JDA Software Group has released JDA Connect for SAP HANA, a pre-packaged solution enabling rapid integration between JDA Manufacturing Planning and SAP ECC running SAP HANA.
Rapid end-to-end planning cycle times are increasingly critical to customers that deal with complex supply chains and highly volatile customer demand. Faster planning removes latency between real-time events and supply chain plans, allowing customers to adjust as necessary.
JDA customers leveraging SAP ECC will now be able to create seamless connections with JDA Manufacturing Planning, providing the ability to process planning data an order of magnitude faster, while decreasing implementation time and cost.
Connecting all pertinent business objects between SAP and JDA, this rapid integration solution performs integrity checks and aggregations on data elements using different SAP HANA Views in real-time.
“JDA continues to invest in new technologies that help companies transform their supply chain processes to quickly and profitably respond in today’s digitally enabled world. JDA Connect is proof of this, and enables SAP HANA customers to leverage seamless integration with JDA’s industry-leading supply chain planning and execution platform,” says David Johnston, senior vice-president: solution strategy at JDA. “In fact, we have seen particularly strong traction in the market with customers adopting our Manufacturing Planning solution recently, and this integration is a compelling combination for customers leveraging SAP HANA in tandem with JDA, to not only make faster planning decisions, but to enable a powerful, end-to-end supply chain.”
JDA Manufacturing Planning – recently positioned as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning System of Record, 2016 – is a unified solution that offers a seamless experience across the extended supply chain, including forecasting and planning, procurement planning, promotion, production planning and scheduling, network and inventory optimization, and collaboration. Powered by highly efficient in-memory processing, JDA customers realize significant improvement in user productivity with the flexibility and scalability needed to drive competitive advantage. JDA Manufacturing Planning also makes forecasting, procurement, production, inventory and logistics decisions better and faster through seamless planning, optimization, rapid scenario planning and what-if analysis.
