Redfaire has been working with OCI since its earliest days and the inclusion reflects over fifty completed JD Edwards to OCI migrations. Our track record is built around JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and World Software. 

What is a Cloud Smart Strategy for JD Edwards?

A cloud-smart strategy means choosing the right cloud platform for each workload, not migrating everything indiscriminately. For JD Edwards customers, that platform is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. OCI was engineered by Oracle specifically for Oracle applications, and the performance, cost and operational advantages of running JDE on OCI are measurable and documented across more than fifty Redfaire migrations.

Why is finding an experienced JD Edwards OCI migration partner so difficult?

OCI is a relatively young cloud platform. The number of service providers with genuine hands-on experience migrating enterprise applications to OCI is still limited, and general cloud skills are not sufficient. Moving JD Edwards to OCI requires deep application knowledge alongside infrastructure expertise. Those two skill sets rarely exist together outside of a specialist JDE partner.

What should you ask a JD Edwards OCI migration partner?

General cloud credentials are not enough. The relevant questions are specific:

• How many JD Edwards to OCI migrations have you completed?
• Do you have references in my sector?
• What went wrong on those projects, and how did you handle it?

Redfaire has completed more than fifty JDE to OCI migrations across industries, including manufacturing, distribution, and fashion. If a provider cannot answer these questions with specifics, keep looking.

How do you build the business case for moving JD Edwards to OCI?

A migration to OCI does not get approved on technical merit alone. Finance wants to see the numbers. IT leadership wants to understand the risk. The business wants to know what changes. Redfaire's JDE to OCI Business Case in a Box was built for this moment: cost models, performance benchmarks and an executive-ready framework that answers the questions before they are asked.

Is now the right time to migrate JD Edwards to OCI?

OCI is one of the fastest-growing cloud infrastructure platforms on the market. Oracle's own SEC filings report OCI infrastructure revenue grew 50% in FY2025, with growth accelerating to over 93% year-on-year in the most recent quarter. For context, AWS grew at approximately 17% and Azure at around 21% over the same period. (Source: Oracle Corporation Form 8-K, FY2026, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

In the JD Edwards ecosystem, that momentum is visible. More clients are moving from evaluation to decision than at any point before. Moving JD Edwards to OCI is not a platform change. You keep everything you have built in JDE, and it runs faster, more reliably, and on infrastructure that Oracle is investing in at a rate few enterprise platforms have seen. The business case is straightforward: same application, better performance, lower infrastructure costs, and a roadmap backed by Oracle's full cloud investment.

The timing question is really about who controls the decision. Organisations that move now choose their own pace, their own timeline, and their own moment. That is a different conversation from one driven by a support deadline or a budget cut. The window to migrate on your terms is open. It will not stay that way indefinitely.
