With a focus on enabling the customer-driven value chain,
allowing companies to rapidly respond to market realities and
delivering improved visibility and productivity to users,
JDA® Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS), The
Supply Chain Company®, today announced the release of its latest
product roadmap.
Since its acquisition of i2 Technologies, Inc., on January 28,
2010, JDA has been focused on bringing together the two companies’
market-leading manufacturing, supply chain, merchandising and
transportation solutions. The result is a product roadmap that
supports the integration and ongoing innovation of those solutions
to provide customers with the most comprehensive, integrated
solutions offering that spans the entire supply chain, from raw
materials to the end consumer.
“We are proud today to announce a product roadmap that
demonstrates the breadth, depth and future direction of our
powerful suite of supply chain planning, optimization and execution
solutions,” said JDA President and Chief Executive Officer
Hamish Brewer. “Our focus throughout the process was to put the
customer first by providing a solutions offering that is easy to
implement, maintain and upgrade, delivers innovation with a rapid
return on investment and has a powerful impact on their bottom
line.”
The convergence of two of the industry’s leading solutions
offerings will not come at the expense of its customers. JDA
intends to continue supporting all products and will offer
customers the opportunity to move to new solutions on their own
timelines – within a normal upgrade cycle, for example.
“JDA’s ‘roadmap’ is less about how the different product sets
will be converged, or which products will get a greater share of
development dollars, than it is a set of principles and a framework
that sets out a sensible approach to achieving products that will
make customers happy both now and into the future,” said Steve
Banker, director, supply chain management, ARC Research.
JDA Product Roadmap Objectives
JDA’s product management group conducted the solution
integration process with an approach that went far beyond a
replacement strategy. Instead, the group focused on creating
superior solutions that are supersets of the combined product
functionality. Furthermore, JDA’s product roadmap objectives
include:
- Enabling the consumer-driven
supply chain to help companies realize one view of demand, use
customer insight to drive timely decisions and enable integrated
decision making across planning, optimization and execution
- Rapidly responding to market
realities by enabling companies to sense and profitably react to
real-time conditions, shape demand to match supply and proactively
monitor operations with recommended actions
- Improving visibility and
productivity through the use of dashboards, workflows and guided
analytics, as well as combining master-data management with
easy-to-use solutions that increase planner productivity.
The JDA product roadmap focuses on the development, delivery and
support of world-class solutions in 22 product areas. These product
areas include demand management; sales and operations planning;
price and promotion optimization; trade funds management;
execution, collaboration and visibility; Web commerce; supplier
relationship management; network design; inventory optimization;
supply chain master planning; factory planning; scheduling;
contract manufacturing; space and category management; enterprise
planning; assortment management; allocation; replenishment;
transportation management; store systems; merchandise operations;
and revenue management.
Rich Heritage of Innovation Supports Integrated Roadmap
Development
With the addition of i2 to the JDA family, the company now
offers the patented technology, industry knowledge and proven best
practices gained by the combined companies’ more than 40 years in
the supply chain industry. The pioneering ways of JDA and its
acquired brands—including i2, Manugistics, Intactix, E3, and
Arthur—supported the roadmap process, allowing the company to offer
solutions built on an undeniably rich heritage of customer success
and value delivery. The solution strategy supports the needs of JDA
customers across all geographies and industries, including
manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, retailers and services
industries companies.
“The knowledge transfer and collaboration that took place
throughout this process among professionals from our combined
companies was incredible,” said Namita Dhallan, JDA’s chief
product officer. “Tapping the deep industry and solution
expertise of our respective companies has allowed us to create a
product roadmap that will offer proven supply chain, merchandising
and pricing solutions to meet the toughest business challenges
facing our customers today.”
