Spinnaker Showcases Its End-to-End Consulting and Support Solutions as a Gold Sponsor and Speaker at JDA Focus 2013

DENVER, May 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Spinnaker, a global leader in supply chain consulting and supply chain execution services, is bringing its "Prescription for JDA Solution Health"- campaign to JDA Focus 2013. Over 2,000 JDA clients will be in attendance at their annual user conference taking place May 5-8, 2013 at the Orlando World Center Marriott Resort in Orlando, Florida.

FOCUS 2013 is the must-attend event for industry leaders in retail, manufacturing, wholesale distribution, transportation & logistics, and services industries.  As a Gold sponsor for the event, Spinnaker will be co-presenting an educational session with one of the industry's leading consumer foods manufacturers.  During this session, both companies will discuss lessons learned and the value gained from the recent upgrade of the client's JDA solution footprint to version 7.8.  Spinnaker will also be in the conference's Innovation Zone, where senior members of their JDA practice will be available for one-on-one discussions about attendees' consulting and support services needs.

Spinnaker's seasoned JDA consultants are amongst the industry's elite when it comes to JDA experience and utilizing best practices to help clients get the most from the people, processes, and technology that comprise their solution.  Spinnaker's clients are able to maintain business continuity and drive real operational improvements, thereby maximizing the value and life of their JDA solution.

"The economic cycles of the past few years have often resulted in a misalignment for JDA users between their business objectives and the current capabilities of their solution.  In many cases the diminished health of their systems combined with increased market complexity has reduced much of the overall benefit that these businesses were once capable of achieving," said George Fowler, Vice President of Spinnaker's JDA practice.  "Spinnaker has become a trusted partner to our clients, delivering end-to-end consulting and support services to help them recover solution value, improve system health, and capitalize on business opportunities that maximize their return on investment."

Spinnaker's JDA clients have achieved tremendous value by leveraging the supply chain firm's proven methodologies and best practices, such as innovative business process design, rapid implementation & upgrade methodologies, and industry leading JDA operations support.  Their expertise spans across multiple industries including retail, manufacturing, consumer packaged goods, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and telecommunications. After experiencing high growth in 2012, Spinnaker has now scaled its service portfolio even further to meet the ever-increasing market demand with more robust training programs and best-in-class diagnostic tools. 

"Spinnaker's expertise has enabled us to refine our customized, collaborative approach to meet the individual needs of our clients and help them to maintain process efficiency and system health," said Fowler. "Our clients want end-to-end solutions that can be rapidly deployed, while still retaining the ability to accommodate their unique needs.  We are pleased that they have responded enthusiastically to Spinnaker's commitment to deliver the best of both worlds, offering comprehensive solutions that truly maximize their value and yield a competitive market advantage.
