Who is using
Approval Express?

What is Approval Express?
Approval Express is a bolt-on product to your existing JD Edwards system. Designed for both World Software and EnterpriseOne (OneWorld) users, the solution routes POs, invoices or any document that requires approval from JDE to Outlook, Lotus Notes, Blackberry or Windows mobile device. These can then be approved or rejected via your regular email inbox from anywhere in the world without having to sign into JD Edwards and are then securely routed back to automatically update JDE.

How will Approval Express benefit my business?
Approval Express allows senior management and approvers to respond to approval requests on the move from anywhere in the world via Blackberry, Windows mobile device, Outlook or Lotus Notes thus significantly speeding up your organisation's entire approval processes. Approvers no longer need to sign into JD Edwards which means that user licenses can be reallocated to other areas of the business from management employees that only sign into JDE to approve requests. Approval Express provides business process improvements and greater control as well as bottom line cost savings from the day that you begin using it.

What are the software prerequisites to install the product?
The product supports both EnterpriseOne and World software. The benefits can be utilised by any organisation using the JD Edwards Purchase Order Management module.

How long does it take to install?
The installation typically takes just two days and can be done either onsite or remotely.

Does it affect my existing JD Edwards procurement set up?
No. Approval Express simply sits alongside your JD Edwards system and does not interfere with your existing processes and set up in any way.

How much does it cost?
Our pricing structure is based upon the total number of JD Edwards installations within your organisation as opposed to Approval Express users which means that the product can be rolled out to 100's or even 1000's of approvers across the globe at no additional cost. Prices start from just £10,000 for a perpetual, unlimited user license.
