Increased cloud adoption contributes to 112% SaaS growth globally

Infor announced significant global success for its CloudSuite solutions, which can help customers recognize time-to-value faster and can help them become more agile, resilient and competitive.

Recent customers include Burton Snowboards, Frederick County (Maryland), Midwest Wheel Companies, Cloetta, Saarioinen, and Auckland Transport.

Infor is focused on delivering end-to-end functionality in the cloud, with an increase of more than 200 percent in on-premises customers upgrading to the cloud and 112 percent growth in ACV (annual contract value) bookings from May through June.

Infor aims to deliver unmatched multi-tenant cloud capabilities, as well as best-in-class data management and analytics capabilities through the Infor Data Lake and Infor Birst. In addition, Infor’s experienced professional services team and a deep channel and partner network, can help bring customers online quickly, with no material disruptions to their businesses.

Over the past 12 months, Infor has made significant industry-specific product updates that are designed to help customers better manage three important assets in their businesses: people, physical assets, and supply chains.

“If you’re not innovating new ways of increasing service levels, you’re going to get beat out. And that’s how we approach everything,” said Steve McEnany, vice president of marketing and technology at Midwest Wheel. “The fact that we’re not running around putting out fires anymore has made a huge impact on our productivity.”

Cloetta, a leading confectionary company in Northern Europe, recently selected Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage to support digital transformation and drive innovation across its operations. Infor’s multi-tenant cloud architecture was key to the decision, as well as Infor’s deep industry functionality, which can help Cloetta with aspects such as quality control, recipe management and traceability.

Per Svensson, Cloetta IT Director, said, “In meeting the needs of our market, it’s imperative that we have the agility to respond quickly to trends to capitalize on new opportunities and, ultimately, maximize sales. We’re looking forward to the journey ahead with Infor, safe in the knowledge that we’ll have industry-leading capabilities that can help enable us to build market share in our key territories and subsectors.”

New Zealand’s regional transportation authority, Auckland Transport, has centralized asset management in the cloud using Infor EAM. “As a business, we are not into building heavy software nor paying high maintenance and upgrade costs, so we looked for SaaS solutions that are ready to deploy and easy to maintain, and we found a strategic partner in Infor,” said Roger Jones, Auckland Transport Executive General Manager, Business Technology. “This multi-year SaaS project can help optimize Auckland Transport’s multi-billion-dollar assets across the organization to attain better decision-making, drive operational efficiencies and boost customer satisfaction. The first phase involving the predictive maintenance of bridges, as part of our bridge system transformation project, has gone live – on time and on budget, which is no mean feat during a pandemic. The remote and agile implementations could only be achieved due to the commitment and deep industry expertise of a team at Infor that we trust and work well with.”
