JD Edwards Support Extended Through 2036

Grapevine, TX | Thursday, April 2, 2025: Oracle has officially extended Premier Support for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.2 through at least December 2036—and it’s a big deal.

For years, JD Edwards customers have been balancing stability with the pressure to modernize, often wondering how long Oracle would support the platform they’ve invested so heavily in. Now, with this bold commitment, Oracle has made it clear: JD Edwards is here to stay, and the roadmap ahead is strong, stable, and full of innovation.

So what does this mean for your business? Let’s break it down.

1

No Forced Upgrades = Flexibility and Control

Unlike other ERP platforms that require costly and disruptive major version upgrades, JD Edwards operates under a continuous innovation model. That means you stay current by adopting small, incremental updates rather than going through major re-implementation projects every few years.

With support now extended through 2036, you have more freedom to plan upgrades on your terms—when it makes the most sense for your business, not when the vendor forces your hand.

More Time to Maximize Your Investment

JD Edwards is a robust, feature-rich platform that continues to evolve. Oracle’s latest announcement confirms that the innovation won’t stop any time soon. Recent releases like Release 25 bring powerful new features including:

  • Enhanced automation and process orchestration
  • Better data access across environments
  • UI/UX improvements for streamlined operations
  • Deeper integration with Oracle Cloud and other tools

With a longer runway of support, you have the opportunity to fully leverage these capabilities, drive efficiency, and get more value from your existing ERP without rushing into a full system replacement.
