Infor Now Authorized by FedRAMP to Work with the Joint Authorization Board (JAB)

Infor, a leading provider of industry-specific cloud applications, today announced that the company has reached FedRAMP authorization after rigorous review of the company’s security package. FedRAMP is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services, and Infor Public Sector has officially received the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Joint Authorization Board (JAB) Provisional – Authority to Operate (P-ATO) status. This final authorization step means the company can now offer Infor Government SaaS (IGS) cloud based solutions that include Infor Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) applications to U.S. federal agencies.

Working alongside leading industry experts such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Kratos, and Coalfire, Infor has demonstrated its commitment to delivering a secure environment for government organizations looking to optimize procedures using cloud technology.

“This achievement is a major step towards providing our government and regulated customers the security they require without sacrificing product features and functionality,” said Joe Arthur, Infor FedRAMP program executive. “Infor architected IGS to enable Infor to offer additional applications and services using the onboarding process and working closely with FedRAMP PMO and the JAB.”

Infor Government Software as a Service (SaaS) (IGS) is a cloud-based, configurable enterprise-grade facility, fleet, and asset management solution that runs within Infor’s Common Controls Environment on AWS GovCloud (US). Users have the power to improve asset and maintenance management for a diverse range of items, from simple to highly complex, in ways that help increase reliability, enhance predictive maintenance, ensure regulatory compliance, reduce energy usage, and support sustainability initiatives.

“Reaching the final step in this process proves to our customers that we are committed to delivering the most complete, trusted and compliant cloud solutions to government agencies,” said Wayne Bobby, vice president, Infor Federal. “This is a milestone Infor is proud to reach, but as a company we are still committed to innovating and developing cloud technology that can evolve to address simple migration paths, elevated user experiences, continuous process improvements on a resilient platform, and a SaaS solution architected for the Internet.”

“We are pleased to continue our work with Infor, and are excited that the company has achieved FedRAMP authorization,” said Dave Levy, Vice President of U.S. Government at AWS. “At AWS, we constantly strive to raise the bar to meet our customers’ security and compliance needs, and are proud to support our AWS Partner Network (APN) members that do the same.”
