JD Edwards World's key point for improvement is to be more digitally enabled. It also needs to assist all the different industries more than it currently does. The lack of functionality in JD Edwards World compared to EnterpriseOne includes a lot of web-based functions that do not exist in World at all.

The user interface in JD Edwards World is very crude; I press a button to get to the application, unlike EnterpriseOne, which offers a more finished experience with dashboards. Other software like Salesforce ( /vendors/salesforce ) or Cognos ( /products/ibm-cognos-reviews ) offers a good user interface where users find it intuitive to navigate. It should be more accessible, even for those who have never interacted with JD Edwards World before.
The flexibility and ability to integrate external applications are increasingly vital. For instance, integrating Salesforce with JD Edwards or SAP ERP provides significant power. The ERP system should not be closed or difficult to integrate with other packages. Furthermore, having tools that allow for small but fast adaptations of packages is crucial, as needing skilled programmers for every minor report or mask adaptation is a constraint my customers no longer favor.
The solution could have more automation AI. We manage it in-house with a dedicated team. Any upgrades are easy to handle, provided you haven't made extensive customizations. Otherwise, retrofitting becomes an additional concern.

Improvements are needed in transitioning JD Edwards World to a more stable and reliable cloud product, particularly in terms of GDPR and data privacy compliance. Higher availability and stability are essential for the cloud version, addressing concerns regarding reliability and stability. I would suggest adding an API analyzer feature to JD Edwards World, similar to CentOS, for better understanding and monitoring of integrations. Also, reinstating Oracle meetups and consulting sessions could provide valuable insights from other users and streamline communication.
World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it. The client has used it for the past 18 or 19 years. They've outgrown World, so they want to move from World to EnterpriseOne or Fusion. The solution is out-of-date and no longer supported. It's a command-based system. Everybody these days wants a good grid to use.
One area for improvement in JD Edwards World is its pricing. It would be better if its pricing could be more affordable so that it could be available to a broader audience with the budget for it. My clients want more analytics or data analysis features from JD Edwards World.
Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore. Nobody wants to invest any more in that application.
The training initially was lacking, and the people who implemented the code are gone. The decisions were not well documented. There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support. Trying to find a solution by yourself or on Oracle's website is too hard. It needs to be supported better. We don't need a new release, we ust need help dealing with what's there. The GUI version needs to be better than it is. The perception is that it is not modern, but the code base is only ten years old. People need to understand that even if you migrate to a new package, ROI is not immediate. It is more than five to ten years away.

There are a lot of new technologies coming out and JD Edwards World could improve by having better integration with other databases. The integration with the databases and applications should be in real-time, such as with Oracle.

The integration technology could be stronger at this point. There could be some more functionality related to the dashboard to check information using reports in a graph view. It could be more manageable.
