JDA Software Announces Integrated Product RoadmapSCOTTSDALE, Ariz. --(Business Wire)-- JDA® Software Group, Inc., The Supply Chain Company®, today announced the release of its integrated product roadmap following the merger with RedPrairie. Since the completion of the RedPrairie merger on December 21, 2012, JDA has been focused on bringing together the two companies' product portfolios to create one global leader in supply chain, retail merchandising, store operations and all-channel commerce solutions. "From the onset, we knew product integrations for JDA and RedPrairie had to go beyond business as usual to create a solutions portfolio that is transformative to our customers and the industry as a whole," said Jean-Francois Gagne, chief product officer, JDA Software. "Instead of inward-facing analysis to determine the product roadmap, we put our customers at the center of every decision. The end result is an integration, innovation and development path prioritized by six key solution areas and underscored by the universal advantages of integrated planning and execution, improved supplier collaboration and cloud-readiness that resonate across our customer base." The six critical solution areas that make up the product roadmap are based on JDA customers' greatest challenges and where the company can offer the most value. These areas are retail planning, retail execution, commerce, warehouse, transportation and manufacturing/distribution. With more than 130 products comprising the JDA portfolio, customers can reduce their total cost of ownership and implementation headaches by partnering with a single provider that can optimize the flow of goods from raw materials to finished products and into the hands of consumers - through any channel. One of the most significant milestones outlined in the product roadmap is the Q1 2014 delivery of the company's first fully integrated planning and execution offering, combining JDA's supply chain planning (SCP) solutions and transportation management system (TMS) with RedPrairie's warehouse management system (WMS). The successful integration of these supply chain planning and execution solutions will offer companies unmatched advantages in the following areas:
While JDA aggressively pursues product integrations and innovations as outlined in the new roadmap, JDA chief executive officer Hamish Brewer makes it clear that the convergence of JDA and RedPrairie will not come at the expense of customers, neither in terms of cost or the level of service each customer receives. "JDA will support all products with the highest level of service that our customers have come to expect," said Brewer. "Customers will be given the opportunity to transition and upgrade based on their business needs and timelines consistent with JDA's standard upgrade processes and cycles. Because we've designed product trajectories with our customers' needs in mind, we're confident that the world's leading retailers, manufacturers and distributors will be in lock-step with JDA as we transform their greatest challenges into competitive advantage and new opportunities."
