Infor: An introduction

SpECIAlIzEd

From manufacturing to fashion,

healthcare to hospitality and beyond,

Infor suites are tailored to the specific

needs of each industry we serve.

These purpose-built solutions mean

less customization, which translates

into less deployment effort and more

seamless upgrades over time.

SoCIAl

Infor Ming.le, a breakthrough social

business platform, goes beyond

posts, likes, and followers with

innovative tools and capabilities that

are specialized for the enterprise. Part

business collaboration, part analytics,

and part process management, Infor

Ming.le empowers businesses to

eliminate operational silos, more

easily connect employees across the

enterprise, and so much more.

BEAuTIful

Business applications have traditionally

been functional, but not much to look

at. We are changing that with business

software that’s beautiful and fun to

use because we believe that the

experience of using our software is just

as important as the technologies that

drive it.

Infor is one of the world’s leading suppliers of enterprise applications and

services, helping more than 70,000 organizations improve operations and

drive growth across a wide range of industry sectors.

Today’s users are experiencing a renaissance of user-centric consumer software—

beautiful, engaging, and easy-to-use applications such as Flipboard℠, Instagram℠,

Mint.com, and Facebook. With this in mind, Infor created Hook & Loop, an internal

creative think tank made up of more than 80 designers, information architects,

and creative storytellers, all focused on creating the next generation of business

applications for the next generation of business application users.

What the analysts are saying about Infor 10x

ENTERpRISE RElEASE

“Infor’s plan was to deliver a work experience that people would love using, and

IDC believes Infor has done so. SoHo looks great and customers like it, especially

when they can make their 20-year-old apps look and work like modern apps.”

“In 2012, Infor Global Solutions was the fifth largest vendor, following SAP, Oracle,

Microsoft, and Siemens, but grew its business faster than any of the top 4 and

faster than the market overall. Given the speed at which Infor is delivering new and

updated products (we’re expecting to see much more from Ming.le in the coming

months, plus an updated commerce product) to its existing customer base as well

as winning net-new customers, IDC expects Infor Global Solutions to continue to

expand its market share over the coming years.”

“Inforum 2013:

Industry Verticals”

Doc #241646,

June 2013

IdC

“Over the past two years new management has come in to re-energize the

business and raise the bar for innovation. At the center of Infor’s next generation

solutions are Infor 10x, a collection of purpose-built ERP suites, and ION, a modern,

lightweight middleware.”

“Infor’s Next

Cindy Jutras,

mINT JuTRAS

11INFOR 10x

“At a time where many large vendors have abandoned verticals, organizations

seek vendors who are committed to invest research and development dollars in

deep vertical functionality. Those vendors who go deeper and more specialized

in micro vertical industries, are seeing that differentiation on features and

functionality desired by customers will win over accounts.”

R “Ray” Wang, Principal

Analyst and CEO

CoNSTEllATIoN

RESEARCH, INC

“Gone the business applications that were designed to look like paper forms from

the 1980s. Gone the Web pages that resemble huge tabbed index cards—only

with more drop-down menus and fields than any sane person would like to fill out

in a lifetime of customer service requests. Instead, business software vendor Infor

is presenting customers with an interface for all of its applications that looks—and

more importantly, behaves—like a modern consumer social network. In a research

note, Peter Goldmacher, an analyst with Cowen and Co., said the company’s

‘massive investments’ in its user interface have served to ‘materially

close the gap between enterprise and consumer software usability.’ He added that

‘Infor is coming to market with the right product at exactly the right time.’”

Infor IoNpuRpoSE-BuIlT mIddlEWARE

Over the last 20 years, organizations have

accumulated a myriad of software applications,

most of which don’t work together. Disconnected

systems and information silos result in

inefficiencies, costly maintenance requirements

and, ultimately, missed opportunities.

Infor ION easily integrates a wide range of

disparate systems, providing a simple but

powerful framework for managing business

process flows, workflows, and alerts. By drawing

on open standards and widely supported data

formats, ION supports advanced capabilities

right out of the box to help businesses connect

applications quickly and efficiently. The result is

an integrated data and business process platform

that can reinvent the way businesses

work and how it feels to interact with core

systems—both for end users and IT.

Collaborate around process

Infor ming.leSoCIAl CollABoRATIoN plATfoRm

From email to IM, conference calls to shared

document management systems, organizational

communication is often disjointed, unaccountable,

and disconnected from the systems employees

use to do business. Key facts are lost. Orders

are left unfilled. Connections, opportunities, and

risks go unnoticed.

Introducing Infor Ming.le—a comprehensive

platform for social collaboration, analytics,

and business process management. From

collaborating alongside core systems—such as

ERP and financials—to “following” everything

from people to objects, Infor Ming.le users work

smarter and faster, together.

TECHNoloGy STACK

17INFOR 10x

Connect more than just users

Contextualize work

put data to work

Turn collaboration into a reality

Capture vital corporate knowledge

Infor Ming.le extends beyond traditional collaboration tools

by connecting users to business objects, machines, and

data, as well as colleagues. Identified objects, ranging from

purchase orders to power generators, trigger real-time

updates to interested parties across the organization.

Users can subscribe to these updates to receive an alert

upon every action and interaction related to the object, with

each alert stored in an auditable trail.

Infor Ming.le draws real-time information from multiple

applications—from ERP to EAM, Wolfram Alpha® to Twitter—

into a single platform, on a single screen. Infor ming.le

automatically knows the type of work a user is doing and

displays information relevant to that task, without requiring

the user to search for information and store the results.

Infor Ming.le gives relevancy to analytics by infusing them

throughout your core systems. Analytics and reports within

Infor ming.le feature full drillback capabilities, empowering

you to zero in on the issues that matter and easily keep

operations under control. For example, if total costs

suddenly spike on one production line, you can immediately

drill down and see which component of cost changed most

to contribute to the increase.

As users interact with Infor Ming.le, a map of the

relationships between employees and business objects is

created, forming a business social graph. The Infor ming.le

social graph improves productivity and collaboration by

eliminating the need for employees to seek out colleagues

to help with whatever comes their way.

Infor Ming.le captures vital corporate knowledge that can be lost through email and instant messaging, tracking

communications transparently in the context of business processes and providing a clear audit trail.

Tim, a sales

executive at a

manufacturer,

receives a rush

order from his top

customer. When

he enters the

order into the

ERP system, Infor

Ming.le alerts him

that the order

cannot be fulfilled

at this time.

Drawing

from multiple

Infor Ming.le

allows Tim to

Infor AnalyticsBuSINESS INTEllIGENCE plATfoRm


Empower every decision

When it comes to analytics, organizations

face two key hurdles—attaining a data-driven

overview of their business, and giving

employees access to key insights in a timely

manner. Unfortunately, most BI solutions don’t

deliver either, leaving many organizations in

a vacuum of outdated intelligence and siloed

reports. Instead of moving forward, these

businesses often have no option but to look

back, and base their decisions on metrics

that haven’t been relevant for days, weeks, or

even months.

Meet Infor Analytics—our game-changing BI

platform designed to deliver on the full potential

of business intelligence and everything it

can mean for your business. From real-time,
