Information Portal for JD EdwardsInfo Portal for JD Edwards
How to Use the
Information Portal with Randr's 2d Information Portal (Infoportal) is the perfect complement to your JD Edwards World software running on an iSeries or AS/400. Here are some of the key reasons why:
JD Edwards is an excellent transaction processing system, but is notoriously weak when it comes to reporting. Infoportal gives you real time information on the state of your business, including things like vendor and customer performance, daily bookings and sales. The three year sales history reports by item, customer and territory (salesman) allow you to handle territory realignment so you are getting a true comparison of performance. See samples in the documents below
Puts real information in the hands of
your executives, internal employees and external sales
force
Instead of seeing today's sales tomorrow
after the nightly posting, see that information during the day.
Instead of giving your sales force monthly reports, let them see their
performance every day. The three year sales history screens with
detail drill downs to monthly performance and items purchased allows your
sales force to understand what is happening within their territories and
easily spot changes in customer purchasing patterns. Executives can
see the overall state of their business on one screen.
Keeps the control in your
hands
With the Infoportal security, you can allow
users to or restrict users from every individual menu option. This
lets you give Infoportal access with confidence knowing that users will
not be able to see anything you don't want them to have access
to.
Saves you $$
Infoportal runs on a stand alone linux
server that can be built using an existing or new PC. It accesses
the data directly from the JD Edwards data files, but most of work load
takes place on the linux server not on your iSeries or
AS/400. For users that only need inquiry access to
your data, you do NOT have to purchase any additional JDE licenses since
they will not be signing on to JDE, but instead will access the data
through the Infoportal on the linux server.
Information Portal for JD Edwards is free Open Source Software and
it works directly with the JD Edwards data on your iSeries or AS400. Currently
the source files are included with JD Edwards Warehouse Management Portal downloads.
However, you want a separate copy, we will be happy to provide the source code and a
war file for you. Just use our request form. Randr's
philosophy is to bring affordable software to small and medium sized business
which gives them the same and sometimes better tools than the larger
companies at a fraction of the price (free). If you can use this software, we are happy to provide it for you.
Allows you to give Customers Web access to
Information
Infoportal security matrix allows you to give customers web
acces to information from your JD Edwards transaction system. You
can limit the user by company and JDE customer number (address book #) as
well as control which reports and screens they can access.
Infoportal allows you to fulfill those Customer requests for information
access quickly, inexpensively and with little impact on your staff.
Source Code
You get the source code for the Infoportal. The
application is written in Java with all the queries against the data base written
using SQL. Currently uses Java 1.4.
