What is it?

JD Edwards INFOCUS is a new product-focused event, replacing our Regional events. This new event will offer in-depth education into JD Edwards EnterpriseOne product modules in a way that isn’t possible at COLLABORATE due to space limitations. 

How is it different from COLLABORATE?

COLLABORATE is still where you hear the big Oracle announcements and industry news; the only global conference focusing on the Oracle ecosystem at the macro level. COLLABORATE is the only PeopleSoft and JD Edwards customer-led event that will offer Fusion education, JD Edwards World education, new product releases and strategies from Oracle and the partner community, plus an emphasis on professional development and executive content.  Quest will continue to offer targeted networking by special interest and geographic location at COLLABORATE and provide our user communities the opportunity to meet to plan their yearly cycle of opportunities and goals. JD Edwards INFOCUS is where you dig into individual modules at the micro level.

Who should attend?

The end users of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne modules (those that use the products on a daily or near-daily basis) who are looking for focused education should attend the new JD Edwards INFOCUS event. Education will dig into enhancements, techniques and tips for your tower modules. 

The Oracle JD Edwards customers that make decisions for their company, whether as a line-manager or C-level, should attend COLLABORATE for the high-level education, announcements and networking opportunities provided. Education will continue to address best practices, roadmaps and usability of your towers, while providing professional development and executive sessions to advance your career. JD Edwards INFOCUS is complementary to COLLABORATE so, if you fall into both categories, we recommend attending both events to receive the complete spectrum of education available to make the most out of your ERP.

What about JD Edwards World Customers?
While many of our sessions may be applicable to both EnterpriseOne and World customers, like at our past regional events, the World communities main event will continue to be COLLABORATE.  We are currently working with the World group to create more online programs that will be easier for that community to attend as well, so be on the lookout for exciting World education announcements coming soon.
