It's not such a great story really. For business reasons connected with
recent company history a technically sound ERP system using an Oracle
database (if that's not a contradiction in terms) is being discontinued.
Our ERP of choice is now J.D. Edwards World. However, we still have a need
to access historical data that currently resides in the Oracle database. To
continue to use the legacy ERP system would mean spending a huge amount on
licenses.

What we wish to do therefore is to create a ring-fenced JDE environment to
hold the historical data so that our users can access it through the
interface they are familiar with. Effectively this is a conversion to JDE
from another ERP. A good starting point would be to have the existing
database sitting on an AS/400. If this is not possible we will be dependent
on another group within the company to supply us with extract files on
request with all the delays and other complications that involves, as well
as having no direct visibility of the source data.
