Looking for a job requires JDE experience and JDE projects. What exactly does this JDE mean? Can you introduce it in detail?

When it comes to the birth of J.D. Edwards, we have to say why it was named. J.D. Edwards was named after three founders: jack Thompson, Dan Gregory and C. Edwards McVarney. The idea came from carol, the wife of C. Edwards mcwanie.

C Edwards mcwanie was born in Omaha, Nebraska. His father is a dentist. When Edwards was almost 6 years old, he returned to his hometown from the World War II position. Mcwanie's family is Irish immigrants. Edwards grew up in Omaha. For some reason, he has a great obstacle in his speaking ability, so that he was placed in the worst class D in the church preparatory course at school, ranking sixth from the bottom. But by 1959, when Edwards finished his high school course, he had already shown his talent in mathematics and physics. In the next mechanical engineering study, Edwards came into contact with computer courses. 1963 married Carole before graduation. After a lifetime, I went to Rutgers University and New Jersey State University to study business administration, and got a master's degree in 1966. Edwards has worked in Western Electric (1964, Kearny), Peter Marwyck Mitchell (1966, new york) and Alexander Grant Thornton, New Jersey (1970, Denver).

Jack Thompson and Dan Gregory were both subordinates recruited by Edwards when he was working for Alexander Grant Thornton. Jack is a computer genius and has been engaged in the programming and development of IBM minicomputers, while Dan is an MBA from Denver University and works for J.D. Edwards &; When the company was founded, it had just joined Alexander Junfu for less than half a year. By 1976, Edwards is the head of Alexander Grant Thornton's Denver office, providing financial and business consulting services to customers.

1977 March 17, J.D. Edwards &; The company was founded in Denver, Colorado, USA. Based on their experience in Alexander Grant Thornton, the company's initial business was to provide financial data processing services. 1978, with the addition of Bob Newman, the company got a comprehensive improvement in financial data processing, because Bob was certified as a national data processor in 1975.

At the beginning of the company's establishment, financial software based on IBM minicomputers (System/34 and System/36) was compiled for small and medium-sized enterprises. In the early 1980s, the platform was transferred to System/38, and later IBM AS/400 became its new application platform. Since 1980s, J.D. Edwards has expanded its headquarters building in Denver and started to set up its first branch in Dallas, followed by offices in Newport Beach, Bakersfield, Houston and San Francisco in California. In the mid-1980s, J.D. Edwards was recognized as the leader of application software, partly because his software was successfully built on IBM AS/400 server. At that time, SAP had not yet entered the United States, and Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Microsoft did not exist. From 1988, J.D. Edwards began to expand its international business and set up its European headquarters in Brussels, Belgium (later moved to Buckinghamshire, England).

Although the company has maintained an annual growth rate of about 40% and zero debt, the three responsible persons are cautious and steady. It was not until September 24th, 1997, that the company was listed on the Nasdaq (JDEC), when there were nearly 3,500 employees. Overnight, the company gave birth to more than 200 millionaires. At the gate of the company in Denver, there were many applicants. In 2000, the turnover exceeded US$ 654.38+0 billion, and it was also called "Big Four" with SAP, PeopleSoft and Oracle Bone Inscriptions.

1998, Edwards mcwanie retired due to illness, and Doug masinger was appointed as CEO. 1999 acquired Numetrix to enhance its function in supply chain management, and in the same year acquired another company in Chicago, Premisys, to fill its weakness in sales automation system. In 2000, Edwards McVarney made a comeback. 200 1 Acquired YOUcentric to enhance the customer relationship management function.

Before being acquired by PeopleSoft in 2003, J.D. Edwards had more than 6,700 users, 50 branches and 5,000 employees in more than 65,438+000 countries around the world, and its powerful ERP software could run on various computer platforms, including IBM AS/400, UNIX, Windows NT and Internet.

In June 2003, the board of directors of J.D. Edwards agreed to acquire PeopleSoft, and OneWorld merged into PeopleSoft's product line and changed its name to EnterpriseOne.

At the end of 2004, Oracle Bone Inscriptions acquired PeopleSoft and took over the service and support of J.D. Edwards products (OneWorld/EnterpriseOne and World). At the same time, the "project integration" plan was launched, which is expected to be available in 2008. In the new plan, the existing Oracle application suite, PeopleSoft Enterprise, J.D. Edwards One World/Enterprise One and J.D. Edwards World will all be replaced by new products.
