2 J.D. Edwards’ OneWorld B73.3 and Windows Terminal Server
The reasons why more and more organizations continue to acquire the J.D.
Edwards solution are based upon the flexibility, the simplicity, and the adaptability
of the company’s products unmatched by any of its competitors. The solutions
listed below provide direct benefits to the customer:
• Integrated Solutions
J.D. Edwards’ software helps streamline customers’ businesses by providing
the capability to implement and view real-time information updates across the
organization. This allows customers to access and utilize consistent and
current information, and keep up with the speed of change.
• Network-Centric Computing
When change in an organization’s operation is necessary, J.D. Edwards’
network-centric architecture allows customers to write the change once and
safely deploy the change across their entire organization. With this kind of
flexibility and adaptability, customers can maximize performance.
• Tools
With tools such as ActivEra, you remain in control of your business and your
system remains the solution. With the ability to modify your system on the fly,
both during and after implementation, your organization can respond to
market changes and put ideas into action with the greatest of ease.
ActivEra's tools and technologies extend the capabilities of all J.D. Edwards’
software. Business activators allow your business professionals to put new
ideas into practice without programmer involvement. And technology
activators enable your technical professionals to streamline management of
your system's infrastructure. With ActivEra, everyone in your organization can
turn ideas into action.
• J.D. Edwards’ JDExpert and OnTrack
To help simplify and expedite your implementation process, J.D. Edwards
offers JDExpert, a service and implementation partner program supported by
OnTrack, its new implementation approach and toolset. Providing a vast array
of professional expertise, the JDExpert program has grown to include more
than 5,750 certified consultants facilitating rapid implementations and services
for more than half of J.D. Edwards’ new customers.
JDExpert currently comprises more than 200 business partners, including Big
Six firms, channel partners, and over 100 service partners, who are positioned
to successfully implement J.D. Edwards solutions while maintaining their
established high customer satisfaction levels. Their relationships with such a
broad range of partners allow you to leverage the latest technology and follow
the industry-practice models appropriate for your business.
Backing JDExpert is OnTrack, a set of configuration tools and methods
designed to simplify and accelerate your implementation. This new six-step
approach includes accelerated tools to provide the framework, custom-built
documentation to offer the blueprint, and classroom training to enable ongoing
mentoring. Within OnTrack is an interactive business process configuration
tool (Composer is the configuration tool; OnTrack, the methodology) called
Composer, which gives you two options for configuring your solution by
process or application. Both configuration options integrate with your current
J.D. Edwards applications and provide a graphical display of business
choices.
