A successful delivery during uncertain times.
With ambitious growth plans, DX needed a partner that would help them lay the foundations for growth with a modern ERP in the Cloud.
Through excellent project management, communication, and collaboration, Redfaire International and DX delivered a successful project even through the complications of the COVID-19 lockdown.

FUNCTIONAL ENHANCEMENTS
OPTIMIZED ERP DATA
REDUCED IT COSTS
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. DX seeks to provide an excellent, market-leading service delivering exactly to customers’ requirements.
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.
Why DX Chose Redfaire International
DX chose Redfaire International because of their proactive approach, their clear technical competence, in both JD Edwards and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and their excellence in project management.
Why DX Chose Redfaire International
- A proactive approach.
- Excellent project management skills.
- Proven commitment to highest quality standards.
JD Edwards customers can innovate faster, improve customer engagement, drive business-process efficiency, and accelerate digital transformation with Oracle Cloud.
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.
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.
