The Challenge of Traditional JDE Integration
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne™ is a comprehensive ERP system for finance, HR, sales, manufacturing, and logistics. However, integrating it with modern platforms like MuleSoft™ has historically presented significant hurdles.
Dependency on Java 8 libraries creates compatibility challenges with newer MuleSoft™ Runtime versions (Java 11 or 17).
Latency issues in WAN environments are due to older socket protocols.
Complications in server name resolution (DNS) require special workarounds in the Java JVM.
High development complexity and the need for specialized JDE knowledge.
The Innovative Atina Solution: JDE Connectivity Reimagined
Atina Connection is not just another connector; it's a complete architectural shift designed for the modern enterprise.
Advanced Microservices Architecture
The Atina JDE Connector is based on a dedicated microservice that communicates directly with JDE. Communication between the MuleSoft connector and the microservice is via gRPC (based on HTTP/2), which helps mitigate latency issues in WAN environments and robustly improves DNS resolution.
Simplified Development: Accelerate Your Innovation
We empower your developers to focus on what matters: business logic, not integration complexity.
-
Low-Code / No-Code Development ​
​​
The connector encapsulates complexity, allowing MuleSoft™ developers to interact with JDE declaratively, often through a drag-and-drop interface in Anypoint Studio.
​
-
Basic JDE Knowledge Recommended ​
​​
While deep expertise isn't needed, a basic understanding of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne™ concepts helps to maximize the connector's potential.
​​
-
Automated Complexity Management ​
​​
Automatically handles authentication, serialization, error handling, and reconnections, freeing up developers.
​
-
Rapid Implementation Times ​
​​
Get projects up and running in record time thanks to the connector's simplicity and automation.

Ways to Get Started
​
In-House Evaluation
For those evaluating the connector in-house, we provide a 30-day trial license with setup docs. Our team is available to assist with configuration and answer any questions.
Expert-Guided POC
A dedicated consultant (approx. 40 hours) can assist in defining the POC scope, answering questions, and supporting the development and testing of Atina JDE Connector components. This approach covers 1–2 simplified, end-to-end scenarios in a non-production environment.
Collaborative Sandbox
Once we receive the necessary details, our team will replicate your use case in our own sandbox and present the results. This approach is ideal for teams interested in the Atina JDE Connector but unable to allocate in-house resources for a POC.
Accelerated Implementation
Our team delivers end-to-end implementation of your use cases, aligned with your MuleSoft and JDE standards. This includes integration design, development, configuration, go-live support, and knowledge transfer. Projects typically span 1–2 months and require a commercial license at go-live.
Benefits for Your Business
Unlock tangible value by modernizing your integration strategy.​​
-
Increased productivity and operational efficiency.​
-
Reduction of integration costs and risks.​
-
Smarter decisions based on real-time data.​
-
Greater responsiveness to market needs.
Subscription Models, Delivery, and Support
Subscription
Product pricing is based on the desired term of the agreement (one year or three-year) and is not restricted upon the number of JDE servers, the server type (prod, dev, DR), LPAR’s, or middleware environments leveraged with the product license. In addition, we also offer cost-free evaluation licenses as well as proof of concept assistance.
Delivery
Connector products are available for download on our partner marketplaces but require a license available directly through Atina servers
Support
Standard:During the entirety of the subscription term, support will be provided entailing product deployment, error/bug resolution, best practice advice, as well as subsequent product releases
​
Priority:Expedited incident resolution, bug fixes, and small enhancements. Unused support hours can be rolled over for the following month.
​
Priority 24×7: Support engineer available for incident resolution during standard business hours and on-call rotations for all nights/weekends/holidays. Unused support hours are rolled over to the following month.
