Planning Your JD Edwards Upgrade

Upgrading Your JDE

Businesses on an older version (pre-9.2) need to go through a traditional JDE upgrade process to get to the latest release. It’s a bigger initiative, a lot has changed between JDE 9.1 and the latest release.

If your company is on EnterpriseOne 9.2 – it’s a “mini-upgrade” process to get to Release 27. A mini-upgrade is not a major event, but certain things need to be tested from an integration standpoint. We can help do this using Orchestrator for some automated testing. We can also help you come up with a continuous improvement schedule to do these mini-upgrades and more.


JDE “Mini” Upgrade Process

Upgrading to the latest release ensures your business can leverage new features, security enhancements, and performance improvements.

Here’s an overview of our upgrade process for businesses on 9.2 that want to move to the latest release:

Assessment & Planning

Evaluate your current environment and identify customizations and third-party integrations that need to be tested. Develop a detailed upgrade plan that includes timelines, resource allocation, and risk management strategies.


Infrastructure Refresh

Consider upgrading your infrastructure to cloud-based solutions to enhance scalability and reduce costs. Assess compatibility with 64-bit systems and ensure all third-party applications are compatible with the new environment​.


Code Freeze & Testing

Implement a code freeze to limit modifications during the upgrade process, ensuring stability and reducing the risk of introducing new issues. Use JD Edwards Orchestrator for automated testing to streamline the validation of business processes and integrations​


Upgrade Execution

Conduct thorough testing of all business processes, customizations, and integrations to ensure they function correctly in the new environment. Perform the upgrade, applying the latest tools and applications releases.


Continuous Adoption

Establish a continuous improvement schedule to regularly apply updates and enhancements, minimizing disruption and ensuring your system remains current.


Our experiences with Terillium over the last six or more years, including this upgrade to Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.2 UX One, has been phenomenal. The success of the project was directly related to the experienced, reliable resources Terillium delivered to the project.”

The Latest JDE Release: JD Edwards Release 27

Technology & Platform Updates

Release 27 is expected to move JD Edwards toward a 64-bit-only environment at both the Tools and application layers, along with a significant Java modernization from Java 8 to Java 21. Customers should begin evaluating customizations, integrations, Java dependencies and other components that could require compatibility testing or remediation.

The release also continues the modernization of the infrastructure supporting JDE, with older technologies including Solaris, AIX and full WebSphere being retired or phased out. WebSphere Liberty will remain supported.


Redwood User Experience

Release 27 will introduce the Oracle Redwood user experience to JD Edwards, bringing updated fonts, colors and a more modern look and feel. The transition is designed to minimize disruption, with existing fast paths, Event Rules and business logic remaining intact.

For organizations using both JD Edwards and Oracle Fusion Cloud, Redwood also creates a more consistent visual experience across their Oracle applications.


JD Edwards and the Future of AI

Release 27 also points toward the next phase of JD Edwards modernization with a planned MCP server for JD Edwards. This could create new opportunities for AI-enabled workflows and automation and help JDE participate in the broader agentic AI ecosystem.

Release 27 is another step toward modernizing the JDE platform while protecting the stability and business processes organizations already rely on.

JDE Cloud Hosting

Moving JDE to the Cloud

There are many advantages that come with hosting JD Edwards in the cloud. The top reasons businesses make the move are to improve performance and scalability while reducing overall costs. By leveraging cloud infrastructure, you can significantly improve your IT agility, deploying resources more efficiently and scaling operations dynamically based on demand.

Migrating JD Edwards to the cloud not only modernizes your IT infrastructure but also provides a foundation for future growth and innovation. Our team can guide you through the migration process, ensuring a seamless transition and maximizing the benefits of cloud hosting for your business.

Flexibility

Cloud platforms provide on-demand resource scaling, ensuring that your JDE environment can handle varying workloads without a decline in system performance. This flexibility allows businesses to scale up during peak times and scale down when demand decreases, optimizing resource utilization and hosting costs​.

Cost Efficiency

Cloud hosting eliminates the need to invest in physical hardware, and reduces ongoing maintenance costs. Cloud hosting can be more predictable as far as cost, and can help lower overall IT expenses.

Security

Cloud providers offer robust security measures, including encryption, regular security updates, and compliance with industry standards. These features help protect sensitive data and ensure compliance, providing peace of mind for businesses operating in various sectors.

Diaster Recovery

Cloud hosting provides superior disaster recovery solutions with automated backups and geographically distributed data centers. This ensures business continuity and minimizes downtime in the event of a disaster, enhancing overall system resilience.​

Updates

Cloud environments can facilitate automatic updates and maintenance, ensuring that your JDE system is always running on the latest version with the most recent features and security patches. This reduces the burden on internal IT teams and ensures optimal system performance​.
