Drees Homes Transforms ERP System with JD Edwards Upgrade and Cloud Migration

Drees Homes, a leading residential homebuilder, seamlessly upgraded to a modern ERP with Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.2, Release 24, transitioning to OCI as a foundation for future growth.

The Client

Drees Homes is a leading residential homebuilder in the United States, with operations in the Midwest, Southeast, and Southwest regions.

Drees was running on an outdated JD Edwards platform. Recognizing the limitations of their current system, they sought to modernize their technology infrastructure to better support business growth, enhance operational efficiency, and prepare for future innovation.

Drees Homes needed to:

  • Upgrade to a modern and supported ERP platform
  • Transition to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for scalability and reliability
  • Leverage new tools like Orchestrations and User Defined Objects for enhanced data flow and communication

The Challenge

Drees Homes was operating on an outdated version of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne (9.1), which lacked the modern capabilities needed to support their growth and operational efficiency.

Additionally, the company’s legacy infrastructure posed scalability challenges and hindered integration with external systems.

It was important to the company to transition to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as a foundation for future growth. The upgrade to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.2 was seen as a key step in enhancing communications and data flows using updated toolsets.

Our Solution

Terillium partnered with Drees Homes to execute a “like-for-like” upgrade from JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.1 to 9.2, Release 24.

Terillium was able to:

  • Successfully transition Drees from an on-premise infrastructure to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
  • Provide strategic recommendations for business process improvements and opportunities to leverage advanced JD Edwards tools such as UX One and Orchestrator.
  • Ensure the seamless reconnection and functionality of dozens of integrations.
  • Identify paths to reduce customizations for improved efficiency.
Partnering with Terillium for our JDE upgrade and migration to OCI was a crucial step for us as we continue to drive transformation throughout our business. The team’s expertise and strategic recommendations were invaluable in ensuring a seamless transition while laying the groundwork for future growth and innovation.
