OUGUK conference success
Whitehouse Consultants presented winning topics and discussed their recent award - UK Oracle User Group JD Edwards Partner of the year gold award.
Winning topics with JDE customers at the conference were:
Y-Upgrade
What's in it for my organisation should be the question we are asking when Oracle comes knocking with the latest World and EnterpriseOne releases. Is it just a box of new whizz-bangs or does the proposed upgrade offer measurable business benefits? If you want to convince your management to upgrade then look past the "tech stuff" and seek out the competitive advantage.
Workflow
A strategy for automating business processes – that’s what they say! You knew it was there in your JDE Toolset but have you ever really got it out of the bag for a closer look? Come to a demo where in simple steps we show how to use this tool and create one of these mythical beasts of the competitive advantage jungle.
