When Working With an Oracle JD Edwards Reseller Makes Sense
Most JDE licensing gaps aren’t caused by misuse or neglect. They’re the result of normal business growth, system integration, and time.
Your JDE user count has changed since your last re-up or audit
Access has expanded (new teams, new plants, more contractors)
You're planning growth, restructuring, or M&A
You're adding modules or expanding usage
You want a baseline before an Oracle audit creates pressure
You want a licensing partner that won't push an ERP replacement
What Happens When You Don’t Have Enough JD Edwards Licenses
Oracle can initiate a license review or audit at any time. These reviews aren’t always triggered by wrongdoing. In many cases, they’re routine, policy-driven, or initiated without clear warning.
If additional licenses are required, they’re often purchased under pressure, when leverage is lowest and options are limited. Costs escalate quickly, because you now have to pay a penalty on top of the price of the license.
Start with a JDE License Assessment
Reseller-managed licensing isn’t a single transaction. It’s a structured process designed to give you clarity before decisions are made.
Here’s what that typically includes:
License assessment kickoff
We start with a focused kickoff to define scope and goals.
Review of your current user landscape
We look at how JD Edwards is really used today, including user roles, access types, and day-to-day workflows.
Baseline summary of coverage and risk
You receive a clear summary showing what is currently covered and where potential exposure may exist.
License acquisitions
We focus on right-sizing licenses by user type and JD Edwards module, outlining options, tradeoffs, and cost impact.
Quote and ordering support
When licensing action is required, ERP Suites handles quoting and ordering directly so the process doesn’t stall.
Optional roadmap alignment
If relevant, we factor in future changes such as growth, acquisitions, restructures, or module expansion, so licensing decisions support where you’re going.
How ERP Suites Support JD Edwards License Assessments
Every JDE environment is different. The way we support licensing assessments depends on what tools and visibility already exist in your environment. Our approach is flexible by design.
If you already use ERP Suites Clarity:
We can use Clarity to support the licensing baseline by analyzing usage patterns and access data already available in your environment. This helps accelerate the assessment and reduces the need for manual data gathering.
If you do not use ERP Suites Clarity:
Licensing assessments are still fully supported. We use alternate assessment approaches based on the structure and constraints of your environment, including:
-
JD Edwards CNC and environment-level expertise to understand how users, roles, and access are configured
- Utilize the JD Edwards object tracker if enabled in the system
-
ALLOut Security, if implemented.
What customers experience
“… working with you all is an absolute delight compared to any experience we ever had with OMCS.”
“We selected ERP Suites because they listened to what we needed…they did not try to persuade us to fit into previously defined activities.”
“A huge differentiator between my previous partner and ERP Suites is the personal interaction.”
JD Edwards Reseller Pricing
Working with ERP Suites as your JD Edwards reseller does not mean paying more for licenses.
Pricing is aligned with Oracle’s direct sales model. The difference is how licensing is managed, not the amount you pay.
License costs are determined by:
-
License module and user quantity
-
Contract terms and timing
-
Net-new licenses vs adjustments
Licensing assessment:
To support informed decisions, ERP Suites includes an initial JD Edwards licensing assessment at no cost.
This assessment is designed to:
-
Establish a baseline of your current license position
-
Clarify how JD Edwards is actually used today
-
Identify where risk may exist before decisions are forced
-
Provide clear recommendations
There is no obligation to make licensing changes as a result of the assessment. Its purpose is clarity.
