JDEdwards summit 2012 notes

A couple of the large announcements from the partner summit from 2012.  Firstly the sheer volume of people at the summit is great, over 600 people are attending which doubles the number from last year.  There is some great energy around the product, the tools 9.1 UI is getting some major kudos, and so it should.

Product support:

A roadmap was giving which shows that JDE is going to be around until at least 2026.  I say JDE, because this announcement is for world and EnterpriseOne.  There are plans for major releases every 3 years, therefore 2012 for 9.1 apps, 2015 and 2018.  Adding 5 years of premiere support and 3 of extended, takes JDE to 2026!

Mobile Applications:

Oracle has announced a suite of mobile applications for JDE.  The official press release is here.  If you have a smart phone, android or iPhone  - then you can access specific workflow related tasks from them.  Oracle ADF underpins the applications which talk with business services.  Oracle ADF creates web based apps – not device specific apps.  Therefore they are HTML apps and are not device specific, you basically have an icon on your phone which points to your published URL.
