JDA Software Launches New Growth and Investment Strategy in China
Supply chain software provider to expand presence in Middle Kingdom with significant increase in local workforce and launch of new local support and services center
Scottsdale, AZ — July 1, 2009 — JDA Software Group is looking to significantly expand its investment in China with additional resources and the launch of a new local support and services center to meet growing demand from local manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers for best-of-breed integrated supply chain and merchandising solutions, the company has announced.
According to AMR Research, Chinese consumers are enjoying growth in wealth that is three to five times faster than developed countries have experienced over the past 50 years1. As the manufacturer for the world, China has established a formidable capability to supply consumer products globally and retail them locally.
At the same time, JDA believes that the further development of this industry will demand supply chain efficiencies in order to provide the necessary capabilities to sustain long-term growth. JDA asserts that the huge manufacturing and retail industry that has been established in China over the past decades is now actively seeking the capabilities available in the types of supply chain optimization and merchandising systems that JDA offers.
In order to meet this growing demand for best-in-class solutions and services, JDA said it would quadruple the number of Chinese nationals available to serve existing and future customers in China across various roles that include support, consulting and sales over the next two years.
JDA also is opening a new support center in Shanghai with solution experts in both retail and supply chain management that will offer workshops on global best practices and other educational opportunities to local businesses.
"With growing interest among China's retail and consumer goods companies to adopt industry best practices, JDA is significantly ramping up efforts to serve this demand with a new support center and by increasing our local workforce to interface with our Chinese customers and prospects," said Stephen McNulty, JDA regional vice president for Asia Pacific. "Our new and expanded capabilities will enable JDA to rapidly ramp up and position us for substantial growth in the coming quarters."
