Measuring JD Edwards Upgrade ROI: A Case Study

Creating a business case for upgrading to the latest release of Oracle's JD Edwards is difficult for many organizations. Better user adoption through improved interface, enhanced visibility of operations through more intuitive screens, and faster response to support issues are nice to haves, but are primarily soft benefits.

Most organizations need a business case comprised of tangible, hard-dollar benefits to justify the out-of-pocket and opportunity costs of an upgrade project. Most business cases deal with three primary upgrade drivers:

Technical Upgrade
Maximize Investment
Business Process Improvements

This presentation discusses each of these drivers, how to find improvement opportunities within the key business functions, and how to quantify those opportunities in terms of costs and benefits in order to justify your JDE upgrade. This webinar features a recent upgrade business case built by a Zanett JDE customer.
