Mapeley Estates

Mapeley Estates Limited provides a range of services to portfolio and asset owning subsidiaries, owning and managing over 670 assets located in every major town and city in the UK.One of the largest commercial landlords in the UK with an annual revenue of £206 million, Mapeley Estates worked with Version 1 to upgrade and transform their JD Edwards applications.

Challenges

Mapeley Estates’ existing JD Edwards infrastructure was ageing, with the organisation wanting to take advantage of the latest tools and integrate JD Edwards to work with the rest of their software. Mapeley Estates also wanted to modify their footprint and simplify business processes through JD Edwards optimisation and retirement of modifications.

Overall, the upgrade went smoothly and was cost-effective, being completed under budget. Our users did not experience any disruptions

to their work, with us now having 99.9% pure JD Edwards software. We have jettisoned all of our modifications but have kept some custom objects that were required by our clients. We are also now able to use the latest tools in 9.2, and are now in a position where future upgrades can be done almost non-disruptively, which should help us keep maintenance costs to a minimum.
