1 PagesW E N S CHALLENGE Because of Oracle’s end of support for Wiginton Fire Systems’ current release of JD Edwards, they embarked on a JD Edwards upgrade project from their ERP 8 version to EnterpriseOne 9.1 in 2015. Wiginton selected a preferred partner of Oracle to complete the upgrade to E1 9.1. After several delays and substantially higher fees, Wiginton pulled the plug on their upgrade project and chose to move their ERP software to Microsoft Dynamics GP. APPROACH During the 18-month transition period to migrate off JD Edwards applications, Wiginton contracted with Spinnaker Support for software maintenance. They reduced their support spend and reallocated funds to other IT projects, such as implementing Global Software to integrate between Excel, Microsoft, and JD Edwards.
