Introduction
What is JD Edwards World? JD Edwards (JDE) World is Oracle's enterprise resource planning (ERP)
software currently used by more than 2,000 companies around the world. JDE World has been around for
more than 30 years, and the thousands of companies that utilize the software today, do so in a variety of
industries. The success of Oracle JD Edwards software is arguably due to its reliability, functionality, and
flexibility.

Reliability
JD Edwards World has a reliable record, and the numbers received from customers proves it. The
software quality of JDE World has stayed consistently above 99 percent, with system availability staying
at a solid 99.7 percent. JDE World has also had zero viruses on IBM eServer i, a great accomplishment for
any system.

Functionality
The latest release of JD Edwards World includes 1,200+ enhancements and some new products, such as a
new warranty and service module. With all releases, Oracle commits to its Applications Unlimited plan,
which includes Oracle's Lifetime Support Policy and a guarantee to deliver new releases of existing
applications for all existing products. One example of their Applications Unlimited plan is the
enhancement and support of the IBM System i platform beyond 2013, for clients who continue to use the
platform.

Flexibility
Though the facts and numbers behind JD Edwards World's reliability and functionality seem impressive,
it all boils down to the question: Is this software right for my business? Oracle's software is branded as a
full-range solution that meets all your needs, and indeed, JD Edwards World is not only comprehensive, it
is flexible; it is the prime example of enterprise integration. Though the software is not necessarily sold as
a "one-fits-all solution," it's rather a customizable solution for your business; it can be tailored to your
needs. For example, the architecture of the software allows you make modifications to menus, reporting,
security, etc. without the high cost. Also, since changes are easy, information is more readily accessible to
all those who need it (customers, employees, etc.).
