Integration is the engine behind “Digital Transformation”
During the past few years, due to the important role of integration in information technology, there has been a modernization of information technology, especially in Big Data and Analytics, Cloud Computing, and mobile IT.
Businesses using Oracle JD Edwards are not exceptions. Companies often need to integrate other applications and systems such as EDI System, CRM, SCM, PLM, and eCommerce.
EDI2XML offers a complete integrated solution on both JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and JD Edwards World, using certified connectors from Oracle themselves. Thanks to the Magic xpi Integration Platform and the partnership of Magic Software with Oracle for the connectors certification!
When Integration with JDE is essential?
There are several scenarios when a company would consider automation and integration, and it is beneficial:
a) Processes improvement
Companies are in a constant search for better ways to do business; integrating the company’s systems and process will benefit the company with the following:
- Improvement of employees’ efficiency and their performance
- Reduction in human errors
- Increase in the speed of data collection
- Improvement of the quality of information within a company’s system
- Obviously, at the end of the day, all of the above will have a positive impact on the company’s bottom line.
b) External trends
The development and the business need to accommodate “External trends” is another driving factor for integration:
- Cloud-based systems and technology
- Mobile applications
- IoT (Internet of Things) projects
c) Answering to Clients’ or suppliers’ requirements and expectations
Often companies dealing with several important clients, cannot reject a request from a client to exchange information and integrate data electronically.
d) Companies merger, acquisition, and growth
It has been very common in today’s business reality, to see lots of mergers and acquisitions of companies. This kind of business operation will create an urgent need to consolidate data and perhaps centralize data from different sources.
The same need can arise due to the company’s growth and expansion, where data needs to be centralized, activities need to be orchestrated at the system level.
e) Heterogeneous systems
Another typical scenario where integration becomes crucial for a company is when it is overgrown with various systems and applications that are not interconnected. (i.e. CRM, ERP, e-Comm, PLM, WMS, etc.)
