What You Need to Know About JDE Release 24

Oracle's continued investment in JD Edwards is evident through their introduction of regular updates and enhancements. The announcement of JDE Release 24 in November provides both application and tools enhancements that continue to improve the user experience with further automation and capabilities aimed at driving organizational growth. While major releases like JDE Release 24 showcase significant advancements, we understand that the true value lies in the ongoing evolution of the platform. 

The digital landscape is constantly changing, with new technologies (and risks) emerging. With premier support for JDE E1 extended to at least 2034, this means that the security of the application is constantly under review and is being improved as the codebase evolves.  From a purely technical or Tools Release perspective, this means that getting current and staying code current isn’t just optional, it’s imperative.
