Deploying JD Edwards EnerpriseOne Web-Based Applications

Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is an integrated applications suite of comprehensive, industry-specific tools. The suite is oriented towards small and medium sized businesses. Applications include management tools for finance, asset lifecycle, projects, supply chain, and human capital. Each tool within the suite has a similar look and feel for enhanced productivity and reduced cost, and has seamless integration with each other. All interfaces are fully Web-based providing for user access and delivery of data directly to any standard Web browser, without the need for client-side agents.
Global business operations demand that application usage originally designed to run on a LAN must work across the WAN with no significant hit to throughput, latency or ease-of-use. Datacenter consolidation, geographic dispersion of users, and the security concerns of using a public network require IT to ensure that an application such as EnterpriseOne works as if the telecommuter, consultant, or design center employee is local. While webification theoretically allows application use by anyone anywhere with a browser, in actuality many hurdles must be overcome including the following:

  • Latency associated with worldwide communications results in slow user/server sessions and diminished user experience.
  • Server availability and the need for efficient redirection of user requests to appropriate resources.
  • Transmission inefficiencies resulting from “chatty” protocols.
  • The increasing trend of the perforated enterprise security perimeter may expose Web servers and Web-based applications to unknown attacks.
  • Minimal insight into the cause of poor performance and no “advanced warning” of limited future communications.
