Hosts Chandra and Paul wrap up their discussion on de-customization of JD Edwards with Pete Cotton, Business Analyst at Irex Services, LLC. Pete emphasizes the importance of cultivating a culture conducive to change management, regularly reassessing customizations, and including cross-functional staff to maintain control over system customizations. Chandra and Paul underscore the need to understand the "why" behind business requirements and document the business justifications for changes.
