CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Velocity Technology Solutions Inc., the global leader in enterprise cloud application management services and creator of the Velocity Cloud Application Management Platform™ (VCAMP®), today announced it has successfully implemented JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.2 for TruGreen on Oracle's Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Serving more than 2.3 million customers, TruGreen required a modern cloud-based ERP System that would deliver a nimble, scalable solution following its spinoff from parent company ServiceMaster. The nation's largest lawn care provider needed an innovative option that would eliminate the burden of daily maintenance and concerns over securing their IT operations.
Following evaluation of multiple ERP solutions, JD Edwards was the platform of choice, given the strength of its capabilities as well as TruGreen's comfort level with the application prior to divestiture from ServiceMaster. TruGreen then put their trust in Velocity as their cloud advisor, mapping the requirements of the organization with alternative public or private cloud solutions. Considering TruGreen's goals, leveraging Velocity's SMART™ decision analysis model, Velocity's managed cloud experts chose Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as the ideal solution and strategized an implementation plan on OCI to help TruGreen fully leverage its JDE investment.
"JD Edwards was a natural choice for the TruGreen organization as its application capabilities mapped well to our requirements," said Ken DeWitt, Chief Information Officer, at TruGreen. "Velocity's breadth and depth of JD Edwards expertise, combined with their managed cloud experience, will enable our organization to focus on growing our business and protecting our leadership in the lawn care industry."
"We are thrilled to welcome TruGreen to Velocity's JD Edwards family. Our organizations are perfectly aligned to help TruGreen realize their business objectives as they take advantage of new digital technologies in the cloud," said Judithe Kennedy, Senior Vice President of the JD Edwards line of Business at Velocity.
Critical to the delivery of a successful implementation, Velocity's Cloud Application Management Platform™ (VCAMP®) will continue to provide significant value for TruGreen providing application visibility, security, and operations clarity from the VCAMP analytics platform.
