IBM i / AS400 and JD Edwards World

Introducing any third-party tools to your system, like WMS, CRM, MQ Series, or EDI, will affect the logistics of making changes to either your AS/400 or World environments, especially when you need to upgrade either system. Work with a support team that is experienced in both technologies.

JDE World and IBM i IOS Upgrade

Challenges:  The company was running JD Edwards World A8.1 primarily for financials; their month-end corporate consolidations and reporting, fixed assets, and accounts payable.

To maintain the existing complex financial consolidation system, improve the web interface,  and improve system processing times, they needed to upgrade to JD Edwards World A9.3.

Solutions:  Execute a critical system modernization, upgrading their JD Edwards ERP to version A9.3 and updating their operating system to IBM OS 7.1.

This successful technical transformation delivered significant business benefits, including shorter program run times and a faster financial close process. Ultimately, the project improved overall system efficiencies and provided a stable foundation for future growth.
