We are proud to introduce some of the speakers who will be sharing their knowledge, insights, and experience at the JD Edwards Nordic Conference 2025. This year’s lineup brings together experts from Oracle, xperitus, Redfaire, and Cadran—a diverse group of professionals dedicated to helping organizations unlock the full potential of JD Edwards.
From Oracle, Bart Vanden Abeele and Mark Herwege, both Master Principal Solution Engineers, return once again. Well known within the JD Edwards community, they have attended every one of our conferences, consistently bringing deep technical expertise and valuable insights into the future of JD Edwards. This year, they will cover what has happened since the 2024 JD Edwards Nordics Conference, present the highlights of Release 25, and give an exciting preview of Release 26.
Martin G.P. Verheem, Account Executive for JD Edwards in the Benelux and Nordic regions at Oracle, will be joined by Anders Ottosson, Sales Manager for JD Edwards at xperitus. Together, they will lead a management session titled “A JD Edwards Success Story,” showcasing how one of the most successful JD Edwards customers is leveraging the system to drive the global production of sustainable products.
From the Netherlands, Cadran Analytics will be represented by Daniel Smith and Pim Dröge, who will discuss how organizations can generate real value with AI Analytics for JD Edwards. Daniel Smith, Business Development and Delivery Manager, has over five years of experience in management consulting, working with top-tier clients on data analytics and IT transformations. He brings a strong background in business model design and project management in complex environments. Pim Dröge, Data Scientist and Solution Architect, also has over five years of experience in applying AI to real-world challenges. Pim specializes in designing and implementing solutions that bridge technical architecture and business needs.

With partners in 23 countries across EMEA, the Americas, and Asia Pacific—including specialists such as xperitus and Cadran—the network combines deep local expertise with true global reach. Christian Fronteras, CTO Cloud at Redfaire, will be joined by Oracle’s Mark Herwege to deliver a session on “Modernizing JDE: A Practical Approach.” Together, they will explore how innovations such as low-code extensions, seamless cloud integrations, intelligent AI, modular cloud architecture, and OCI best practices can create real business value, while also sharing proven strategies for achieving true high availability with JD Edwards.
The team from xperitus will once again bring their extensive expertise to the conference. With decades of experience across industries and a proven track record of successful projects, the xperitus specialists cover the full spectrum of JD Edwards—from Sales, Pricing, and Finance to Procurement, Manufacturing, Quality Management, Integrations, Orchestrations, and much more. Their deep knowledge of both business processes and technology makes them a trusted partner for organizations looking to maximize the value of their JD Edwards investment.
