Oracle Ends Support for Selected ERP Versions – What Does This Mean for You? 

Oracle continuously evolves its ERP systems and has announced important dates for the end of support for selected versions. These dates have been communicated well in advance, giving users time to plan their next steps. 

In this blog post, we provide an overview of which ERP versions Oracle has announced end-of-support for, when it will happen, and what your options are moving forward. 

ERP Versions with Announced End-of-Support:  

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.2 
  • Premier Support will be available until at least December 2036. 

• Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 
  • Premier Support will be provided at least until 2035. 

• PeopleSoft 
  • Support will continue until 2035, but Oracle recommends customers migrate to Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. 

Cloud Is the Future 

Although there are still several years until support ends for the above ERP versions, Oracle recommends that customers begin planning an upgrade now. There are multiple options: you can choose to stay on an on-premises solution or upgrade to a cloud-based solution. 

To benefit from a modern and future-proof ERP experience, Oracle recommends that customers running JD Edwards and E-Business Suite start planning their transition to Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP. 

With a cloud-based solution, you can take advantage of: 

• Lower maintenance costs 

• Enhanced security 

• Automatic updates, ensuring you’re always up to date 

• Improved scalability to support your business growth

Not Already Using EDI? Streamline and Automate Your Business Processes During Your ERP Upgrade 

When modernising your ERP system, it’s the perfect time to take a closer look at your business processes – including how you communicate with your trading partners. 

Implementing an EDI solution is a strategic decision that enables you to automate key business processes, such as document exchange with your trading partners – including customers, suppliers, and 3PL partners. This helps reduce manual work, minimise errors, streamline your supply chain, and improve collaboration across your partner network.
