Challenges of Not Integrating - Lack of Connection

As a JD Edwards organization, you have to decide if you select a digital and retail commerce solution that integrates with JD Edwards or use a silo-based disconnected. When organizations select an ecommerce, payments, or retail system that lack connection to the JD Edwards ERP, there are inevitably faced with many of the following challenges:

1. Wasted time and resources on commerce to ERP integration efforts for ecommerce, payment, and retail projects.
   
2. Limited or very poor ROI resulting from increased project timelines and budget overruns.
   
3. High ongoing maintenance and support costs. 
   
4. Inefficiency of non-value-added work because of manual or poorly integrated processes.
   
5. Inconsistent customer experience and service across sales channels.
6. Limited or poor customer adoption to digital commerce platform due lack of confidence in the information.
7. Inabilities to respond quickly to business changes.

Business and IT leaders know that when your ecommerce, payment, and retail systems don’t communicate with each other or with your ERP, things can get complex fast — resulting in your customers having a poor experience with your organization. Using SmarterCommerce’s JD Edwards connection lets you simplify your daily operations and focus on making your customers happy while driving revenue growth.
