Cloud EnablementLiberate your systems and your business with Infor CloudSuite

The days of being tied to one technology ecosystem are long gone.

To keep pace with the demands of your industry, you need the ability

to launch new products and services quickly—without squandering

your entire budget. Infor CloudSuite fundamentally improves your

company’s economics, so you can focus on growth and innovation—

not the hassle of software and hardware maintenance.

With enhanced cloud capabilities, Infor Xi helps you navigate

a continuously shifting business environment. All applications built

on the Xi platform include multi-tenancy and support for open source

systems, so you can use solutions like Red Hat’s Enterprise Linux

and JBoss Enterprise Middleware, or EnterpriseDB’s Postgres Plus

database. The result? You can manage a unified system with a level

of speed and ease that was never before possible.

You can also say good-bye to the burdens of an old-fashioned

data center. Xi solutions are deployed on a secure and reliable

cloud infrastructure supported by the industry’s leading cloud

hosting provider—Amazon Web Services. This means you can

reduce costs, stay forever current, and scale more effectively—

and enjoy the same level of security and economies of scale as

the US federal government.

wide monitoring, allowing employees to take action on the spot

• Deep analytics and business intelligence capabilities that let you

turn information into actionable insights

• Unprecedented levels of real-time collaboration across your enterprise
