Frequently Asked Questions
How much does JD Edwards support cost per month?
The only widely published bundle rates are ERP Suites': $7,000–9,000/month for OCI hosting plus managed services and $8,500–10,500/month on AWS. On a consumption model the monthly figure follows actual demand — in one published sample month, 142 service requests took 67.0 hours and came to $6,030 at $22.50 per 15-minute unit.
What does a JDE CNC administrator cost?
ERP Suites publishes CNC administration at $150–180 per hour, which is representative of the market for senior CNC skills. Under a consumption model there is no separate CNC rate: executed CNC work is priced at the same flat unit as everything else — $22.50 per 15 minutes.
How much is Oracle's annual maintenance for JD Edwards?
Roughly 22% of your net license value per year, the standard Oracle maintenance formula. Third-party support providers such as Rimini Street and Spinnaker position their fees at approximately half of that figure, with the trade-off that you leave Oracle's update stream.
What is the difference between T&M, retainer, and consumption pricing for JDE support?
T&M bills the rate card for every hour, so cost tracks ticket volume. A retainer charges one fixed fee regardless of consumption — predictable, but it never falls. Consumption prices each unit of executed work in advance and itemizes the statement, so a lighter month costs less and engineering out repeat work lowers the run-rate.
Can JD Edwards support costs actually go down over time?
Yes, but only if the contract is built for it. When recurring requests are automated and root causes fixed, demand falls — and under consumption pricing the cost falls with it. The published portfolio median is −8% in year one, −22% by year two, and −30% by year three over a 36-month measurement window.
