2) Proprietary Integration
Collaboration?
No problem!
. . . as long as everyone
uses my software
3) The Lock-In Effect:
Can one genius meet all your needs . . .

Gartner on J.D. Edwards
“[JDE] has successfully integrated Ariba and Siebel
Systems with World and One World and is crafting a
new model for real best-of-breed collaborative

Gartner on C-Commerce
ERP is the Key to C-Commerce
“…ERP remains crucial for effective, optimized operation in
many enterprises. As organizations seek competitiveness in
the ‘e’ world, they will look to become more flexible and
more focused on core competencies. In so doing, they will
find that ERP in the broader context of of a suite of
applications truly becomes a key platform for
successful evolution into c-commerce…”

Flexible Architecture
Analyst Thoughts
“Companies that have found it difficult to customize
their client/server ERP software are turning to
J.D.Edwards. OneWorld can be altered or upgraded far
more easily than ERP systems from SAP, Oracle, or
Baan all of which keep promising component based
architectures.”

The Importance of Component Architectures
“Intelligent supply chains will be built on new
componentized architecture models offered by leading
supply chain execution vendors that are built to
dynamically respond to supply chain events both
internal and external to the company…. Early leaders in
these capabilities include vendors such as Categoric Software,
Descartes Systems, Viewlocity, and JD Edwards/ Numetrix.”
