| J.D. Edwards, born in 1977, is one of the world’s
leading software producers. The company has some 5500 clients in 111
countries and more than 5700 employees spread across the world (of
which 60% dedicated to consulting and client services). Last year,
revenue growth reached close to USD 1 billion.
Since 1991 J.D. Edwards has been serving an increasing customer base in Italy, today totalling
some 250 customers. Main offices are in Segrate (near Milan) and Rome.
Through OneWorld, J.D. Edwards offers advanced solutions for all
corporate applications areas. OneWorld is the most flexible ERP
product on the market and as such is ideal for integration with other
software solutions which are complementary to the core-business.
One
World was developed using an innovative components architecture
which separates company processes from the technological aspects,
rendering them independent. Consequently, users have maximum
flexibility of action and scalability irrespective of operating
systems and technological platforms. In fact, J.D. Edwards solutions
run equally on Windows NT, Unix and OS/400 and support applications
written in Java, HTML and XML. Furthermore, the system supports Oracle
and Microsoft SQL Server database applications and can run on the
principal international hardware platforms: IBM, Compaq, Hewlett
Packard, Sun Microsystems…
J.D. Edwards emphasises the importance of
Supply Chain optimisation, extending the traditional Back Office
environment to the Front Office world and offering Web-based Supply
Chain Planning and Supply Chain Execution solutions. Thanks to the
ActivEra tool suite, system modifications can be made in an easy,
secure and rapid manner.
In order to help its customers face the new
e-business world, J.D. Edwards has developed ActivEra E-Business. This
tool allows the creation of the virtual company by extending the
processes and strategies of the company beyond traditional boundaries.
Information flows from clients and suppliers are integrated with those
of the company and ultimately with those of the market itself. Aside
from complete accessibility to all available OneWorld applications
(via the Web), ActivEra E-Business offers extensive self-service,
business to business, business to consumer and business to employee
solutions. Other advanced functions which enhance efficiency and
collaboration amongst the supply chain’s components – such as, for
example, advanced work-flow functions – form part of the ActivEra
E-Business toolset.
My ActivEra Portal
adds to the OneWorld toolset:
simple and intuitive access to the totality of a company’s
information, applications and Business Intelligence systems is
effortlessly available. In addition, the portal guarantees access to
all the information required for the optimisation of every day
operations by Supply Chain users.
Finally, integrated into its ERP
solutions, J.D. Edwards offers e-business, Business Intelligence (for
example, Datawarehouse and Key Performance Indicator) and Customer
Relationship Management (CRM) solutions as an integral part of the
company’s broader knowledge management strategy. Advanced
applications from qualified partners (such as sales force supply and
management) and specific products for production process control and
scheduling, can further enhance the OneWorld offering.
J.D. Edwards,
whose world headquarters are in Denver (Colorado), has 36 subsidiaries
in the USA and a global network with offices in Africa, Latin America
and Asia. In Europe, J.D. Edwards is present with subsidiaries in
