OCI was chosen in line with Atkins\u2019 Cloud-first strategy, enhancing its performance, availability and scalability, as well as providing a lower TCO.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Upgrading JD Edwards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Atkins had been using JD Edwards for several years. The decision was made to upgrade to the latest version of the software to 9.2, as well as a technical upgrade of the SOA instances. This provides extended support for the customer and room to grow in the future.<\/p>\n<h3>Real Difference, Delivered<\/h3>\n<p>\u2013 Upgrade of Oracle JD Edwards to a supported platform, providing Oracle Premier Support until at least 2034<br \/> \u2013 Migration to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to reduce on-premise dependency<br \/> \u2013 Ongoing managed services for the Oracle JD Edwards application and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure<br \/> \u2013 Reduced costs as the data centre has moved to the cloud, so the customer only pays for what they need<br \/> \u2013 Reduced operational risk as servers are secured and maintained by Oracle with extra defence against ransomware<br \/> \u2013 Improved agility, as servers can be spun up or deleted quickly as more capacity is needed<\/p>\n<h2>About Version 1<\/h2>\n<p>Version 1 proves that IT can make a real difference to our customers\u2019 businesses.
