You’re at a Strategic Crossroads
As you approach the crossroads where you need to make a strategic decision, ask yourself:
- Is your team installing the periodic updates?
- Are you gaining enough value to see a decent ROI and justify the spend?
- Would you prefer to reclaim some of your JD Edwards IT budget for other high-priority initiatives?
- What will you do as these World deadlines approach?
- Do you have the in-house expertise to support World for the foreseeable future?
At this critical juncture, you have three options:
- Remain on Oracle’s expensive A9.4 support plan for as long as you can
- Migrate to a new ERP product
- Transition to Third-party JD Edwards Support from Spinnaker Support
The final option is your best bet: it’s by far the least expensive, lowest pressure, and safest road to travel. Here’s why.
The Way Forward: through EnterpriseOne Support You Can Trust
Spinnaker Support’s third-party JD Edwards World support replaces Oracle’s annual support with more responsive and comprehensive services for less than half the cost.
