Get More Out of Your JD Edwards Maintenance Investment

Get More Out of Your JD Edwards Maintenance Investment

When Oracle announced a “cloud first” approach to new applications development, they left many JD Edwards customers questioning the future of their JDE applications and their customizations. Tune into this recurring webinar to get the latest news and best practices as you make decisions about your roadmap.

This webinar will be important if your organization is:

  • On JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and upgrading just to maintain support – or – no longer upgrading and therefore questioning the value for their ongoing maintenance dollar investments
  • On JD Edwards World and feeling forced pressure to migrate to EnterpriseOne
  • Any JDE customer evaluating a lock-in with Oracle Cloud as a rip-and-replace strategy
  • Any JDE customer running the IBM Technology Foundation (a.k.a. Blue Stack) and deciding your next move.

Jason Kotsaftis, Sr. Director, Product Marketing and Ray Grigsby, VP of Global JDE Service Delivery at Rimini Street provide real-world examples of how customers are deciding their next move and answer questions in this 30-minute session.Watch this webinar and get the answers you need to start innovating today!
