Driving
End-to-End Supply Chain Innovation: 2010 to Present
In January
2010, JDA Software finalized the acquisition of i2 Technologies. This exciting
milestone solidifies JDA’s position as the world’s leading provider of
innovative supply chain management and pricing excellence solutions, serving a
combined customer base of more than 6,000 companies of all sizes in the process
and discrete manufacturing, wholesale distribution, retail and services
industries.
The addition of i2 doubles JDA’s market for advanced
planning and optimization solutions across all targeted manufacturing vertical,
strengthens JDA’s presence in transportation and increases traction in Tier 1
and Tier 2 markets. By bringing together the best solutions, services and the
most dedicated supply chain experts in the industry, JDA can accelerate
innovation and deliver even greater value to its current and future customers.
Enabling the Consumer-Driven Supply Chain: 2006-2009
With the acquisition of Manugistics in July 2006, JDA gained additional
capabilities in providing supply and demand management, pricing and
transportation and logistics solutions. These capabilities also enabled JDA to
rethink the traditional view of how to optimally supply goods to the consumer.
JDA emerged as a market leader uniquely positioned to help companies become more
consumer-driven while also optimally planning various aspects of their
businesses – from raw materials acquisition, through manufacturing and
replenishment to the store shelf.
JDA’s unbeatable combination of
advanced optimization and execution solutions continue to deliver clearly
differentiated expertise and compelling innovation. What’s more, JDA’s solutions
provide insight into consumer behaviors and patterns, enabling proactive action
as changes occur.
JDA’s extensive customer base consistently
demonstrates its loyalty by extending investment in JDA solutions and services.
In fact, existing JDA customers represent more than 65 percent of software
license sales each quarter – a true testament to the real supply chain results
that JDA repeatedly delivers.
Expanding into New Markets –
Consumer Goods and Wholesale Distribution: 2000-2005
Building
upon its heritage in retail systems, JDA initiated a strategic plan in 2000 to
provide solutions for consumer goods manufacturers and wholesaler-distributors.
This initiative launched a period of aggressive acquisition activity during
which JDA successfully finalized eight acquisitions. Two of these acquisitions
in particular enabled JDA to diversify its revenue base, expand its product
offering and boost market leadership with companies outside of retail. These
acquisitions included:
- April 2000: Intactix, the market-leading provider of space management
solutions for retailers, suppliers and manufacturers, adding more than 3,000
customers worldwide to JDA’s customer base
- September 2001: E3 Corporation, the global leader of inventory optimization
systems, adding 550 customers in retail and wholesale distribution in 20
countries to JDA’s customer base
During these years JDA also innovated
and expanded its Store Systems offering with the addition of workforce
management software and a Java-based point-of-sale application. Additionally,
JDA established its revenue management suite by acquiring applications for
advertising, marketing and promotion management along with trade funds
management. Another key acquisition during this period enabled JDA to offer
advanced optimization and data-mining applications.
Going Public
and Setting Growth Strategy: 1996-1999
After 10 successful
years as a privately held firm, JDA became a public corporation on March 15,
1996. JDA also repurchased the original Canadian "JDA" company in 1996 and
reestablished its presence in Canada.
With the financial freedom to
strategically expand its solution offering, JDA looked externally for
complementary, high-value solutions. JDA completed its first major acquisition
in 1998, Arthur Retail, which established the growing company as the market
leader in advanced planning and allocation software, adding approximately 240
loyal companies to JDA’s customer base.
The Beginning – A
Canadian Entrepreneur in Retail Software: 1978-1995
In 1978,
James D. Armstrong formed JDA Software Services in Calgary, Alberta, which grew
to be one of Canada’s largest IBM mid-range software providers. The Canadian JDA
business was sold in 1985, and Armstrong along with a partner formed the
U.S.-based JDA Software, Inc. in Cleveland, Ohio. The company delivered quality
packaged software and consulting services that addressed the retail industry’s
information management and transaction processing needs. After signing a
substantial contract with a Phoenix-based automotive retailer in 1987, all eight
JDA employees relocated to the new corporate headquarters in Arizona, where JDA
has grown to its current position as the world’s leading provider of innovative
supply chain management and pricing excellence solutions.
