The reasons why more and more organizations continue to acquire the J.D.
Edwards solution are based upon the flexibility, the simplicity, and the adaptability
of the company’s products unmatched by any of its competitors. The solutions
listed below provide direct benefits to the customer:
Integrated Solutions
J.D. Edwards’ software helps streamline customers’ businesses by providing
the capability to implement and view real-time information updates across the
organization. This allows customers to access and utilize consistent and
current information, and keep up with the speed of change.
Network-Centric Computing
When change in an organization’s operation is necessary, J.D. Edwards’
network-centric architecture allows customers to write the change once and
safely deploy the change across their entire organization. With this kind of
flexibility and adaptability, customers can maximize performance.
Tools
With tools such as ActivEra, you remain in control of your business and your
system remains the solution. With the ability to modify your system on the fly,
both during and after implementation, your organization can respond to
market changes and put ideas into action with the greatest of ease.
ActivEra's tools and technologies extend the capabilities of all J.D. Edwards’
software. Business activators allow your business professionals to put new
ideas into practice without programmer involvement. And technology
activators enable your technical professionals to streamline management of
your system's infrastructure. With ActivEra, everyone in your organization can
turn ideas into action.

OnTrack, its new implementation approach and toolset. Providing a vast array
