Hi All!
Currently i have 4 separate AS400 systems that serve 4 countries with JDEdwards ERP 8.0. This solution has been serving us for 10 years now.
My BI tool of choice is IBM Cognos and ETL tool is SSIS. data Warehouse is on SQL Server.
We want to move to a centralised 9.1 system that will serve all 4 countries in one installation. Languages involved are Greek,Cyrillic and Latin, so Unicode is a requirement,
I want to know what are my architectural options for going there..
I know the question is vague but i am not looking right now for details. Rather i am looking where to start.
In my mind i see these options:
Infrastructure:
AS400
Microsoft based solution (Windows OS, SQL Server)
Unix OS - Oracle DB
Windows OS - Oracle DB
Presentation/ User Delivery:
We are currently using Citrix metaframe to deliver JDE to all of our users (total : ~500)
Personally i dont really like staying to AS400 mainly because its limiting factor to cost saving and disaster recovery is limited to mainly on-premises solution.
What are your opinions? Are there any documents for someone to have an informed decision about how to start this?
