"JDA FOCUS is an event that helps us network with other customers, and at the same time learn more about the solution innovations JDA has planned for the future. Over the last few years we have had many of our associates from technology and business departments attend the annual conference. All of them return with valuable knowledge. I would definitely recommend FOCUS to existing and potential JDA customers."
