    Working with JDA is fantastic. Those who work with JDA are easily accessible and get the answers you need. The ability to join the JDA community is vast, there's so much experience in the users of the technology. I've been working with JDA for over 8yrs and still learning. My only downfall is that local training can sometimes be hard to attain.

    Implementation was complicated, given the cultural change that was needed.

    JDA has deep technical skills and product knowledge, they were able to lead us through the process effectively with regards to the application suite and usage thereof. I would recommend working with JDA as system implementors; there are few people that understand the product as well as their consultants do.
