SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(Business Wire)--
JDA® Software Group, Inc.(NASDAQ: JDAS), the leading provider of Price Sensitive
Revenue Management technology for the service-based transportation industry,
today announced that it will unveil new revenue management strategies that
freight and passenger rail operators across North America can implement to
realize true business transformation at Terrapinn`s USA Rail 2009 conference in
Chicago, Sept. 9 to 11.
During the conference, JDA Software`s Anand Medepalli, vice president,
transportation industry strategy, will present the "Real Results from Pricing
and Revenue Management for Passenger Rail and Freight Operators" session on
Sept. 10 from 10:50-11:20 a.m. Central, which will make the case for pricing and
revenue management as a fundamental requirement to the success of rail
companies. The session will also highlight best practices and successful revenue
management strategies adopted by leading passenger rail and freight companies to
improve revenue, yield and efficiency.
With more than 20 years of delivering ground-breaking revenue optimization
technology to leading companies around the globe, JDA Software is taking revenue
management to a new level with its next-generation Price Sensitive Revenue
Management (PSRM) solution. While traditional revenue management technology
produces forecasts based on the assumption that prices stay more or less
constant, PSRM is designed to address today`s business challenge of operating in
a fluid, dynamic pricing environment. Rail operators leveraging PSRM can benefit
from a market-wide view of demand for all products and services, enabling the
entire organization to operate using one forecast that has been generated across
pricing, revenue management, capacity planning, sales and marketing, and the
overall budget-planning processes.
"We look forward to USA Rail 2009, where we will showcase how our international
passenger rail and cargo freight operator customers have been able to
successfully embed pricing and revenue management solutions into their
day-to-day processes. As a result, these companies have experienced dramatic
benefits in terms of revenue increases and efficiency gains," said Andy Archer,
group vice president, services industries, JDA Software.
