Hi Folks,
One of the biggest Projects our company is currently considering is centralizing
all JD Edwards instances in US. We have about 16 different instances of JD Edwards
at different locations in US. This project is quite complex on its own but what makes
it more complex is - Most of the locations are on World Software(they may or may not
be on the same version) and a couple of them are on One World B7332. The modules
implemented are mainly - Distribution, Manufacturing and Financials. There is
quite a bit of customization at every location for standard JDE stuff and also custom
programs and reports for their business needs.
We would like to centalize everything on to OneWorld XE and probably get JDE web enabled.
Now, All you oneWorld experts -- please take some time and share your experiences if you
have worked on something similar.
Also, I am listing certain key points for us below. Pls try to answer to the best of your
knowledge.
1) Do you know any company which has done something similar in the past?
2) One of the big JDE partners which might drive this project is considering 2 options
a) Develop and Test everything related to this project in US.
b) Develop at a offshore facility in India and Test it in US.
This option is being seriously considered because its going to be cost-efficient.
Now, we would like to know what would be the possible pros/cons of going with each option.
Please consider all possible factors such as response time(especially if it is done
offshore), cost, time frame, complexity and other factors which could influence
the decision.
