Oracle Unveils New Release of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne

Oracle has announced the availability of a new release of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, 8.12, which the company claims offers new modules and enhanced features to address the needs of a broad base of EnterpriseOne customers as well as functionality specifically targeted for the food and beverage market. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, 8.12 is also certified on Oracle Fusion Middleware.

A new module, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Operational Sourcing, helps automate the process of obtaining and awarding bids after a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Information (RFI) is issued. Fully integrated with all the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Supply Management solutions, the addition of operational sourcing functionality, Oracle hopes will help companies efficiently manage all phases of the supplier lifecycle, from critical sourcing decisions to supplier payments.

“Small and midsize businesses need comprehensive, affordable and flexible solutions to automate processes and drive profitable operations,” said Gartner Research Director Billy Maynard. “There continues to be strong demand among SMBs for enhanced capabilities around core Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) that help customers reduce operating costs and increase business effectiveness.”

According to an Oracle press release, "The 8.12 release helps lower the total cost of ownership by simplifying the deployment and management activities of a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne implementation. By adopting the standards-based XML format for application specifications – also referred to as metadata – key processes such as package builds and deployment are simplified."
