JDA Software Launches New Managed Services Offering for Transportation & Logistics Management at the 2009 CSCMP Annual Conference

Unprecedented supply chain, environmental and industry challenges combined with economic pressures are driving up freight expenses and degrading service levels for shippers of all sizes. In recent years companies have turned to advanced Transportation Management Systems (TMS) for more efficient processes and cost savings. Yet the TMS market continues to be underpenetrated as transportation and logistics teams are slowed by internal roadblocks such as overburdened IT departments and constrained capital budgets¹.

JDA^® Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS) will launch a new, cost-effective solution targeted at companies that want to tackle their transportation and logistics challenges but lack the IT and capital resources to do so at the 2009 Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) annual global conference in Chicago, Sept. 20-23. JDA TMS Managed Services™ is an end-to-end solution that can enable companies to leverage the market-leading capabilities in JDA’s Transportation & Logistics Management software along with JDA’s winning approach to managed services, Software-as-a-Service and hosted deployments.

"Transportation executives are competing with a long line of other business teams all demanding IT resources and capital allotments, which frequently result in delayed TMS initiatives,” said David Johnston, senior vice president, manufacturing and distribution, JDA Software. "JDA TMS Managed Services will appeal to a whole new audience of companies that want access to the comprehensive capabilities available in our Transportation & Logistics Management solution.”

"While we’ll continue to deliver our TMS solutions through traditional, on-premise deployments, JDA TMS Managed Services provides accelerated delivery and ongoing management of our flexible, yet preconfigured offering designed to enable measurable improvements in just eight to 12 weeks,” Johnston added.

New TMS Offering Leverages 20-Plus Years of Transportation Expertise

Based on more than 20 years of transportation expertise and real-world experiences at hundreds of customer sites, JDA TMS Managed Services can scale to support the simplest regional logistics network to the most complex multi-modal global network. With JDA’s solution, companies can avoid a hefty initial capital investment, the hiring of specialized staff and the costs associated with software, maintenance, network and infrastructure upgrades – leading to a lower total cost of ownership for their IT investment.

JDA representatives will be available at the CSCMP Learning Exchange Booth #214 to provide more details on the flexible pricing, configuration and implementation options for JDA TMS Managed Services. CSCMP attendees can also join JDA’s Dawn Salvucci-Favier, senior director product management, on Tuesday, Sept. 22 from 3:45 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. as she co-presents the findings of the "18th Annual Survey: Trends and Issues in Logistics and Transportation.” This in-depth study supported by JDA examines global and domestic transportation expenditures and how firms are developing key supply chain practices that are sustainable in any economic condition.
