JDA’S STRENGTH & WEAKNESS

JDA’s tradition & strengths are in retail systems & their merchandise & store planning systems are leading products for the retail industry. Manugistics is considered a leader and innovator in SCM for manufacturing and distribution companies.

Their combined enterprise software products, best practices & industry knowledge put JDA in a leadership position in S&OP, Demand Management and Supply Management. The TMS product acquired through the Manugistics acquisition is a full featured and top calibre transportation management system.

JDA’s weakness is the absence of WMS, CRM and SRM products. Without a complete integrated suite of SCM products, JDA is at a disadvantage when competing against vendors for who have integrated WMS, CRM and SRM.

The JDA software architecture & cross application support lacks the features & functionality of the other enterprise software solutions, including advanced functionality for system integration, web services & data management.

With their diverse technologies (including IBM midrange, Microsoft .NET and Java), JDA architectural challenges are further complicated

FINANCING SCM SYSTEMS

Once you add up planning, training, customization, interfaces & configuring software, implementing SCM software is almost always more costly than actual software license

Some of cost can be amortized over life of application software or built into a lease

In addition to onetime charge for licensing & implementation cost, software vendors charge annual or monthly fees for software maintenance & support
