Oracle Jd Edwards summit 2016

The event Oracle Jd Edwards summit 2016:

Para quem não conhece, ou ainda não teve a oportunidade de participar, o Oracle JD Edwards Summit é uma reunião organizada pela Oracle, para toda a comunidade de partners JD Edwards. Durante uma semana são oferecidas diversas palestras e workshops para apresentação das novidades liberadas no ERP, bem como o planejamento futuro das novas versões (roadmap do produto). Todo ano, apesar do frio, p Oracle Jd Edwards summit sendo sediado em Broomfield, Colorado.Países do mundo inteiro participam. Este ano, havia 663 inscritos de 31 países diferentes.

Durante o Oracle Jd Edwards summit, fomos apresentados a novos conceitos; a outros, antigos, mas melhorados; a novos módulos e ao futuro planejado para o  Oracle JD Edwards.

As novidades do Oracle Jd Edwards summit 2016:

Internet of Things:

It's something that's been talked about since last year. Oracle invested in IoT Orchestrator, which allows, from the receipt of data that is in the field, to filter and transform it into valuable information for decision making. Such as, for example: measuring the temperature within a controlled environment or tracking, via GPS, the location of products throughout the supply chain and within the factory floor itself. Imagine being able to know, in advance, that the temperature of a refrigerated area where thousands of reais are stored is rising, and it needs someone to do corrective maintenance. Or being able to track your stock from leaving your warehouse to receiving it at the customer.

Mobile:

The number of mobile applications made available by Oracle has been increasing every year, and the “offline” mode of Sales Order Entry is something that is planned for the future. This is Oracle's new bet: to allow the use of mobile devices in offline mode, for several JD Edwards applications.

cloud:

A Oracle continua investindo em melhorar o ambiente cloud disponível, e acabou de lançar um novo ambiente com o mínimo de 1 OCPU, a um custo de USD 75,00 mensais.

Citizen Developer:

This new concept was born from a perception by Oracle.

Therefore, several tools were made available, minimizing the need for development during deployment.

A Oracle está incentivando a formação de “citizen developers” entre partners, pois é esperado que estejam mais preparados e assertivos para qualquer tipo de desenvolvimento, pois estão mais próximos dos clients, e consequentemente do problema.

To facilitate the adoption of this new approach, the old customizations were classified into:

a) Customizations:

They can be done by the user, such as: creating queries, formatting grids, watchlists, favorites and developing some reports using the OneView Report (OVR) tool;

b) Settings:

Que podem ser feitas também por usuários, mas com um grau maior de knowledge, usando as ferramentas de IoT Orchestrator, Page Composer, Cafe1, Hover, OVReports, e o modo Kiosk; Page Composer, é uma nova ferramenta que permite montar novas telas do JD Edwards, combinando aplicações já existentes, URLs, OneView Reports e as antigas E1 Pages (Welcome Pages) em uma única tela do sistema. Esta nova página aparece disponível, em abas, na tela de entrada do Sistema. O usuário pode compor quantas páginas julgar necessária. Lembra das antigas E1 Pages, que precisávamos montar arquivos textos, quase traduzindo os fluxos que queríamos em uma linguagem passível de ser transformada em HTML? Esqueça! Tudo agora é clique e drop, atavés da Page Composer.

Kiosk mode is a simplified way to use the system. It works for users who will only have one or a few roles within the system. With this mode, all information that will not be used “disappears” from the screen, making it as simple as possible.

C) Customizations

These will need developers and the ideal is increasingly to build spare applications to JD Edwards, which depend as little as possible on the tools available in the System, using Java, JET, MAF (mobile applications) and .NET technology. And among the new modules we have:

A module created to handle your company's stock in third parties, and can be used both in consignment operations (which is a reality for Brazil) or not. This module allows the JDEdwards user to create an issue document that represents the delivery of the goods to the third party; register the receipt of the product in the warehouse of the same third party and then, as the goods are sold, it is possible from the shipment carried out to “transform” it into a sales order to be invoiced against the customer. All these documents are based on an agreement document registered in the system.

In the future, the receipt of the third-party warehouse will be done through EDI, minimizing the work of each user to register the material received.

Work Center Load Review Calendar:

Less than a module, this is a new functionality within the Manufacturing Suite that will visually allow the user to check the planned Production Orders versus their production capacity and change and/or re-date them.

One View Financial Statement:

This is a new feature for users who already own or will license OneView Financial Report.

This new module defines row/column templates for the information that will be displayed in the report. Anyone who used FASTR in WorldSoftware or Financial Reports in E1 will recognize this legacy in OVFS.

Combining these settings will generate a new report, whose layout can be modified.

Advanced Job Forecasting:

Módulo específico criado para a industry de construção com funcionalidades mais avançadas para a elaboração e acompanhamento do orçamento de um determinado projeto. Todas estas melhorias estão disponíveis a partir da Tools 9.2.0.2, de preferência a ser instalada na versão 9.2 da aplicação.

What the future holds for us:

1. IOT:  It should become a reality for companies that need to monitor equipment, track deliveries and measure machine performance.
2. Wearables: It should increasingly become a reality for companies that need to monitor their equipment, track deliveries and measure machine performance, for example. People who work outside the office are being encouraged to use equipment that can transmit valuable information directly to the System, without the need for them to return to the office for some type of manual update to the system. There is already a company in Australia in the livestock business that controls its system using smartwatches.
3.  Modern User Interface : With the ease of creating new pages and screens in the JDEdwards System, this is a future that is already knocking at our door, and we can already take advantage of these improvements.
4. Date Discovery : Uma pesquisa avançada dentro do Sistema JD Edwards está sendo desenvolvida para que, a partir de uma busca simples, por exemplo, de uma cadeia de caracteres, seja destacada na tela de entrada do sistema, qualquer informação relacionada ao texto pesquisado: clients e fornecedores incluídos no Cadastro Geral, aplicações disponíveis, entre outros.
5. Joint Venture Management : New module being developed to assist corporations that form a Joint Venture. Considering, in its operations, the percentage of participation of each company in the Joint Venture formed.
6. Cognitive Computing: How to make the computer start to “think” like a human. This is a challenging initiative that Oracle is facing. To make this a reality, it has already started a partnership with IBM.

Palavras finais sobre o Oracle Jd Edwards summit:

Also, the message from Lyle Ekdahl, Senior Vice President – JDEdwards Oracle, is that we're going to keep moving.

It's what he called the "Shark Theory".

“Discover where we are going to bet our chips: if in more specific market niches, where our advantages are recognized; or if we have to change the rule of the game, to present the customer with competitiveness beyond our competitors. "
