New Integration for Oracle's JD Edwards World and Oracle's Demantra Demand Management

Oracle recently announced the general availability of a pre-built integration between Oracle's JD Edwards World and Oracle's Demantra Demand Management. The pre-built integration enables JD Edwards World customers to directly benefit from Demantra's best-in-class demand management functionality integrated with JD Edwards World 9.1.

"Oracle's latest offerings for JD Edwards World demonstrate the company's commitment to extending the World platform in ways that matter to its customers," said Andrews Consulting Group Senior Industry Analyst, Lee Kroon. "With Demantra Demand Management, enterprises will find it easier to respond to changing customer demands with greater agility while reducing inventory and distribution costs. For many manufacturing and distribution firms, such capabilities have become today's requirements for staying in business rather than tomorrow's goals. As such, we expect that World customers will take great interest in what Oracle is delivering today."

The new integration is available for JD Edwards World release 9.1 and enables organizations to:

• Automate the extraction of sales and sales history data from JD Edwards World into Oracle's Demantra
• Leverage Oracle's Demantra to perform sophisticated analytics and advanced forecasting calculations to create highly accurate demand forecasts
• Apply forecast information back into JD Edwards World Requirements Planning applications to help eliminate latency in decision-making by focusing on excellence in demand visibility, improving forecast accuracy, and shaping demand
