"Our team is moving from JDE to Oracle. I was selected to be part of a project team to help with the implementation because I tend to be on the tech-savvy side.

We are now in the testing phases before the go-live and everything is running smoothly. I'm excited about the new tools and features so we can do our jobs faster."
