A Closer Look: The Continuous Innovation Delivery Model

The Continuous Innovation Delivery Model is a paradigm under which Oracle will deliver new functionality for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne in short cycles which are faster and more frequent to reduce the cost, time, and risk of delivering changes by allowing for incremental updates as opposed to as updates to the existing release. Customers will no longer be required to perform a full release upgrade to access new features and functions and can apply fixes and updates in the current release.

Customers wishing to deploy these new features and functionality should upgrade to EnterpriseOne 9.2 which is a Continuous Innovation Release with extended Premier Support dates to at least 2030. Once on EnterpriseOne 9.2 the preferred method of adopting new capabilities involves maintaining your environment by staying current on code line by taking regular application and tools release updates.

In this session we will review the rational for this new delivery model, the issues it addresses, the challenges and also the recommendations, guidelines and tools for customers to maintain their JD Edwards EnterpriseOne environment going forward. Specific attention will be directed towards the adaptations for the Functional, Development and Technology teams and how best to evaluate, implement, test and deploy these updates.
