Customer Challenge

A modern, robust, scalable IT system is a key pillar of CH&CO's strategy.

The question was, how to deliver this complex, strategic project when everyone had to work remotely because of Covid-19?

From January to June 2020, in the middle of a global pandemic, Redfaire and CH&CO:

  • Upgraded JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.0 to the latest version, 9.2.
  • Moved JD Edwards ERP onto Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
  • Implemented Oracle’s Virtual Database (Extreme Performance) on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Successfully completing a transformative project like this on time and on budget is quite an achievement. That the teams were able to do this despite the challenges of the Covid-19 lockdown is testimony to the strong partnership and skills of Redfaire’s consultants and CH&CO’s internal team.

Why CH&CO Chose Redfaire International

CH&CO chose Redfaire International thanks to their skills and extensive experience in bringing JD Edwards customers onto Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Redfaire’s Cloud 9 methodology and the team’s keen understanding of the strategic objectives of the upgrade and move to the Cloud ensured that the project was delivered on time and on-budget, despite the challenges of remote working.

Why CH&CO chose Redfaire International:

  • Extensive experience of migrating JD Edwards to the Oracle Cloud.
  • Proven Cloud Migration Methodology.
  • Track record of delivering complex projects on time and on budget.

Managing our suspense accounts and Inventory reconciliation used to take days at month end, often with external help. This tool is a real timesaver for our accounting department. Our inventory reporting matches our General Ledger to the cent. The inventory movement reporting is very helpful for our accountant when we close our books. We finally have our processes in control.
