JD Edwards Solutions Suite

In a changing business landscape, enterprises seek more agility, and the ability to predict change and
respond proactively. While effective alignment of people, processes, data, and technology assists you in
keeping pace with evolving demands, you need an appropriate Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
solution to deliver your needs. The right implementation of Oracle’s JD Edwards application suite serves
this purpose.

As solution partners with business and technology expertise, we, at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), offer
comprehensive services for the JD Edwards solution suite. We partner with you to optimize processes and
resources, and garner business benefits through a robust deployment. We offer world-class advisory,
implementation, upgradation, and sustenance services, leveraging our accelerators, tools, and
methodologies to enable rapid implementation.

Overview Our solutions

While the JD Edwards application is capable of resolving your ERP
needs, the key to a successful implementation lies in your ability
to correctly extract maximum functionality and value from the
investment. You, therefore, seek services from a partner to align
the application to your strategic needs, and build an enterprise
that is agile, integrated, synchronized, and connected. Such a
partner also helps you address challenges such as user training,
non-adherence to change control procedures, change
management issues, and slippages and delays.
Understanding the nuances of the JD Edwards solution suite,
we bring you a well-orchestrated implementation, upgrade,
or roll out solution within time and costs boundaries. We identify
your business challenges, select the right solution, develop an
implementation roadmap, execute the solution, and support it to
meet your strategic intent. Our services bundle ready-to-use assets
and tools, which have been developed through various global
deployments, to bring you a quick and efficient implementation
and faster system benefits. Our JD Edwards capabilities also enable
us to easily and seamlessly integrate existing legacy and external
systems, providing you consistent functionalities across locations,
which result in increased levels of employee productivity
and effectiveness.
As a global System Integrator (SI), we consult with you to develop,
deploy, and efficiently implement the solution, delivering the
results you set out to achieve. We are backed by extensive industry
experience, comprehensive knowledge, and a strategic partnership
with Oracle. This has enabled us to manage and execute complex
and comprehensive JD Edwards solutions across technologies and
geographies, on time and within budget. Leveraging our ‘think,
