JD Edwards:
Business Analytics
It’s time to get more out of your data.
Too Much of a Good Thing?
Mired in endless data from disparate internal and external systems, businesses are under immense competitive pressure to clear the way for better-informed decisions using data. Without an expedient and cost-effective way to access a cross-section of data, both the descriptive analytics of traditional business intelligence (BI) and the predictive power of business analytics (BA) are effectively stymied by having too much of a good thing. It’s time to get more out of your data, and expand the scope of your analytics outside of JD Edwards.
Take Advantage of Data Insights
Traditional JD Edwards BI solutions offer a limited focus and don’t take advantage of insights that can be gained when integrating data from other sources such as CRM, IoT, or other relevant applications. The majority of organizations have an abundance of data at their fingertips, yet few are effectively using insights from data to unlock business value. Up until recently, forward looking analytics seemed like a fantasy world that would require expensive software, along with unique skill sets that would require additions in headcount. Through the use of data lakes, it’s now possible to open the doors to all data, unlocking unlimited possibilities.
What Is an AWS Data Lake?
An Amazon Web Services (AWS) Data lake, leverages the expertise of the Syntax JD Edwards team along with our unique Intellectual Property which we’ve built on top of AWS, to help expedite analytics on any subject matter. We are able to provide cost effective traditional BI in an elegant serverless architecture and can also easily feed relevant data into AWS, continuously improving and growing predictive analytical capabilities. This enables Syntax customers to experiment, discover new game changing strategies, and optimize their business.
Partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS)
As an AWS Premier and MSP Partner, Syntax has a long-standing partnership with AWS. Together, we will enable your organization to take advantage of one of today’s biggest opportunities: business analytics. We’ll improve your analysis capabilities to boost performance, maximize your return on investments, and increase profitability. Syntax and AWS can help you leverage data from JD Edwards and use it as a launching point to take your business analytics to the next level.
Overcome Data Silos and Gain Insights from Different Data Sources
You can’t just tell the data scientist you hired yesterday to dump the data from JD Edwards into some big data algorithm and call it a day. It’s not that simple. Syntax can help you think about your data and overcome your data silos. Although ERP systems have a lot of data, it represents only one repository. You may also have customer relationship management (CRM), human resources (HR) data, and Internet of Things (IoT) data. No matter the size of your organization or where you are on your business analytics journey, we can help you solve today’s current data conundrum and excel. Whether you are at the C-suite level or lead a line of business, you want answers and Syntax can help you find them.
