The Customer’s Problem
The Situation:
• Current IT architecture no longer able to deliver performance, availability required
• Concerns on legacy server/storage vendor’s product roadmaps
• Regulations (FASB Standard) driving requirement to upgrade to JD Edwards 9.1
• Older version of JD Edwards more costly to support
The Goal:
• A new system and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.1
The Issue:
• Vast array of server/storage choices
• Flat IT budget
• How to select the best option for their business
• Determine best practices, certifications, etc.
• Current IT staff already over subscribed
