JD Edwards ERP has 3 areas of expertise: 1. Functional - Business Analyst, 2. Technical Programmer - Developer and 3. CNC - System Administrator and Architect.
1. Functional - Business Analyst
Business subject matter expert on one or more of the JD Edwards modules (Financials, Manufacturing, Transportation, Sales, etc...) often they started as a JDE user, the power user and gradually developed the skill to support the business aspects of JDE. Else, they might have a business degree and come into JDE on the job as a Business Analyst. Functional person seldom has any programming or development experience.
2. Technical Programmer - Developer
Developers are trained in the software development and programming tools that translate the business requirements as identified by the functional into programming code. Sometimes these individuals simply modify existing JDE objects and in other cases, develop entire suites of applications using EnterpriseOne development tools including the Report Design Aide (RDA), Table Design Aide (TDA), Business Function C-code design tools and others using JDE's Change Management System, Object Management Workbench.
3. CNC - System Administrator and Architect
Configurable Network Computing or CNC is a catch-all function comprising all that the two positions above do not cover including, Installation, Upgrades, Migrations, Updates, Change Management, System Administration, Security, Performance Tuning, Package Build and Deployment and over-all Architecture. CNC also refers to the systems analysts who install, maintain, manage and enhance the JD Edwards ERP architecture.
The CNC title is taken from the term ‘Configurable Network Computing’ which describes the overall JDE architecture combining mixed hardware, operating systems and databases to work together seamlessly. CNC technology continues to be at the heart of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne architecture and will play a significant role Oracle's Fusion Architecture initiative. Now a division of the Oracle Corporation, CNC is JD Edwards's client-server proprietary architecture and methodology that implements its highly-scalable enterprise-wide business solutions software that can run on a wide variety of hardware, operating systems and hardware platforms.

Manisha,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this, I am sure many have always wondered the meaning of some of these positions in JD Edwards Support.
For more information, see the article that I started on CNC at Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configurable_Network_Computing
ReplyDeleteHi Manisha, I am a buddy of Deep's from Nautilus and started 7 LinkedIn JDE-related sites including the CNC site.
PS - I added you to several of those LinkedIn sites!
