A Commitment to Superior Support and Service

When you migrate to the Syntax Enterprise Cloud®, you don’t simply gain access to the industry’s most secure and robust JD Edwards Cloud platform, you also gain a true business partner that is committed to ensuring that your investment in ERP delivers ROI.

Every client benefits from an identified Client Success Manager (CSM) whose first responsibility is to align all Syntax Enterprise Cloud® resources to your benefit. Assigning a dedicated CSM gives you one point of contact, ensuring that you know the people servicing your environment and that our team intimately understands your business.

Each CSM begins by conducting a SWOT analysis of your environment. Based on those results, your CSM will develop a plan of action that both remediates any issues detected by the SWOT and outlines proactive steps to optimize the performance of your JD Edwards applications.

Performance Driven SLA’S

Syntax backs its promise of delivering superior service by committing to performance based Service Level Agreements (SLA’s).

Most SLA’s from ERP hosting providers simply outline incident response times and dictate that the production environment will remain on line.

In contrast, Syntax’s SLA’s go beyond offering basic guarantees by committing to predefined performance metrics, ensuring that your JD Edwards instance always has the capacity you require. Syntax SLA’s also cover the CNC & technical services required to run, maintain and patch with Oracle best practices for JD Edwards.

JD Edwards Encryption & Data Security

EnCrypto Data Security

Data breaches make headlines, putting companies in a bad light. Yet JDE has no native data field encryption capabilities to enhance data security. With developers, system administrators and DBAs all accessing data, you need JDE encryption to keep sensitive data, including HR/payroll data, secure. The good news is, EnCrypto has you covered.

What is EnCrypto?

EnCrypto delivers JD Edwards encryption capabilities with military precision. The only JDE application-level encryption solution on the market, EnCrypto features:

  • JDE sensitive data protection with military grade encryption (AES-256)
  • Column-level transparent data encryption for most platforms supported by JDE.  Some combinations utilizing IBM platforms (AS/400, iSeries, or Power) are not supported
  • Data that is stored encrypted on the database (encryption at rest)
  • Fine-grained control over who has access to decrypt which fields and columns

Why Choose EnCrypto?

Traditional database-level encryption does not account for data classes or specific user entitlements, with limited ability to be selective, so encryption and access controls are an all or nothing proposition. Not so with EnCrypto, which allows for field-specific encryption and granular user access control.

JDE data security concerns? Not with EnCrypto, protecting your most sensitive data fields with JD Edwards encryption.

JDE Encryption. Done Right.

What Makes Vision a True Saas Solution and Not Just a Cloud BI Tool?

Unlike hosted BI environments in the Cloud where the customer is still responsible for the administration of all ETL and data warehouse processes, Syntax owns this part of the solution. This means that you do not require any in house expertise or IT involvement to maintain day-to-day data loads and processes. If there is a data load failure for whatever reason, Syntax employees immediately get notified, and begin working to quickly resolve any issues.

Why Do I No Longer Have to Worry About Upgrades?

The Vision platform powered by GoodData is regularly enhanced every few weeks with new capabilities. This means that you never have to go through a costly upgrade of the solution because you are always on the latest and greatest version. And you don’t have to worry about applying bug fixes to your environment like other BI solutions, because it just works!

Can I Pull in Other Data Sources Outside of JD Edwards?

Absolutely, and we encourage bringing in other data sources to maximize the insight of Vision. Customers frequently bring in data from CRM applications such as Oracle Sales Cloud and Salesforce, as well as on-premises databases, spreadsheets, or cloud based applications.

Can Syntax Help Extend Our Use After the Initial Implementation?

Syntax is happy to help as much or as little as you need moving forward. Part of our implementation process includes Power User Workshops to help ensure our customers are self-sufficient in building out additional reports and dashboards, but we are happy to help quickly assist if your resources don’t have time. And because of our years of building out BI solutions for JD Edwards, our Vision ETL experts are ready to quickly build out any custom data warehouse extensions that you may require.
