Infor, Microsoft join on ERP push

ERP, Microsoft 0 Comments

June 23, 2010 from ComputerWorld – “Microsoft’s SharePoint collaboration product will serve as a foundation for “portal based, unified interfaces for all Infor applications,” Infor said in a statement. The vendor will also use Microsoft’s Silverlight RIA (rich Internet application) platform; Microsoft Reporting Services for BI (business intelligence); and Microsoft Single Sign-On for identity management. It has also named SQL Server and Windows Server as its “preferred” infrastructure components.

Privately held Infor is one of the world’s largest ERP vendors after Oracle and SAP, with reported revenues in the neighborhood of $2 billion…

A number of other manufacturing-oriented ERP vendors, such as Consona and Epicor, also have products based on Microsoft…”

180 View – While one department/business unit in Microsoft wins with the partnership with Infor, Epicor, Consona, and other ERP vendors, another department/business unit in Microsoft loses.
