IBM, J.D. Edwards form strategic alliance

Published on March 19, 2001; Published on January 19, 2011

IBM Corp. said on Monday it has signed a deal to market and sell the manufacturing and distribution software of J.D. Edwards & Co. on IBM servers and mainframes.

Topics :: IBM , Sun Microsystems Inc.

Denver-based J.D. Edwards said the exposure to come from this three-year agreement could increase its revenue by as much as 10% a year. It posted revenue of about US$1 billion last year.

J.D. Edwards joins a number of other software companies that IBM has signed strategic deals with in an effort to keep customers from moving to hardware made by rivals such as Sun Microsystems Inc.

As part of the deal, J.D. Edward will develop its programs based on IBM hardware and database platforms. And IBM will offer the companies' combined products to a wide range of customers, via IBM's global sales force.
