Upgrading your JDE

Benefits of Staying Code Current and Upgrading JD Edwards

Businesses on an older version (pre-9.2) need to go through a traditional JD Edwards upgrade 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 25. 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.

Upgrading to the latest release ensures your business can leverage new features, security enhancements, and performance improvements. Here’s an overview of the upgrade process:
