Our extensive experience with large customers and large programs around JD Edwards has given us the industry leading expertise to be part of some of the largest Global Rollouts in the JD Edwards industry. This exposure has perfected our ability to deliver results consistently. In addition, our Results Oriented Methodology (9E-ROM) has been refined from all the lessons learnt from this rich experience.

Often misunderstood and misdiagnosed, Global Model Design, Build and Rollout projects have the highest probability of failure, typically because of a roller-coaster and lengthy lifecycle which is unmindful of the market changes and time to value realities of a business. Our unique approach addresses many such critical elements to ensure success of the overall program.

Designed around expanding your existing footprint, this area of our services is to assist you in adding new modules and features in & around JD Edwards. Our experts can seamlessly understand your requirements and design & build the right configurations into the system. We offer flexibility in our engagement where few clients leverage our expertise only for the design pieces, while others engage us for the entire lifecycle.
