Is it possible to get the lack of references tag removed? There are three third-party references and all of the information on this page coming from those references is indisputable.

This reads more like an advertisement than actual NPOV article. The business-software.com site for instance has only strengths of the company, with no actual backing of facts. I'm adding the POV check template. 137.183.232.22 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:50, 27 September 2011 (UTC).Reply

Request to Modify Inaccurate Content on the JDA Software and RedPrairie Wikipedia Pages

edit

Hello Wikipedia volunteer team,

I would like to bring to your attention some inaccurate content (highlighted below) that has been posted on the JDA Software and RedPrairie Wikipedia pages.

JDA Software (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JDA_Software) On 5th Dec, 2012[11] JDA Software was acquired by RedPrairie, a privately held supply chain, workforce and all-channel commerce software provider headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia in the United States. Shortly after the merger, JDA’s CEO Hamish Brewer, announced that 70% of RedPrairie jobs would be offshored to India and that mediocrity would be unacceptable to JDA.[12]

RedPrairie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RedPrairie) On 5th Dec, 2012 the company acquire JDA Software, a software and consultancy company in Scottsdale, Arizona providing supply chain management, merchandising and pricing solutions. Shortly after the merger, JDA’s CEO Hamish Brewer, announced that 70% of RedPrairie jobs would be offshored to India and that mediocrity would be unacceptable. [2]

1. The December 5, 2012 date listed as the acquisition date is inaccurate. The completed merger was announced on December 21, 2012 as noted in the press release found at this link. http://www.jda.com/company/press-releases/pID/2165/

2. JDA CEO Hamish Brewer did not announce that 70% of the RedPrairie jobs would be offshored to India.

3. The TechTarget article cited at the end of the highlighted comments is in no way connected to the comment posted. We are unable to identify a credible source for the statement so that it can be verified. (http://searchmanufacturingerp.techtarget.com/news/2240173890/RedPrairie-JDA-acquisition-shakes-up-supply-chain-software-landscape)

I would like to ask this community to please consider modifying these posts to more accurately reflect the nature of the JDA/RedPrairie merger. If you would like additional third-party accounts of the merger to assist with an accurate representation of the transaction, we recommend these:

Request to edit company description

edit

Please note: JDA is not a consultancy company. JDA is a software and SaaS (software as a service) company and is co-owned by Blackstone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.108.141.110 (talk) 19:36, 22 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Please provide a source to verify the requested changes, most importantly, the claim of co-ownership with Blackstone.[a] Please note that many SaaS companies include feedback considerations given to their clients along with the software-as-services they provide, which in theory counts as consulting. Also, if the IP editor receives, or expects to receive, compensation for any contribution they make, they must disclose their employer, client, and affiliation to comply with Wikipedia's terms of use and the policy on paid editing.

Notes

  1. ^ The article already states that On August 8, 2016, JDA was reported to be exploring to sell the company to Honeywell International Inc. The sale was challenged on August 16, 2016 by The Blackstone Group, giving an alternative option to JDA by offering a financing plan. This claim does not clarify what the end result of offering a financing plan was; thus the involvement of Blackstone remains unclear. An updated reliable source would clear any confusion.
Please see references on the Blackstone Group that clarify the end result of their involvement with JDA Software here: https://jda.com/knowledge-center/press-release/jda-completes-previously-announced-575-million-equity-investment-from-blackstone. Regards, Corporate Communications Marketing Coordinator, JDA Software. 207.108.141.110 (talk) 18:36, 27 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
That source states that there was an investment made by Blackstone to recapitalize the company, but it does not state in those words that the company is "co-owned" by Blackstone. If the information is to be added to the article, the language used needs to align with that used by the company press release (sufficiently paraphrased).

JDA SoftwareBlue Yonder, Inc – Rebranded Company name BackBay20 (talk) 18:56, 4 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

This is a contested technical request. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:09, 4 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

I think "Blue Yonder" works or "Blue Yonder (Company)" given that the name could also have other references. BackBay20 (talk) 18:30, 12 May 2020 (UTC)BackBay20Reply
