Long prized for its open platform strategy, Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne can now run on a complete Oracle technology stack—including Oracle VM, Oracle Enterprise Linux, Oracle Database 11g, Oracle Fusion Middleware, and Oracle Enterprise Manager.
Here are the seven top reasons to run JD Edwards EnterpriseOne on a complete Oracle technology stack:
1. Assure system uptime and performance with Oracle Enterprise Manager: Working together, Oracle Enterprise Manager and the Application Management Pack for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne give system administrators a top-down view of all servers and their infrastructure, managed from a single console. The result: better proactive monitoring of servers, faster troubleshooting, and a higher service level for end users.
2. Give business users more control over report content and formatting: With the integration of Oracle BI Publisher with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, business users can now design more-robust output templates for their reports, including pictures, logos, and font control. Business users can also write ad hoc queries into the JD Edwards data and run reports through common desktop tools such as Microsoft Word and Excel.
3. Reduce the cost, complexity, and risk of integrating applications within Oracle’s portfolio: The Oracle technology stack helps provide seamless integrations to Oracle’s best-of-breed applications, including project management, demand planning, forecasting, content management, and CRM On Demand. Oracle’s Application Integration Architecture and Process Integration Packs provide a flexible, standards-based framework for building resilient business processes more quickly and at lower cost.
4. Improve performance and increase flexibility of business processes. The Oracle technology stack also helps customers integrate JD Edwards EnterpriseOne with third-party applications. With the Oracle SOA Suite, users can re-engineer business processes with more agility while avoiding service interruptions.
5. Simplify and improve user access and security: With Oracle Access Manager, users can sign into all of their systems at once, which eliminates the need for multiple usernames and passwords, helps enforce strong password and authentication policies, and provides a centralized framework for security and compliance enforcement.
6. Increase productivity with a consistent user interface: As JD Edwards users switch from one Oracle application to another, Oracle’s standard user interface design provides a seamless design experience that incorporates the latest advances in UI design. Users spend less time learning how to navigate new interfaces, which increases productivity.
7. Build enterprise IT on a trusted, reliable, rock-solid platform: Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is engineered and tested to work with Oracle’s core technology—Oracle VM, Oracle Enterprise Linux, Oracle Database 11g, and Oracle Fusion Middleware, all of which consistently garner the industry’s top rankings.

Oracle buys Sun
Redwood Shores, CA - April 20, 2009
Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ: ORCL) and Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: JAVA) announced today they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Oracle will acquire Sun common stock for $9.50 per share in cash. The transaction is valued at approximately $7.4 billion, or $5.6 billion net of Sun’s cash and debt. “We expect this acquisition to be accretive to Oracle’s earnings by at least 15 cents on a non-GAAP basis in the first full year after closing. We estimate that the acquired business will contribute over $1.5 billion to Oracle’s non-GAAP operating profit in the first year, increasing to over $2 billion in the second year. This would make the Sun acquisition more profitable in per share contribution in the first year than we had planned for the acquisitions of BEA, PeopleSoft and Siebel combined,” said Oracle President Safra Catz.
“The acquisition of Sun transforms the IT industry, combining best-in-class enterprise software and mission-critical computing systems,” said Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. “Oracle will be the only company that can engineer an integrated system – applications to disk – where all the pieces fit and work together so customers do not have to do it themselves. Our customers benefit as their systems integration costs go down while system performance, reliability and security go up.”
There are substantial long-term strategic customer advantages to Oracle owning two key Sun software assets: Java and Solaris. Java is one of the computer industry’s best-known brands and most widely deployed technologies, and it is the most important software Oracle has ever acquired. Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle’s fastest growing business, is built on top of Sun’s Java language and software. Oracle can now ensure continued innovation and investment in Java technology for the benefit of customers and the Java community.
The Sun Solaris operating system is the leading platform for the Oracle database, Oracle’s largest business, and has been for a long time. With the acquisition of Sun, Oracle can optimize the Oracle database for some of the unique, high-end features of Solaris. Oracle is as committed as ever to Linux and other open platforms and will continue to support and enhance our strong industry partnerships.
“Oracle and Sun have been industry pioneers and close partners for more than 20 years,” said Sun Chairman Scott McNealy. “This combination is a natural evolution of our relationship and will be an industry-defining event.”
“This is a fantastic day for Sun’s customers, developers, partners and employees across the globe, joining forces with the global leader in enterprise software to drive innovation and value across every aspect of the technology marketplace,” said Jonathan Schwartz, Sun’s CEO, “From the Java platform touching nearly every business system on earth, powering billions of consumers on mobile handsets and consumer electronics, to the convergence of storage, networking and computing driven by the Solaris operating system and Sun’s SPARC and x64 systems. Together with Oracle, we’ll drive the innovation pipeline to create compelling value to our customer base and the marketplace.”
“Sun is a pioneer in enterprise computing, and this combination recognizes the innovation and customer success the company has achieved. Our largest customers have been asking us to step up to a broader role to reduce complexity, risk and cost by delivering a highly optimized stack based on standards,” said Oracle President Charles Phillips. “This transaction will preserve and enhance investments made by our customers, while we continue to work with our partners to provide customers with choice.”
The Board of Directors of Sun Microsystems has unanimously approved the transaction. It is anticipated to close this summer, subject to Sun stockholder approval, certain regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
There will be a conference call today to discuss the transaction at 5:30 a.m. Pacific time. Investors can listen to the conference call by dialing (719) 234-7870, passcode 923645. A replay will be available for 24 hours after the call ends at (719) 884-8882, passcode: 923645. A live audio webcast of the call will be made available at www.oracle.com/investor and a replay will be available for seven days after the call ends.
