JD Edwards Software and Implementation Services


According to the latest CIO study published by IBM in September 2009, Business Intelligence and Analytics are the two top priorities for CIOs for 2009 and 2010.



We all know how difficult it can be to get data out of any ERP system for meaningful reporting and analytics. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne offers a choice of databases (SQL-Server, DB2 and Oracle), operating systems and hardware. It offers 70 application modules to support a diverse set of business operations.

There are several report options within EnterpriseOne which may satisfy power users and analysts. Oracle suggests its JD Edwards Enterprise One users to use their BI Publisher for enhanced reporting and BI functionality.

The following paragraph is directly taken from the Oracle Datasheet for BI Publisher and explains the integration overview:

To generate process driven reports, a customer will create or use an existing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne report to generate XML. A BI Publisher template will be created, uploaded, and associated with a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne report. This new report definition allows users to associate different templates and translations to the existing report. This report definition automates the reporting process from the initiation of the report to the delivery of the final output. For analysts initiated inquiries, these queries can be developed directly in BI Publisher using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne driver. This allows users access to the JD EnterpriseOne data and execute the reports using the BI Publisher interface without the need of an EnterpriseOne UBE.

So, does this sound easy enough for you to create a business intelligence solution for your company, particularly if you do not have internal access to this expertise or do not want to pay huge amounts of consulting fees for external consultants and other costs involved with such a process? I don't think so.

This is the reason why there are several third party reporting and analytics tools available for JD Edwards. We always recommend a solution which includes proper ETL functionality to build a data warehouse or data mart, programmatically creates OLAP cubes which can be used by any front-end tool.



BDA (Business Data Analysis) is such a reporting and analysis tool which offers a data warehouse with pre-defined interfaces for many JD Edwards applications and it comes with a fantastic front-end analysis tool. Analysis applications like sales analysis can be built in a matter of days and the pricing is very attractive and fits into the current economy where budgets are tight, but better information is needed.

JD Edwards Implementation


As a president of an ERP consulting Services Company specialized in J.D. Edwards implementation, I had the chance to meet a lot of people who were bragging to be good JDE developer. The real life prove me that most of the time, people were lying. In fact, this is a great deal to find a real professional in this area. As a former trainer for Jd Edwards Montreal, I had the chance to teach to different people with different background and I can assure you that the most dangerous resources are the one that know how to do development in any other languages than an ERP one. J.D. Edwards developer learning curve is impressive. In order to become a good junior developer in JDE, you need at least three or four years of experiences....Otherwise... are you searching JD Edwards Service Provider?



In my past ERP trainings, I explained the phases that a developer needs to apply in order to have the capacity to become one of the Pros in is industry...instead of being a Charlatan. The first point, for me, is the most important. "Integrity and Honesty". Please, say the truth. This is a new time and what if...I can propose a NEW WAY to do JDE technical consulting? Before creating my own company, I worked for a very high reputation firm in Montreal. Unfortunately, I was not involved in the hiring process but I was in charge of the development team. The bottom line was that in rush time, the so called JDE developers that were assign on my team were not good. They were able to full the HR hiring process with their level of experiences with OTHER languages and each time, they were not able to do the job. As a team leader, I was the one who was talking to the client and making specs for the team. It was so obvious to feel the lack of expertise in my new arrivals when I was explaining the work to accomplish. Absolutely everything can be done with the JDE development tools. If someone tried to propose something outside JDE, be on your guard. In fact, this is a small example of what can destroy a win-win situation between a client and his consulting services. Are you looking JDE Implementation Services?

Having a high level of Integrity and Honesty should be the only way to do business. It will bring a win-win situation and the client will always turn to you when he will need high quality services for his need...NOT more. Here some successful point to remember about Integrity and Honesty in a B2B deal:
1.        Win-Win situation
2.        Confidence between partners
3.        Reliability
4.        Truth on the real needs...
5.        Respect
6.        Loyalty
7.        Credibility
8.        Success
9.        Durability

A NEW WAY to do business, the only way. Find these qualities with your staff or your consulting services and you will add tremendous value to your enterprise.
