JD Edwards to Oracle ERP Cloud Migration

Challenges the Client Faced

A long-time partner to the company, GSI stepped in at the perfect time. Dealing with an overwhelmed staff and an ongoing ERP migration project, the IT team has been experiencing delays in its response to JD Edwards and the Oracle ERP Cloud tickets (from financials applications all the way to the security modules) in a timely manner. They experienced a similar scenario during the implementation of the Oracle Cloud HCM applications and had reached out to GSI for assistance to minimize or avoid having their internal resources to go through the same rigor again. Staff members are still adjusting to the Oracle Cloud applications while supporting the current JD Edwards system and, as the project goes on, the tickets will pile up. “When we got involved, they were in need of additional resources who understand file structures, conversions and are able to cross between their current release of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and the Oracle ERP Cloud,” said Jonnel Tenorio, a GSI Senior Techno-Functional Consultant. “GSI’s team has experience with both platforms and we were able to jump in and provide a lot of value in several key areas or groups that needed assistance.”

GSI's Solution

GSI got the job done when it came to this complex conversion project. “There just aren’t that many companies that have experience with both platforms, have had experience migrating from JDE to Oracle ERP Cloud, and understand all of the data and table mappings,” said Shawn Scanlon, EVP at GSI. “It was a natural fit.” Because GSI understands both systems inside and out, it knows which terminology to apply to which platform. “It’s as if you visited a foreign country and didn’t speak the language, but you had someone there to translate for you,” Scanlon explains. “We can provide this expertise for any company that’s looking to make a similar move.”
