Oracle has announced general availability of
JD Edwards World A9.1, delivering more than
1,250 enhancements to improve operations and reduce integration
costs.
As part of the new release, Oracle has delivered new module
Service and Warranty Management.
This provides functionality for managing, defining and executing
service and warranty contracts, allowing customers to record
service contracts, accept returns of materials for repair, execute
repair orders and bill repair costs to customers, if
necessary.
The latest release includes enhancements to the JD Edwards World
Quality Management System, to help customers identify areas where
failures occur, reduce the costs of unused materials and increase
customer satisfaction by improving overall product quality.
With JD Edwards World A9.1, Oracle has also simplified the
upgrade and retrofitting process with new tools.
Customers can create a report that compares their current source
code to the new release, helping to predict what custom code can be
eliminated and what may be needed for a retrofit.
Another new tool compares the configuration settings of the
customer’s existing release with the new release. Because data
clean-up is important for efficient operations as well as upgrades,
this release also includes new tools to archive data and identify
versions of reports that are no longer needed.
The JD Edwards World web interface now also supports a Java
deployment to ease installation, improve performance and create a
unified look and feel.
In addition, a new Dynamic Build feature, embedded in the Java
software, allows custom panels to be automatically converted to
display in a web browser.
JD Edwards World A9.1 is currently available for traditional
deployment and on demand via Oracle On Demand services.
Oracle has also just upgraded its Siebel CRM On Demand
product with Release 14.
