The Client

Henny Penny is a privately held, family-owned company that continues 50-years of innovation that began in Eaton, Ohio with the first commercial pressure fryer in 1957. Henny Penny’s vision for their ERP system was modeled after their products – one that is easy to operate, provides greater flexibility and lowers operating costs by:

  • Upgrading to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne version 9.1 to continue as a longtime Oracle JD Edwards customer current on support
  • Providing an open system capable of integrating to other business applications and external partners
  • Allow for business growth and global functionality to support manufacturing in China
  • Simplifying and converting hundreds of reports and configuration rules

The Challenge

Henny Penny’s products and complete start-up, service, training and technical support, are all available through their exclusive worldwide distributor network. Delivering a strategic plan to move to the latest release of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne while supporting future growth of that network was a crucial part of the journey and included:

  • Providing a roadmap to and beyond an upgrade, including improvements to Advance Pricing, Inventory Management and Transportation Management after completion of the initial upgrade project
  • Positioning the team for future benefits with an upcoming costing project
  • Decreasing server space and moving to an open platform
  • Decreasing IT maintenance by eliminating multiple platforms and databases

Our Solution

Henny Penny’s successful implementation resulted in the delivery of a platform to facilitate future business growth and was recognized by Oracle as the “Customer Success Story of the Year.” Henny Penny is now benefiting from:

  • Reduced IT cost by using open integration architecture
  • Improved end-user efficiency, taking advantage of a web-based interface with E1 pages to simplify navigation
  • Realized efficiencies in Finance with automated budgeting, positive pay features and multicurrency options
  • Automation of a manual recruiting process by implementing ERecruit
  • Increased mobility through the use of JD Edwards on the iPad
  • Enhanced system recovery from a nightly backup to the ability restore to any point in time
We have consolidated our system creating less cost and IT maintenance, provided the end-users with an intuitive interface and taken advantage of new functionality to streamline our business processes. We now have a platform for growth which has allowed us to plan for incremental projects to better manage costs and revenue in our business. I recommend Terillium to any JD Edwards customer considering an upgrade.
