JDA Software Group, Inc. is an American software and consultancy company (owned by New Mountain Capital), providing supply chain management, manufacturing planning, retail planning, store operations and collaborative category management solutions[2] Located in Scottsdale, Arizona. The company claims to have 6,000 companies as customers in the manufacturing, distribution, transportation, retail and services industries.[3] Subsidiary companies include RedPrairie,i2 Technologies, Manugistics, E3, Intactix and Arthur.[2]
History
James Donald Armstrong founded JDA In 1978,Calgary, Alberta as a Canadian IBM mid-range software provider. In 1985 Armstrong sold the Canadian business and, along with a partner, Frederick M. Pakis, formed U.S.-based JDA Software, Inc. in Cleveland, Ohio. After signing a contract with a Phoenix-based automotive retailer in 1987, all eight JDA employees relocated to the new corporate headquarters in Arizona. After ten years of operation as a privately held firm, JDA became a public corporation on March 15, 1996, re-purchased the original Canadian "JDA" company and reestablished presence in Canada. In 1998, JDA completed their first major acquisition, the Arthur Retail division,[4] a vendor of planning and allocation software.
In April 2000 the company announced the acquisition of Intactix division,[5] a provider of solutions for space management for retailers, suppliers and manufacturers with more than 3,000 customers worldwide.[citation needed] In September 2001, JDA acquired E3 Corporation,[6] adding 500 customers in retail and wholesale-distribution in 20 countries. JDA acquired Manugistics in July 2006,[7] expanding their product line with supply management, demand management and pricing, and transportation and logistics applications.
On November 5, 2009, JDA announced its intent to acquire i2 Technologies, a Dallas based provider of Supply Chain Solutions.[8] The acquisition was completed in January 2010. In June of the same year, Dillard's Department Stores won a $246 million judgment against i2, claiming damages from use of two supply chain management systems. JDA announced efforts to reduce or reverse this judgment, noting Dillard's still uses the software in question and has done so since 2000.[9]
On December 21, 2012[10] JDA Software was bought by RedPrairie, a privately held supply chain, workforce and all-channel commerce software provider headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia in the United States for $1.9 billion.[11]
On April 2, 2013, JDA announced the release of JDA eight,[12] the most recent version of JDA’s flagship supply chain software product. JDA eight is a cloud-based supply chain planning, optimization and business analytics software product that reflects the global software trend of multi-product offerings on a single platform. The company’s marketing materials suggest that the product contains more than 30 different products in an effort to unify supply chain planning, optimization and business analytics for deployment in the cloud. JDA claims that its software is the first and only platform that connects critical supply chain functions from forecasting to transportation with built in business analytics.
