentWillumsen]

Same story can be said for Oracle E-Business Suite R12; only roadmap to 2030

[@timothywgray1]

Right. Oracle once bought out Sun Microsystems, promised they would keep it, then shut it down, and kept only the Java licensing. So who knows what will happen to JDE.

This is a good topic!

[@amitic3]

Oracle is doing a very bad job with the strategy of selling Oracle cloud which is a substandard ERP, arm twisting JDE/ PSFT/EBS customers to move to Oracle cloud. Oracle cloud is neither a full blown ERP nor it is built based on business logic, with too many bugs,I see Oracle going downhill with Cloud ERP.

[@nadeemzuberi6415]

This is exactly I said. Oracle leadership should fire before it too late

Eric is just trying to create doubt in JDE users with the goal they will pay him consulting fees

[@erickimberling]

I don’t need to create doubt for JDE users - oracle has already done that for them!

[@MrBlantons]

@@erickimberling you're obviously biased against Oracle for anything

[@erickimberling]

We are 100% independent from vendors, so I have no reason to be biased for or against any systems. Does this article I wrote look like it was written by someone who is biased against Oracle? www.thirdstage-consulting.com/the-top-10-erp-systems-for-2020/

[@nadeemzuberi6415]

@@erickimberling you are absolutely correct. Big thief is oracle itself. Their sales folks for commission creating doubts and damaging oracle itself. Customer who leaves JDE actually leave Oracle. I see Oracle future is dark. Bad leadership and management. Leadership should be fired.

JD Edwards is way too complicated for new staff to learn

[@r2dxhate]

JDE sucks so bad. It's the least user friendly interface I've ever touched.
