JDA
Software, Inc., today unveiled the agenda for JDA
ICON – the Intelligent Supply Chain Conference, which will take
place May 7-10, 2019 in Dallas, Texas. Formerly called FOCUS, JDA’s
annual global customer conference, ICON
takes the best of FOCUS – the leading conference for savvy supply
chain and retail executives and up-levels it with an infusion of
innovation to help customers digitally transform their business,
increase competitive edge and positively impact the bottom line.

More than 2,000 delegates will attend ICON, which will include customer
presentations focused on real results achieved using artificial
intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). JDA ICON is supported by
more than 50 partner sponsors, including Diamond sponsors Microsoft and
Panasonic, and platinum sponsors FourKites and Honeywell. Many of these
partners will demonstrate how they are leveraging JDA’s SCM Platform to
build additional business and technology capabilities that embrace and
extend JDA’s leading solutions portfolio using APIs.

“Delivering customer value is maniacal focus for JDA. As a testament to
this, at ICON this year we’ll have more than 100 sessions led by our
valued customers, including a number that will detail how they are
leveraging edge technologies like AI and ML to deliver real business
results and competitive advantage,” said Kevin Iaquinto, chief marketing
officer, JDA. “This is the first big customer conference in the U.S.
where we’ll welcome our colleagues from Blue
Yonder and their customers that are using AI, ML and the Cloud to
deliver amazing business results using our JDA®
Luminate SaaS portfolio. We look forward to hosting all of our
customers and partners in a few weeks!”

ICON will explore how technology like AI and ML are fundamentally
changing the way customers shop and do business – saving resources while
fueling faster, more intelligent decision-making. ICON marries best
practices and real-life examples with the future of supply chain,
harnessing the power of the intelligent edge in addressing planning,
retail and execution challenges. More than 70

Get a Glimpse into the Future Autonomous Supply Chain™

This year’s Innovation Zone will demonstrate how companies can start to
run their supply chains and retail environments more autonomously using
applications like JDA®
Luminate™ Control Tower to better predict and prevent disruptions
across JDA’s supply chain planning, execution, retail solutions
portfolio. Attendees will learn how to digitally transform product
delivery, optimize forecasts, inventory and pricing, and create more
seamless customer experiences from end-to-end.

JDA ICON Preceded by Supply Chain Industry’s First Developers
Conference – JDA DEVCON

For the first time, JDA will host its first-ever developers conference
one day before ICON begins, on May 6, 2019. JDA
DEVCON will give developers, engineers and coders an opportunity to
learn about JDA’s APIs and applications in a one-day immersive
conference experience. With 250+ attendees in addition to the 2,000 ICON

AI-powered Supply Chain Management (SCM) Platform which enables
customers as well as application development and technology partners to
create cutting-edge applications on top of JDA’s solutions for the first
time.

Ryan Lowdermilk, Product Technical Specialist with Microsoft, and

be DEVCON’s featured speakers. Attendees will get a first-hand look at
JDA’s new
AI-powered
Supply Chain Management (SCM) Platform, learn what the key
considerations are for JDA with Microsoft Azure as a development
platform, and understand how data science, ML and AI play into equation.
With hands-on with workshop sessions on JDA’s Luminate and supply chain
execution portfolios, this is a unique developer’s event not to be
missed.
