For JDA, Both Opportunity and Challenge Lay Ahead (AMR)

JDA Software completed the acquisition of Manugistics on July 6, 2006, for $213M. A few days later, the company reported second quarter results of $51.8M in revenue, a 6% decline from the same quarter last year. Software license revenue fell 32% to $10.4M, driven in part by the focus on internal operations, including the Manugistics acquisition.
