Oracle rolls out updates to JD Edwards ERP applications

23.04.2012

In addition, the software now has localizations for 18 countries, Oracle said.

Oracle also announced the availability of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.1 on Monday.

A highlight of the release is OneView reporting, a set of nearly 180 prebuilt reports that pull data from across the EnterpriseOne landscape and allow end users to tap into them without help from IT, according to Oracle. "What we really did was build out a bunch of super-inquiries that take some of the obscurity out of the data model, so they don't have to deal with that," said Lyle Ekdahl, group vice president and general manager of JD Edwards, in an interview.

EnterpriseOne's user experience also got an upgrade, including a predictive "auto-suggest" search function and the ability to "hover" over parts of a screen to reveal more data without leaving the page.

The release includes industry-specific improvements as well, including tools that allow project manufacturers "to review all related supply orders impacting an end customer order to help ensure the project stays on track," Oracle said.
