BENEFITS PowerExchange—for Application and Data Integration  On-demand application- layer integration of data Whether migrating to JD Edwards OneWorld, consolidating OneWorld from JD Edwards instances, or permanently integrating with legacy or best-of-breed OneWorld with any other enterprise data solutions from other vendors, many organizations find that their OneWorld environment is not the sole system of record—but  Error-free deployment of JD Edwards OneWorld- developing hand-coded integration solutions has proved to be a based data integration daunting task. Although custom transformation logic can be written to solutions interface with JDE, the sheer complexity of the application schema—  Lessens demand for JDE and the scarcity of the domain expertise needed to navigate it—is OneWorld technical skills only part of the challenge. Add the difficulty of accessing and  Eliminates costly manual integrating data managed by other enterprise applications, or hosted coding on mainframes—requiring more hard-to-find technical talent—and the  Improves developer recurring cost of maintaining this logic as the underlying JD Edwards productivity with a single point of control OneWorld application is enhanced and the surrounding IT environment evolves, and the drawbacks of this approach become clear.

PowerExchange for JD Edwards OneWorld overcomes these obstacles. It reduces the need for sophisticated JDE technical expertise by allowing PowerCenter to access OneWorld as both source and target —while working with other PowerExchange family members to open JDE to the rest of the enterprise. The initial development of integration interfaces is faster, and as changes become necessary they can be implemented more rapidly thanks to the extensive sharing of metadata among JDE OneWorld, PowerCenter, and all PowerExchange family members—the same metadata that can help resolve questions of data lineage that often arise in audit and compliance exercises.

PowerExchange for JD Edwards OneWorld—the perfect complement to any organization that has chosen JD Edwards OneWorld.
