JDA Software Collaborates with EXE Consulting to Help Leading
  South Korean Food and Consumer Packaged Goods Manufacturer Improve
                    Efficiency and Stay Competitive
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(Business Wire)--
JDA(R) Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS) today announced that CJ
Corporation, a leading manufacturer and seller of refined sugar, wheat
flour, animal feed, food seasonings, medicines, processed meat and
other household products in South Korea, has implemented JDA(R)
Demand, Master Planning, Market Manager, Collaborate and Fulfillment,
all powered by Manugistics(R), as part of a supply and demand chain
system upgrade to derive maximum synergies from its core business
areas.

   CJ Corporation recently completed a benchmarking program with JDA
Software's solutions in Japan that resulted in significant superiority
over SAP APO, the competing supply chain software solution previously
utilized by CJ Corporation. To streamline deployment, JDA Software
entered into a strategic alliance with Korea's EXE Consulting and
Technologies to effectively implement supply and demand chain
solutions for this leading South Korean food and packaged goods
manufacturer.

   "CJ Corporation is acutely aware of the importance of supply chain
management," said Kim Ki-Jin - Manager of Speed Management Team, CJ
Corporation. "There are various demands and processes in the food and
consumer packaged goods industries, and the competition is constantly
increasing due to Korea's economic environment. With the deployment of
JDA Software solutions, CJ Corporation is now better equipped to
maintain its disciplined holding-company strategy for all of its
business entities."

   The manufacturer is confident that the JDA Software solutions will
provide one synchronized view of demand across the entire
organization, minimize the gap between planning and execution and
decrease stock levels in distribution centers throughout the whole
supply chain. Specifically, CJ Corporation expects that they will
increase forecast accuracy and decrease administrative expenses.

   "JDA's strength and experience in the food and consumer packaged
goods industries were the key winning factors for CJ Corporation's
supply chain system upgrade," stated Kang Suk-hyun, CEO of EXE C&T.
"CJ Corporation's supply chain system users were experiencing
difficulties using SAP, which really prompted us to seek an
alternative solution to simplify the connectivity between the demand
forecast and the manufacturing system."

   Rod Talbot, JDA Software regional vice president, Asia Pacific,
said, "With JDA Software supply and demand chain solutions,
enterprises gain the ability to effectively channel their energies to
adapt and take foreseeable steps toward maintaining a leadership
position in the global market. We look forward to continuing to
support companies like CJ Corporation in their quest to maximize sales
and revenues by optimizing the strategic, financial and operational
planning activities across their enterprise's consumer-driven value
chain."

forecasting and promotional data management, JDA Demand provides
retailers and consumer goods companies a solution that enables them to
pinpoint customer demand with the highest accuracy. With flexible
hierarchies for viewing data, JDA Collaborate provides comprehensive
