Roadmap Outlines the Most Comprehensive Supply Chain Solutions Offering for Companies Spanning the Supply Chain from Raw Materials to the Consumer
With a focus on enabling the customer-driven value chain, allowing companies to rapidly respond to market realities and delivering improved visibility and productivity to users, JDA® Software Group, Inc.

Since its acquisition of i2 Technologies, Inc., on January 28, 2010, JDA has been focused on bringing together the two companies" market-leading manufacturing, supply chain, merchandising and transportation solutions.

"We are proud today to announce a product roadmap that demonstrates the breadth, depth and
future direction of our powerful suite of supply chain planning, optimization and execution solutions," said JDA President and Chief Executive Officer Hamish Brewer.
