Satyam ties up with US firm JDA Software

Hyderabad-based Satyam Computer Services has forged an alliance with US-based JDA Software Group, a provider of supply and demand chain solutions to 5,500 of the world's top retailers, manufacturers and suppliers. The two companies are already pooling their collective talent for Asia-Pacific (APAC) region customers.

The partnership will enable JDA, a company which has a strong foothold in Europe and North America, to leverage its retail and consumer packaged goods practice and strong APAC presence. In addition, Satyam will be able to optimise JDA Software's world-class solutions for its clients. These solutions address complex business challenges, providing customers with a single view of demand across the customer-driven value chain.

"This partnership and the investments it entails further bolster Satyam's commitment to companies in the retail and consumer packaged goods industry, which is booming in the APAC," Ganesan Sekar, senior VP, Satyam Retail Unit, said in a release issued today.

JDA is known for its superior software solutions, as well as its efficient implementation best practices. We are pleased to join forces with an organisation like JDA to enhance those services and complement them with our domain, functional and technical expertise, he added.
