Summary:
Can someone offer
information regarding the upgrade process from World to OneWorld?
Answer
OneWorld XE---the latest addition from JDE is very clean software and several
folks have made the conversion you mentioned. The ones who have had trouble were
typically the ones who had made extensive modifications to World that, as usual,
were poorly documented.
The financials are almost identical, and assuming you have a COA that you are
happy with, that conversion is straight forward.
The distribution and manufacturing modules are usually the ones that are the
most different, and I suggest you create a set of functional specifications for
your company in those areas and have the JDE folks demonstrate to you the
specific functionality you require.
The other area that can create problems are the numerous end user specify
versions that every customer has. Make certain that you catalogue all of those
that are deployed and to which specific workstations they are deployed.
It goes without saying, that a detailed conference room pilot and JDE training
on the OneWorld navigation and such are also required.
Below is a link to a web site on the JDE Knowledge Garden with some specific
migration information from World to OneWorld.

I strongly suggest you take the approach of defining your business requirements
in some detail first, and then have JDE specifically answer those requirements
via an RFP type response with demonstrations of the capabilities you require.
