OneWorld, introduced in 1996, provides a true distributed object architecture and an advanced business rules engine that transcend traditional client/server technology.

Its unique network-centric architecture separates business functionality from the underlying operating systems, communications, and database technologies, enabling organizations to embrace new technologies without rethinking or reengineering existing information flow. OneWorld’s architectural foundation, advanced graphical user interface, integrated toolset, and platform neutrality deliver the stability and flexibility necessary to deal with ever-changing business needs.

OneWorld combines mission-critical enterprise applications with extensive offerings specific to the rapidly changing needs of business today. OneWorld is an evolution of the J.D. Edwards’ popular WorldSoftware and WorldVision products and provides a bridge between traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP) functions and customer interaction programs such as customer support, direct marketing and sales force automation, creating dynamic, customer-centric supply chains.

OneWorld is designed from the ground up to interface with legacy business management applications, PC-based functions, best-of-breed niche solutions, reporting tools and other functions used by an organization. J.D. Edwards utilizes advanced application programming interfaces (APIs) to provide OneWorld with the flexibility to integrate with applications using a wide variety of databases, communication protocols, programming languages, standards and operating systems offering you a wide degree of freedom and flexibility to tailor the IT function and infrastructure to best suit your customer needs.

To maintain a competitive edge, your organization faces both business and technology challenges. J.D. Edwards addresses these challenges with multinational, multicurrency, global business solutions on an application architecture that masks complexity, leverages technology, and paves the way to the future.

Today, J.D. Edwards’ OneWorld and IBM Netfinity systems offer you the fully integrated, rich business functionality J.D. Edwards is known for, matched with the scalability, power, and performance of IBM Netfinity running Windows NT.

OneWorld’s Configurable Network Computer (CNC) is a type of software architecture that allows you to distribute application components to run on a variety of platforms without the need of a specific platform on which the database is run. This also allows the user to change technologies without rewriting applications. The OneWorld physical configuration include:

The Deployment Server - is the central point of the OneWorld installation process from which the Deployment Server distributes the OneWorld software to one or more enterprise servers and client workstations.
