One critical success factor in creating divisional instances is moving rapidly. The divisions may currently be using manual processes, homegrown systems, or third-party systems that are barriers to business objectives and growth. The potential benefits of implementing ERP systems across them include greater operational insight, elimination of manual processes, and increased agility to allow for adjustment to changing business environments. Your business does not have the luxury of waiting 18 months or longer before realizing the operational efficiencies and value of the ERP system. As a result, you need to identify the best approach for bringing up these additional divisions on the system quickly.
In addition to facilitating fast implementations, you must minimize the cost of these rollouts. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configuration Development Kit (CDK) gives you a collection of tools for streamlining many of the manual-intensive tasks inherent to implementation projects. For example, you can use CDK to bring the task views (menus) from an existing instance to a new division.
