The JDE Connection

In this episode, Chandra and Paul kick off the new year with a discussion about JD Edwards' mobile app strategy. They address a frequently asked question: why doesn't JD Edwards offer more mobile apps? Paul explains that JD Edwards shifted from providing a suite of mobile apps to an "enablement strategy," allowing customers to build their own fit-for-purpose mobile solutions using tools like Orchestrator and Oracle Visual Builder. The hosts highlight the continued availability of a PO Approval mobile app and encourage listeners to submit ideas for new apps via Oracle's enhancement request process. 04:16 JDE Shifts to Enablement Strategy 09:31 Streamlining Integration Through Orchestrator 10:35 The One Mobile App JDE has 12:11 Learn JDE Mobile Platform and Solutions 14:00 PO Approvals in the Product Catalog 17:40 Midwesternism Resources Learn JDE – Mobile Platform and Solutions: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E84502_01/learnjde/mobile.html JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Mobile Strategy: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?_afrLoop=392297712248224&id=2652952.1&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrlstate=wjgjptbmd_4 Getting Started with Oracle Visual Builder and Orchestrator for JD Edwards: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/learning-path/getting-started-with-visual-builder-and-orchestrator-for-jd-edwards/128274 PO Approval Mobile Application: https://apexapps.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=103254:8:121656864344537::NO::P8_FEATURE_ID,P8_PRODUCT_ID,P8_LAYER_ID:263789653039579542459653088815394116340,208136276869697198410960926144257606832,208126803266041475109735961320172569774 Convert PO Approval Mobile Progressive Web Application (PWA) to Web PWA App: https://apexapps.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=103254:8:121656864344537::NO::P8_FEATURE_ID,P8_PRODUCT_ID,P8_LAYER_ID:77131914658374572604531825412304839676,208136276869697198410960926144257606832,208126803266041475109735961320172569774
