Originally JD Edwards had a clear methodology that defined specific roles involved in the implementation of EnterpriseOne.
However, recently I noticed job listings for JDE CNC in the USA have essentially disappeared, while listings for developers and functional analysts still exist. I realize a lot of JDE CNC work has been shifted to other countries (India, Mexico, etc.). I have also seen some job descriptions that include JDE CNC (and even Oracle DBA) as just another set of skills, like server and middleware administration.
Assuming the current lack of JDE CNC job listings is not just part of the general hangover after the tech hiring spree during the pandemic or a normal slowdown due to recession fears:
1) Is this the natural progression of having more JDE E1 as SaaS, fewer on-premise systems, and consolidation of Oracle partners providing managed services?
2) Has the software evolved to a point where the application administration function performed JDE CNC is just another set of skills to be combined with administration of servers, database, middleware and other applications?
The ERP 9.x implementation methodology defines specific roles that are involved in the design, installation, and configuration of an ERP 9.x solution. These roles are generally divided into four implementation teams:
- Technology – installation and upgrades, system administration, security, change management
- Development – data conversions, interfaces, custom modifications
- Functional – business process, application configuration, integration and testing, end-user training
- Systems Integration – data center design, hardware support, network infrastructure, 3rd party software"
