Migration From JDE To SAP
Migration From JDE To SAP
the way we do it
Capgemini has invested in the development and operation of a Migration Factory that can automatically convert JDE users to the SAP platform quickly and without interruption to regular business function.
The centerpiece of Capgemini's Migration Factory solution is a conversion tool specifically designed to read the master and transaction data files in J.D. Edwards. This tool automatically creates load files into SAP, significantly shortening the time frame for a conversion. The JDE-toSAP tool was built and thoroughly tested to convert the data for the fundamental business processes that are common to most enterprises organizations: supply chain, order management and financials. Conversion of the business data is performed off-site at a Capgemini Advanced Development Center. Value Proposition: The Migration Factory solution is designed to reduce the time, effort and resources normally required to migrate from JDE to SAP . Combined with Capgemini delivery
expertise, the solution can improve the overall speed-to-value of your system. Capgemini's conversion tool handles both the World and One World versions of J.D. Edwards software. The approach supports any database that is being used to run JDE software, including DB2/400, Oracle, SQL Server & MS Access. Any mapping changes that are needed to meet individual client requirements for the conversion are made independently of the software code, eliminating the expense and delay of additional development efforts. The conversion tool is built to provide checks and balances

throughout the extraction, conversion, migration, and uploading processes, using standard audit trail routines to reduce risk at every stage. The Migration Factory uses SAP's Standard Upload Capability to upload converted data into the new system via industry-standard tools provided by SAP, eliminating any additional development. All of the hardware and the functional and technical resources needed to perform the conversion are centralized in a Capgemini Advanced Development Center, ensuring the availability of experienced personnel and the overall speed of the process
Capgemini Differentiators: The steps involved in a conversion have been significantly reduced by the Migration Factory: Capgemini bears the cost of defining the differences in the major business processes between the two platforms, and documents how they are to be addressed in the migration process. By performing the conversion of the business data off-site at a Capgemini Advanced Development Center, the Migration Factory reduces labor costs and saves time through knowledge and resource sharing. Our approach also makes the migration process effectively transparent: your current JDE system continues running while the conversion occurs off-site, and your business data is returned on the new functional SAP system. The
Migration Factory's ability to convert the master data tables and key transaction tables improves overall ROI through significant cost savings and provides the basis to convert any additional transaction files. Prior to a conversion, Capgemini offers a 2-Day Migration Analysis, performed at your site by a team of JDE and SAP professionals. The assessment is designed to provide you with an analysis of your data structure/architecture; advise you as to any customization needed; help develop a business case to support the conversion; give you a sense of the project time frame.
