JDA Software and Sirius Form Strategic Alliance to Deliver Total, Optimized Solutions That Will Drive Customer Performance and Competitiveness

JDA® Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS) today announced the formation of a strategic alliance with Sirius Computer Solutions, Inc., an IBM Premier Business Partner and leading supplier of IBM hardware solutions and services. As a preferred provider of IBM hardware, Sirius will actively market JDA Software’s products and services to customers and prospects seeking new or additional business applications to improve their performance and competitiveness. Similarly, JDA Software will recommend Sirius as its preferred provider of IBM’s world-class hardware solutions. This synergy will not only deliver significant value to each company’s respective customers, but will also enable both Sirius and JDA Software to expand their solution offering and marketing efforts to existing and new customers.

According to Sirius President Joe Mertens, “We expect that working together on opportunities and being favorably introduced by JDA Software as a preferred provider of IBM hardware during joint sales calls will provide customers and prospects with a high level of confidence as they define their technology project scope and requirements. We can bring the in-depth knowledge and skills they need to help them size, configure and implement IBM solutions specifically for JDA Software solutions.”

Currently, a large percentage of JDA Software clients utilize IBM servers, storage and software as critical components of their enterprise IT environment. As a full solution provider, the new alliance agreement expands the resources and expertise that JDA delivers to its customers.

“JDA has established a strong reputation as a total enterprise solution provider that combines leading consumer driven value chain software solutions with best-in-class technical infrastructure,” said Chris Koziol, chief operating officer of JDA Software. “Our alliance with Sirius will allow our customers to get the best of both worlds by leveraging the strengths and capabilities of JDA and one of IBM’s premier business partners.”

Under the terms of the alliance, JDA Software and Sirius agree to mutually promote each other’s products and services, whenever appropriate, to U.S. customers and prospects. They will collaborate by sharing sales leads, conducting joint marketing campaigns and Web promotions, and appearing together periodically at strategic trade shows, user conferences and other industry events.
