Faster, more collaborative, and easier to use.
At Infor, we don’t believe in standing still. Your business doesn’t and neither do the customers
you serve. Today matters, but what’s coming tomorrow? Knowing the answer is one thing.
Shaping it is another matter entirely. That is our mission for one simple reason—it’s what you
need to take your business to the next level.
In the last 5 years, Infor has delivered over 11,500 product enhancements and 300 new
applications. The 10x technology platform brought major enhancements to Infor’s core
product lines. Rolling out during the course of 2016 will be the Xi technology platform—an
evolution of 10x that features multi-tenancy, open source capabilities, mobile-first design,
and dynamic science analytics. And we have no intention of stopping there. We will continue
innovating with solutions and strategies based on the following three principles:
• Specialized by industry—We understand that the needs of dairy producers are different
than those of brewers or automotive manufacturers. As the world’s first industry cloud
company, we have built industry-driven cloud suites that give you last-mile functionality
with all the benefits of cloud deployment. Our range of industry solutions will continue
to expand.
• Powered by science—The next generation of enterprise software won’t just collect, report,
and distribute information. Infor is investing in data science to give you solutions that will
anticipate problems and respond with solutions. Our goal is to put the power of predictive
analytics at your fingertips.
• Built to work beautifully—Our intuitive, responsive, and elegant user experience design
empowers Infor applications to work the way you do. We’ve replaced confusing workflows
and complicated screens with a beautiful, consumer-inspired interface designed around
each user’s role. This focus on creating experiences people love will remain a key guiding
principle for every effort we undertake.
We encourage you to explore this Discovery Guide and learn about all that Infor has to offer.

Research from prominent industry analysts is abuzz with talk of Infor 10x technology,
which is easily available through the Infor Upgrade Program. Read below for a sampling
of expert opinions.
“
The ‘10x user experience strategy’ allows users to get
stuff done faster with fewer screens and clicks for better
comprehension, action and results.”
Ralph Rio
ARC Advisory Group
“
Infor’s commitment to an open source stack is another
key piece of its strategy to disrupt its main competitors
(SAP, Oracle), reducing and challenging their steady
technology license streams.”
Infor runs CloudSuite on AWS — Inflection Point or hot air balloon?
Holger Mueller
Vice President and Principal Analyst, Constellation Research, Inc.
“
SaaS adoption has been strong among medium and small
size organizations. Expectations are that this will extend
to larger enterprises. Infor’s CloudSuite fits this trend for a
lower initial acquisition cost with a proven infrastructure for
high security and reliability.”
Ralph Rio
ARC Advisory Group
“
…they have some of the most amazing UI I have seen for
Enterprise Software in many years if not ever. Mobile,
desktop, tablet — all well covered and retaining the main
attributes of the interfaces. The ability to build and modify
interfaces easily also supports the move to adopt mobile
as the leading platform by most organizations. All in all,
definitely a key differentiator for them if not the best.”

“Infor, The Teenager,” Esteban Kolsky
As Infor moves forward, the need to design and deliver pleasurable and meaningful
experience becomes more and more important. The future lies not in the fundamentals
of technology or the basics of what is expected from enterprise software—but rather in what
is unexpected. We’ve shifted the focus from “look and feel” to concentrating on a holistic,
fully-integrated experience.
To accomplish that, we begin at the end. We start with the user. We observe, ask questions,
and wonder “What if?” With a deep understanding of what the user needs and how he or
she works, we create solutions that transcend useful, reliable, and convenient to become
pleasurable, meaningful, and beautiful.
“
For too long, business software has been about features and
functions. We want to create human experiences—to speak
to people on their terms.”
