TECHNOLOGY GUIDE
The Automation-First Path to Modernizing JD Edwards
How IT Leaders Are Transforming ERP Operations without Replatforming
Modern Operations Don't Require A New ERP
Most organizations don't have an ERP problem. They have a process problem. Manual workflows, disconnected approvals, and outdated interfaced create friction that slows the business down and none that requires replacing your core system to fix it. This guide is built for IT and operations leaders who are ready to modernize what's on top of JD Edwards (JDE), not rip and replace what's underneath. Learn how to:
Automate Approvals
Move JDE approvals into Microsoft Teams and Power Apps to work seamlessly on desktop or mobile without a VPN, while keeping JDE the system of record.
Enable Intelligent Maintenance
Connect mobile inspections, digital checklists and automated work order triggers directly to JDE for smart asset visibility and field operations.
Modernize the User Experience
Replace complex legacy screens with intuitive, role-based interfaces built on Power Apps to improve adoption and productivity without reengineering your core system.
Build Scalable Automation
Establish a repeatable, automation-first approach that targets high-friction processes first and expands across finance, operations and field service at your own pace.
