“We believe Infor’s placement as a Visionary
in this Gartner Magic Quadrant recognizes our ability to provide CloudSuites
that are designed to serve certain specific needs of a variety of industries,
including manufacturing,
healthcare, distribution, public sector,
retail and hospitality,”
said Soma Somasundaram, Infor chief technology officer and president of
products. “Infor’s CloudSuites utilize our leading technology platform, Infor
OS to power next-generation user experiences, integrations and workflows, which
are designed to help increase productivity and collaboration.”

 

“Infor CloudSuites deliver back-office
operations, key industry analytics and reporting — along with mobile access and
implementation accelerators — in an effort to help lower companies’ risks and
help keep them current with the latest innovations,” he added. “This can
provide enterprises with agility and flexibility to help drive performance and
scalability and assist in reducing time-to-value.”

 

In its Magic Quadrant for Cloud ERP for
Product-Centric Enterprises, Gartner notes that, “By 2022, 30% of large
enterprises will have moved to a platform- and product-centric approach with
standardized ERP capabilities at the platform core.”

 

In addition, the report stated, “By 2025, the
top four ERP vendors will rebrand themselves as business platform providers.”

According to the Magic Quadrant report, “Gartner defines a product-centric
cloud ERP suite as a
set of loosely coupled products comprising:

• Operational
  ERP — supply chain and manufacturing-related functionality such as demand
  management, order management, material requirements planning (MRP),
  inventory management, supply chain/direct procurement, manufacturing
  control capabilities, and distribution/logistics.
• Financial
  management functionality (those vendors that provide only financial
  management as a suite are rated in a separate Magic Quadrant).
• Purchasing
  focused on indirect goods, services and capital equipment.
• HCM —
  for cost management as well as staffing for operational resources.
• Specialized,
  industry-specific modules or applications including, but not limited to,
  modules such as configure-to-order (CTO) or make-to-order (MTO), and field
  service management (FSM), or broader application solutions like enterprise
  asset management (EAM) and product life cycle management (PLM).”
