DX

DX provides a wide range of specialist delivery services to both business and residential addresses across the UK and Ireland. The company operates through two divisions, DX Freight and DX Express.

Customer Challenge

DX has ambitious growth plans. To achieve its objectives of long-term, sustainable profit, and cash generation, the company focuses on customer service excellence and operational efficiency.

After ten years on EnterpriseOne 9.0, DX upgraded to JD Edwards 9.2 and moved the ERP onto Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This significant IT investment ensures the company has a modern, future-proof technology stack which:

  • Improves the quality of management information by using a new reporting tool.
  • Increases the functionality of operational systems.

Solution

Upgrading EnterpriseOne 9.0 to EnterpriseOne 9.2
Upgrading to the latest version of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has delivered significant functional enhancements.

Deploying JD Edwards on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
DX selected Redfaire’s Cloud 9 service, in preference to an on-premises deployment. Cloud 9 delivers a fully managed hosted solution on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
JD Edwards on OCI delivers:

  • Performance excellence with on-demand, elastic infrastructure.
  • Robust security with end-to-end data encryption and protection.
  • Reduced IT maintenance costs with a JD Edwards solution delivered to an agreed SLA.
  • Disaster Recovery.


As part of the migration, DX also moved from SQL to Oracle Databases, leading to substantial performance improvements.

 

 
Optimizing ERP Data
Redfaire used their data optimization tool Datawaire to significantly reduce the quantity of data held in the production environment. Reducing the data load prior to the upgrade meant that the transition to the new system was completed in one weekend. End-users signed on to the new system on Monday morning having signed off the old system as usual on Friday evening.
