CloudSuite:

For some time now, businesses (and cloud solution vendors) have been running non-mission critical applications, like back office operations, financials, HR, talent management, and sales force automation in the cloud. The thinking seems to have been that if the cloud fails, the core business of the organization can continue. Infor has offered cloud based applications for more than a decade and is leading the migration of core industry processes to the cloud. We believe that the cloud is ready to run an organization’s most vital applications, such as ERP, EAM, and SCM. Our cloud computing platform is robust enough to ensure that those applications will keep running efficiently and effectively.
