With a change of scenery, COLLABORATE19 attendees chose from more than 1000 educational sessions, networked with JD Edwards professionals and other users and got a first look into what’s coming for enterprise software. Missed the keynote? Review the highlights below in our COLLABORATE19 recap.

Digital transformation can significantly alter the value equation of an organization. We’re at a stage in the marketplace where waiting is not an option. Our industry is constantly changing – If companies don’t adapt to the vastly evolving industry, they’ll become stagnant with no growth. Change is inevitable and it’s time to maximize digitization.

Lyle Ekdahl, senior vice president and general manager of Oracle JD Edwards, also highlighted five customer success stories that successfully showcased the power of digital transformation. JD Edwards applications create business growth advantages by digitizing.

“Move beyond strategy to transformation that enables digital change.”

– Lyle Ekdahl, Senior Vice President of Oracle JD Edwards

With continuation of Oracle’s premier support for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne through at least 2030, they’ve released a new digital strategy to help make the most of your Oracle investments:

• Orchestrator will continue to be the center of mobile development universe with continuous expansion.
• Delivering simplification and enablement to design mobile applications ourselves, without a professional developer.
• Providing more opportunity and involvement with our customers, through our mobile strategy.

By focusing on a strategy you’re trying to implement to your business, JD Edwards is here to help accelerate your organization towards a transformation in the digital economy. To watch the keynote in full:

This year at COLLABORATE 19 in San Antonio, Texas, we hosted 13 sessions (including two deep dive workshops) on Oracle applications.

To help you accelerate towards a transformation in the digital economy, our sessions covered key themes for utilizing new tools available within UX One, leveraging your Orchestrator capabilities, and uncovering the value of investing in upgrades.

Success requires you not only to think about what your innovation philosophy is or what your strategy should be, but more importantly what outcomes are you trying to deliver. Make the most of your business strategies – please feel free to contact us for copies of our sessions or for more information.

COLLABORATE is a great conference for not only the educational opportunities but the networking opportunities as well. Quest hosts many networking events, as do vendors. We tested our odds with some Texas Hold ’em, enjoy some ice-cold Terillium root beer, and some good ole conversation at our western booth – The Terillium Tavern.

This year Terillium – along with partners Redfaire International, Canon CIIS, AllOut Security, Comdata, Essentio, ReportsNow and RF-SMART – hosted 200 COLLABORATE attendees at the The Briscoe Western Art Museum. We had fantastic views of the historic San Antonio River Walk, an open bar, great food, but the company was the highlight!

The fun doesn’t stop there – Save the date for INFOCUS19. Register today for the premier deep-dive JD Edwards focused event of the year, August 20 – 22. We hope to see you there!
