Datavail at Infocus 2023

At Infocus 2023, Datavail had a phenomenal week filled with great connections and shared goals among the Oracle community.

The tiki theme we chose brought a vibe of joy and relaxation, creating a memorable spot for attendees.

We hope you relive the happy memories and the excitement that our team brought to the conference.

JD Edwards Product Update and Roadmap Keynote – Release 23 and Beyond

The Oracle JD Edwards product team announced Release 23 and introduced a three-pronged approach to their future product strategy. They emphasized their commitment to delivering cumulative value and the importance of innovation, especially in building intelligence, to meet transformation initiatives successfully.

Intelligence from Enterprise Automation – Identify and Eliminate Bottlenecks

Leveraging data from your EnterpriseOne system through Workflows, Orchestrations, Notifications, and Extensibility fosters automation that can eliminate inefficiencies in your business processes. JD Edwards is investing in this area to help facilitate:

• A full cycle automation platform for business process improvement discovery, analysis, and implementation
• Streamlining business processes by removing inefficiencies and blind spots

Intelligence from the Cloud – Provides Better Insights and Predictions

Analytics has always been integral within JD Edwards, traditionally focusing on operational analytics integrations in BI. Oracle is now extending these capabilities to be more forward-looking. With cloud integration, strategic long-term planning can be enhanced by leveraging data for better foresight. Release 22 and Release 23 started this journey by utilizing machine learning for data aggregations. The goal is to provide:

• Cloud applications and services with embedded Intelligence and Machine Learning
• Real-time insights, predictions, and recommendations to end-users

Intelligence from Autonomous Systems – Helps End Traditional Patching Cycle and Empowers IT Staff

JD Edwards is incorporating Oracle’s investment in Autonomous systems from databases to Web Logic into EnterpriseOne. These developments aim to produce an entirely Autonomous System that harmonizes with cloud apps. The benefits include:

• Self-managing systems to end the cycle of monitor, patch, deploy, and tune
• Proactive discovery and repair capabilities to reduce human error and unburden IT staff

As Oracle JD Edwards plans beyond Release 23, they are dedicated to providing continuous value and exploring new digital platform avenues to support organizational transformation initiatives.
