Infor

Search for recent headlines about Infor, and you’ll find phrases like “Accelerating AI,” “Driving Business,” and “Expanding Operations.” These sound like startup buzzwords, but Infor, founded in 2002, is no newcomer. For five consecutive years, this enterprise software leader has grown revenues by $100 million annually while modernizing its cloud platform, now used by over 60,000 businesses in nearly every country.

Serving industries from aerospace to healthcare, fashion, and even micro-verticals like dairy, Infor’s reach is vast. The unwritten headline? “Infor is everywhere, once you know where to look.”

Infor’s cloud platform, AI solutions, and advanced analytics don’t just help businesses run better—they improve lives. For example:

• Faster approvals: Small business licenses in Las Vegas are approved 18 days faster, and contractors can upload construction photos for instant city inspections.
• Direct access: UGG customers can now buy directly from the manufacturer, bypassing wholesalers.
• Personalized design: Office managers can customize Herman Miller Aeron chairs from 1.2 million options.

Infor’s industry-specific, user-focused software integrates seamlessly into existing systems, turning complexity into a competitive advantage. In today’s digital economy, where every decision is powered by data, Infor’s solutions are rocket fuel for innovation.

Infor’s mission is to deliver tailored, cloud-first applications that help businesses move faster, work smarter, and adapt with confidence. Success today depends on transforming raw data into actionable insights, and Infor has evolved from a traditional ERP provider to a multi-tenant cloud pioneer, serving dozens of micro-verticals.

Infor’s Data-as-a-Service platform provides tools for large-scale data storage, querying, and processing. Its data lake service prevents “data swamps” by automating discovery, cataloging, and governance with AI-powered metadata management. This ensures businesses can unlock the full value of their data assets.

But Infor’s innovation isn’t just about software—it’s built on a trusted, resilient data storage foundation.

Infor’s healthcare vertical faced challenges with its previous data management system, including latency, scaling bottlenecks, and high costs. Migrating clinical applications to a managed Kubernetes service exacerbated performance issues. To address these issues, Infor implemented Amazon FSx for NetApp^® ONTAP^®, delivering:

• 65% lower storage costs through deduplication and compression.
• Faster performance with low latency and seamless scalability.
• Enhanced compliance with HIPAA standards using NetApp^® SnapLock^® for data isolation.

This modernization showcases how intelligent infrastructure can transform industries.

In today’s AI-driven world, data is both a critical asset and a prime target. Every new application, transaction, and AI workload expands an enterprise’s attack surface. That’s why Infor embeds security into every layer of its operations.

Infor is leveraging AI to revolutionize both DevOps and SecOps. Tools like Amazon Q help developers detect and fix configuration errors before they impact production, using AI-driven pattern recognition to identify vulnerabilities and prevent drift. This ensures systems remain secure and efficient.

AI also enhances compliance with standards like PCI and HIPAA by automating log analysis, anomaly detection, and security operations. By reducing noise from false flags, AI frees up SecOps teams to focus on critical threats. As Mignona explains, “AI lets us work faster and smarter, addressing vulnerabilities before they become problems.”

Combined with encryption, authentication, and NetApp’s AI-powered ransomware protection, Infor’s approach ensures robust security across its cloud platform.

Mignona Coté, a 2025 CSO Hall of Fame inductee, believes human intuition is as vital as technology in cybersecurity. Her career, spanning industries from banking to food and beverage, reflects the diverse sectors Infor serves.

Mignona fosters collaboration across Infor’s teams—security engineers, R&D, legal, and marketing—to design secure, innovative products. This holistic approach ensures Infor’s solutions empower businesses while protecting what matters most: their data.

Infor is redefining enterprise performance with AI-powered innovation, intelligent infrastructure, and a commitment to security. Its solutions enable:

• Safer patient care in healthcare.
• Ethically sourced food on store shelves.
• Smoother travel experiences.
• Reliable public services for communities.

With Infor everywhere, everyone lives better.
