J.D. Edwards first to enable supply chain collaboration among multiple trading exchanges

Johannesburg, 15 Aug 2000

J.D. Edwards & Company, a leading provider of agile, collaborative business solutions for the economy, is the only business software vendor to offer companies the ability to capitalize on new revenue opportunities by enabling supply chain collaboration with buyers and sellers in multiple trading exchanges. With over 45 exchanges and e-hubs currently using J.D. Edwards` collaborative commerce solutions, the company has quickly established itself as the market choice for marketplaces. J.D. Edwards provides open, collaborative technology necessary to simultaneously relationships with multiple trading partners regardless of what type of trading exchange or marketplace platform.

J.D. Edwards OneWorld provides the most advanced and extensive technology available to support companies participating in online marketplaces. J.D. Edwards`s customers can simultaneously communicate with buyers and sellers within all marketplaces whether powered by technology from Ariba Inc., Atlas Commerce, Commerce One, IBM, iPlanet or i2 TradeMatrix. This allows companies to take full advantage of multiple revenue channels and can increase profitability while reducing costs and streamlining the commerce process.

"Digital marketplaces are revolutionizing how organizations conduct business with other organizations. And, with the variety of Internet exchanges available, companies often choose to participate in multiple marketplaces. To be successful and increase revenue and reduce operating costs these companies must collaborate with all buyers and sellers regardless of their internally used technology," said Dave Girard, chief operating officer at J.D. Edwards. "We are providing customers the ability to optimise their trading partnerships while continuing to manage changes in marketplace conditions to take full advantage of new revenue channels."

"J.D. Edwards is the only vendor that allows companies the freedom to choose what exchanges they want to participate in, and how they want to participate. Other vendors lock their customers in to certain types of digital marketplaces because their proprietary technology does not communicate across multiple platforms. This is a true obstacle to success in the Internet economy," said Girard. "J.D. Edwards has eliminated this obstacle."
