iLearn ERP celebrates Elizabeth Schriefer as a woman breaking barriers in IT

Women in IT: Breaking Barriers & Building Legacy at BLUEPRINT 4D

The world of Information Technology has long been shaped by innovation, complexity, and historically, the underrepresentation of women. But this year at BLUEPRINT 4D in Las Vegas, the energy was different. It was filled with stories of progress, leadership, and recognition that signaled a powerful shift in the narrative.

At the heart of that shift? Elizabeth Schriefer was honored with the prestigious Quest Spirit of Service Award for her outstanding contributions to the Quest Oracle community. Elizabeth was the keynote speaker and panel facilitator for the Women In Technology luncheon.

Celebrating Women Who Lead

Elizabeth’s journey isn’t just about a long list of accomplishments (though there are plenty!). It’s about quiet perseverance, authentic leadership, and unwavering commitment to helping others succeed. As a leader at iLearnERP, she has guided clients through complex change, helped teams adapt to new systems, and mentored professionals—both new and seasoned—across the ERP space.

Her Service Award reflects years of advocacy, insight, and generosity in sharing knowledge with the broader JD Edwards community. At a time when digital transformation moves fast and people often struggle to keep up, Elizabeth has been a steady voice reminding us that technology only works when people are empowered to use it well.

The Impact of Representation

Seeing a woman like Elizabeth recognized on a stage filled with technology leaders wasn’t just an inspiring moment—it was a reminder of what’s possible. Her presence challenges the long-standing stereotypes of who leads in IT and underscores the importance of visibility, mentorship, and opportunity.

For women in tech—whether just starting their careers or climbing into leadership—Elizabeth’s recognition is symbolic of the space being made, the ceilings being cracked, and the stories being rewritten.

Why It Matters at iLearnERP

At iLearnERP, we believe that diversity of perspective leads to stronger outcomes. Our mission isn’t just to train users or support ERP projects—it’s to empower people through change. And that means cultivating inclusive spaces where everyone can lead, contribute, and thrive.

We’re incredibly proud of Elizabeth—not only for the award itself, but for what it represents: a brighter, more equitable future for women in IT.

Join the Momentum

The conversation about gender equity in tech is ongoing and the progress made at events like BLUEPRINT 4D is worth celebrating. Let’s continue to lift each other up, create opportunities, and amplify the voices of those breaking barriers every day.

Congratulations again, Elizabeth—and thank you for leading by example.
