Positioning in Leaders quadrant based on ability to execute and completeness of vision
JDA® Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS), The Supply Chain Company®, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc., a leading technology industry analyst firm, in the Leaders Quadrant of the recently released Magic Quadrant for Transportation Management Systems (TMS).(1) JDA was identified among the leaders in an evaluation of 13 vendors included in the report.
"We believe our position in the Leaders Quadrant is a credit to the success our customers have achieved with our world-class transportation and logistics management solutions and services," noted Fab Brasca, vice president, global logistics, JDA Software. "We are very pleased with the convergence we have achieved between the Manugistics® and i2® solutions. We will continue to respond to the ever-changing global business environment by delivering innovative best of breed solutions to the marketplace."
JDA's transportation and logistics management solution suite features industry-leading products developed by i2 Technologies and Manugistics. Offering a comprehensive planning and execution platform, the solutions help shippers, carriers and third-party logistics providers more effectively manage multimodal logistics network complexities.
According to Gartner, Inc., "TMS continues to be seen as the key enabler that will help freight organizations to reduce total miles and empty miles, enable better utilization of freight capacities, minimize unnecessary moves, combine loads to use more-economical modes of transportation, and ensure that the least-cost modes and carriers are routinely chosen by users."(1)
Gartner's Magic Quadrant notes that, "Over the past few years, Gartner has found that shippers now recognize that transportation management is a multienterprise business process, in which, at a minimum, shippers and carriers must collaborate, but also, increasingly, suppliers and customers play a role in freight movements. This recognition of the multienterprise nature of freight now places more importance on the need for TMS to support the 'network' or community of carriers, suppliers and customers."(1)
