Infor, a leading provider of business
application software serving more than 70,000 customers, today announced Infor CloudSuite™, the first group of
industry-specific application suites available on Amazon Web Services' (AWS) cloud. Infor CloudSuite
provides beautiful software with deep industry functionality and a flexible, subscription-based delivery
model that significantly reduces upfront IT expenditure. Each industry suite within Infor CloudSuite is built by unifying multiple applications that historically were
deployed independently to holistically support core business functions by industry. This core, along with
fast and simple provisioning and a SaaS pricing model will enable Infor CloudSuite to change the way
enterprise software is delivered to and consumed by customers. "SaaS today refers primarily to HCM, CRM or another edge application, never to mission-critical
business operations," said Charles Phillips, CEO of Infor. "Infor CloudSuite redefines cloud for the
enterprise, delivering the first full suite of business applications purpose-built by industry running in a
public cloud through Amazon Web Services." "Customers want help figuring out how to move more of their operations into the AWS Cloud. They
want to shift their resources to focus on what they do best, rather than on the undifferentiated heavy
lifting of managing IT and complex software," said Andy Jassy, SVP, Amazon Web Services, Inc. "We
are excited that Infor is addressing these needs using the AWS platform. Infor CloudSuite on AWS
delivers a simplified and enhanced user experience, across a multitude of industries, and provides all
the agility, elasticity, and cost benefits of the AWS Cloud to enterprise customers around the world." Infor will leverage the AWS cloud infrastructure to allow customers to take advantage of Amazon's
expertise and economies of scale to access resources when they need them, on demand and with auto-
scaling built into the Infor applications. Infor is in the process of consolidating existing subscribers and
transitioning current internal infrastructure to the AWS platform. AWS provides services in 10 Regions,
with 25 Availability Zones and 51 Amazon CloudFront Edge locations globally. "AWS has the best and most advanced cloud infrastructure in the world, providing a delivery model,
cost structure, and focus on operational excellence that perfectly complements and enhances our
products," said Phillips. "Moreover, the tie between Infor and AWS is strengthened through a common
focus on customer experience, rapid-pace of innovation, and standards-based architecture." Infor plans to roll out industry suites, delivered on AWS, throughout 2014, beginning this spring with
Infor CloudSuite Automotive, Infor CloudSuite Aerospace & Defense, and Infor CloudSuite Hospitality.
Early this summer Infor expects to deliver Infor CloudSuite Corporate, with a core of best-in-class
financials and Infor's complete human capital management suite. The Infor CloudSuite platform also includes: Infor is a global leader in business cloud software specialized by industry. We develop complete solutions for our focus industries. Infor's mission-critical enterprise applications and services are designed to deliver sustainable operational advantages with security and faster time to value. Over 60,000 organizations in more than 175 countries rely on Infor's 17,000 employees to help achieve their business goals. As a Koch company, our financial strength, ownership structure, and long-term view empower us to foster enduring, mutually beneficial relationships with our customers. Visit www.infor.com.
