Revista Profit: Número especial sobre JD Edwards

Your JD Edwards special issue of Profit is now available here.

That’s a sizable chunk of my nearly 18 years as an Oracle employee. But that’s how long I’ve been producing this special issue of Profit, dedicated to Oracle’s JD Edwards technology and the JD Edwards community. It’s also an interesting span for the enterprise software business, basically the dawning of the era of enterprise cloud.

With this JD Edwards special issue, we set out to share compelling examples of JD Edwards technology in a modern cloud environment. Along the way, a few themes emerged that, I think, do a pretty good job summarizing the state of IT affairs for the JD Edwards community.

Change is inevitable. Our cover story has upheaval as its backdrop, detailing the IT strategy of an Egyptian resort that operated through the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak in 2011. Along with Rob Preston's look at the shift toward a service-based economy, these stories remind us that change is a reality we must consider in all of our endeavors.

Incremental is OK. The prospect of introducing cloud technology when and where it makes sense is a boon for executives who want to be strategic about their IT investments.

Integration is Key. To make that incremental approach possible, you have to be able to connect JD Edwards applications to other Oracle Cloud applications.
