At the Strategic Partner level, Infor has ongoing initiatives with several key global companies—IBM, Microsoft and Progress—that offer IT platforms, infrastructure, and tools that support our solutions.
IBM: Strategic Alliance Partner
Infor has 70,000 customers worldwide. A large percentage of them rely on a solid infrastructure of IBM hardware and middleware to support our applications. The Infor and IBM strategic alliance leverages the core assets of our two companies to ensure performance is strong, costs are low and quality is consistently high. Through this partnership, our customers don’t have to worry about obsolescence; our development teams collaborate to be sure current solutions and new releases from both companies are complementary.
Our professional services teams work closely together, too, when our joint customers need help with business process alignment, project management, systems integration and hosting, training and support. In addition, we recently launched an initiative with IBM to develop standardized solutions that combine our applications with IBM’s infrastructure offerings and corresponding services—with the goal of providing additional choices that are more affordable for our enterprising customers.
Microsoft: Strategic Alliance Partner
Infor recognized long ago that Microsoft was a key vendor in many of our customers’ businesses. We developed a strategic partnership that is now a long-standing one—built on a close working relationship to deliver business specific solutions that meet the individual needs of our customers. Infor leverages the Microsoft platforms and tools to enrich, extend and evolve Infor solutions to help our customers manage the fast-paced changes in their businesses. Infor is a Gold Certified Microsoft Partner and a Global ISV, which means we work together at the planning, design, development, and business levels.
Progress: Strategic Alliance Partner
Infor solutions integrate with Progress database, application integration and data integration products to deliver customer solutions that are agile, powerful and robust. Partnering with Progress means our customers always have the choice to implement enterprise solutions in the manner and timeframes that make the most sense to them. Progress products provide Infor with technologies that allow customers to achieve the lowest total cost of ownership and meet the unique needs of their businesses. Teaming with Progress means Infor customers minimize application and data integration complexity. Infor is a Global Application Partner of Progress, which means Infor customers can expect the most innovative solutions to deploy and manage service-oriented business applications.
