In Denver, Colorado, three men left the accounting world to form a software company that would specialize in midrange computing solutions. On March 17, J.D. Edwards was formed. It was in this effort that J.D. Edwards pioneered the CASE software development and design tool, which lends consistency across the broad range of J.D. Edwards' integrated applications. In 1988, the company began international expansion and opened a European headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, which has since been moved to Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom. Building on the CASE technology pioneered in the 1980s, OneWorld combines a full range of platform independent applications with an integrated toolset.
Organizations now have the power to configure their systems and applications as their needs change.
J.D. Edwards Solutions leverage OneWorld technology to enable the agile, collaborative e-business models essential for the digital marketplace. Today, J.D. Edwards is a publicly traded company that has more than 6,000 customers with sites in over 100 countries. Approximately 5,000 employees in more than 60 offices worldwide are proud to work for J.D. Edwards. The company attributes much of its success to a corporate culture that emphasizes quality at all levels. J.D. Edwards' commitment to its product quality, corporate culture, and customer-centric approach enables the company to deliver and support leading enterprise software solutions that solve business problems.
