With a long history in the ERP market, JD Edwards (JDE) has offered deep and comprehensive functionality that has enabled many companies to manage their diverse operations for over 50 years. These companies face increasing pressure to modernize from vendors, shareholders, boards, and those competing for market share.
And while modernization strategies can make room for vital new business opportunities, it’s important to understand the common misconceptions surrounding digital transformation today so that you’re not simply upgrading the same old problem set.
Myth 1
Some disruption is inevitable, but incremental modernization reduces downtime and allows your business to focus on the most immediate business needs first.
Myth 2
Digital modernization is no longer a “nice to have.” Adding an EAP allows JDE to remain at the core of your business while uncovering opportunities to enhance visibility, automate workflows, and remove inefficiencies.
Myth 3
An EAP allows for unlimited customizations while maintaining the core integrity of your JDE instance, and without worrying about future updates, upgrades, or changes in technology.
Myth 4
Using point solutions to meet your specific business requirements can be a strategic move, but your tech stack is only as good as its ability to work cohesively.
Myth 5
With an enterprise-level no-code solution, employees in any department can become Citizen Developers – business users with little to no coding experience who build purpose-driven applications and solutions.
While there are challenges associated with the process of modernizing legacy ERP software, leveraging an EAP can bridge the functional gaps, dispel myths, and facilitate a successful transition. By embracing modern solutions, your business can unlock the full potential of your JDE system and drive long-term growth and success. Ready to learn more?
