With the Internet changing the face of traditional business transactions, ERP company J.D. Edwards (JDE) has outlined its vision of the Internet as "Evernet". A concept that reinforces the importance of 24-hour self-service requiring speed, tailoring of products and personalisation for each user.
JDE`s new vision was announced at the company`s "packed out" user conference held at White River last week. MD Mike Evans emphasised the fundamental changes that will occur over the next five to ten years in information technology and e-business. These changes will affect how customers` information technology systems will need to be adaptable, simpler and must be able to anticipate and conduct transactions to successfully compete in the rapidly changing economy.
"With the release of the ActivEra Portal, users will have the ability to access all the information they require from a single browser interface. This could include operational data, graphical reports, information from third party applications and other external sources," says Evans.
He added that the ActivEra Portal can be customised to suit individual user requirements.
"With the implementation of J.D. Edwards` Idea to Action software, organisations can consistently deliver more intelligent products and services, faster and achieve Return on Investment and innovation - regardless of the next change or trend", said Evans.
Simon Griffiths, marketing manager at JDE, said the user conference surpassed the company`s expectations: "We had to turn away some delegates as we were fully booked, so next year we will be hosting the user conference at an even larger venue".
