Oracle Updates Demantra for EnterpriseOne

March 18, 2008 Alex Woodie

Oracle is giving JD Edwards EnterpriseOne customers access to the latest release of its Demantra supply chain and promotion planning software, the company announced last week. The move is designed to provide consumer goods companies that use EnterpriseOne better visibility into the effectiveness of their promotions activities, and greater overall profitability.

Oracle first announced the integration of EnterpriseOne and Demantra, which it acquired in 2006, last July. At that time, Oracle hooked EnterpriseOne into Demantra version 7.1.1. With last week’s announcement, Oracle is enabling users of EnterpriseOne version 8.12 to various components of the Demantra version 7.2 suite, including the Predictive Trade Planning, Trade Promotion Optimization, and Deduction and Settlement Management components.

The integration with Demantra allows EnterpriseOne users to make more accurate forecasts, and to efficiently monitor and control trade spending, Oracle says. By allowing users to gain a better understanding of how promotions affect costs and constraints in the supply chain, inventory can be lowered, thereby boosting profitability.

“Typically sales and marketing managers do not get adequate information about the impact of their promotional initiatives on the performance of the supply chain,” says Jon Chorley, Oracle vice president of SCM product strategy. “With the integrated analysis and insight now available between Demantra and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, customers can reduce ineffective promotions to spend more time on profitable campaigns that impact both top and bottom line performance.”

YOUR ORGANIZATION NEEDS TO BE THINKING DIFFERENTLY ABOUT YOUR
BACKUP & DISASTER RECOVERY STRATEGY

Heightened Concerns of the Industry

Inefficient manual backup processes
Effectively storing data offsite
Developing and testing a concrete disaster recovery plan
Efficient access to data in disaster scenario for necessary users
Risk of cyber security attack
Declining IT staff and resources

The true cause of the above concerns is the “new normal” that is the COVID-19 pandemic and an organization’s status quo:

80% of IBM i users currently backup to tape and 40% of companies
have no DR plan at all.

DURING THIS UNPRESENTEDED TIME, DON’T WAIT FOR YOUR BUSINESS
TO SUFFER A DISASTER TO TAKE ACTION.

The new way to ensure cost-effective safety

Automated cloud backup
Two remote sites – redundant storage, power, internet pipe, firewalls, etc.
Data encryption at all times – in-flight and at-rest
Fully managed remote hardware DR, including remote VPN access for necessary users
Regularly simulated phishing tests and cyber security training

Potential “landmines” in solutions to avoid

Single point of storage – no redundancy
Misleading data analysis, compression/de-dup ratios, sizing of necessary computer resources for backup and DR
Large scale cloud storage with difficult recovery
Inability to meet RTO/RPO

Don’t get caught like the many organizations we’ve seen with inefficient
exposed backup data and no DR plan!

WHAT VAULT400 HAS TO OFFER

Backup

Native software agent schedules backups to the UCG cloud based on your retention scheme
Client data is backed up to two data centers in US or two data centers in Canada
AES 256-bit encryption in-flight and at-rest – 0nly client has the encryption key
Detailed data analysis to ensure proper sizing
