What is the Future of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne? Upgrading vs. Replacing Oracle JDE

Oracle's JD Edwards has been one of the most ubiquitous ERP software solutions in the market for over 25 years. There has been doubt about JDE's future ever since Oracle acquired the product nearly 20 years ago, but it hasn't gone away yet.

What is the future of JDE, and how should organizations decide between upgrading vs. replacing the product? This video explains.

Having worked at JDE and through the JDE/PeopleSoft/Oracle era i remember things differently.
Oracle post acquisition unlike PSFT, was very professional and business like. One of the most ethical companies I have worked for.
Oracle said they were sunsetting JDE, and started to train their consultants on EBS, and realized JDE had a large and mostly happy client base.
IMO, they saw ERP as a commodity product and JDE could help sell Oracles higher margin products, like database and middleware.
So back in 05-07 time they committed to supporting JDE a long period of time. They also realized that JDE had technology that was far in advance of either PSFT or EBS. JDE sales order entry served as a model for their next gen product.
Oracle is run by investment bankers and all their businesses need to contribute equally. Features are added if it will help sell software.
Buying selling and keeping track is pretty basic, if you need to do something that will provide your business an advantage (via software) then you build or buy it and integrate it.
This speech sounds like some something he memorized from PWC.
I can think of lots of reasons to not use JDE, but is a great mid market product for those who can’t afford the likes of Mr Kimberling.
As for “cosmetic” and workflow enhancements, that is where a lot of value can be added. JDE 92 will let users add fields to a form, within reason, as an example, an area where much time and resources were formerly spent.
You’d have to actually spend time using the product to understand that though, rather than making speeches that might have been relevant in the mid to late 90s.

I think this video needs an update.
Oracle has already extended the roadmap till 2033 and now it has come with much more than "cosmetic" changes.
It has already added a powerfull low code tool (Orchastrations) which allows to atomate processes and conect JDE by the use of APIs.
It has also announced BI and AI tools for the comming years.
Low code, BI and AI are top technologies most ERPs still don´t have

Same story can be said for Oracle E-Business Suite R12; only roadmap to 2030

Oracle is doing a very bad job with the strategy of selling Oracle cloud which is a substandard ERP, arm twisting JDE/ PSFT/EBS customers to move to Oracle cloud. Oracle cloud is neither a full blown ERP nor it is built based on business logic, with too many bugs, I see Oracle going downhill with Cloud ERP.

JD Edwards is way too complicated for new staff to learn

[timothywgray]

Right. Oracle once bought out Sun Microsystems, promised they would keep it, then shut it down, and kept only the Java licensing. So who knows what will happen to JDE.

JDE sucks so bad. It's the least user friendly interface I've ever touched.

Eric is just trying to create doubt in JDE users with the goal they will pay him consulting fees
