Lower System Costs when Upgrading from JD Edwards iSeries Legacy Platforms
GL Associates Webinar on Thursday, January 7, 2010

December 17, 2009 – New York, NY ( USA) -- GL Associates is presenting a webinar for companies using JD Edwards World or EnterpriseOne on legacy iSeries platforms who are planning to upgrade their systems.  Dr. Steele Arbeeny, Director of Strategic Business Technologies for GL Associates, will discuss how companies are lowering their hardware and operating costs, and how they are increasing JD Edwards system performance, by moving to more robust technical platforms. “Today’s options have changed the game for JD Edwards legacy systems users.” Arbeeny said, “The benefits can be substantial, and companies need to explore how they stand to gain by adopting newer technologies.”

Dr. Arbeeny's presentation will focus on the various technical architecture options, which include processors, database and web server platforms (IBM, Oracle & Microsoft), associated costs, and migration. He will also review the features of Oracle’s Fusion Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) available in JD Edwards, which reduces development for workflow and application integration.

The webinar, Planning for Technical Infrastructure and SOA in EnterpriseOne, is scheduled for Thursday, January 7, 2010 at 1:00 PM EST.  Webinar registration is available at www.GLAssoc.com.  If there are any advance questions, or interest in other areas of GL Associates’ business systems expertise, readers are encouraged to contact Bill Glasofer at (201)451-9121 x110 or 888-GLA-6363 x110.
