Infor, a leader in cloud solutions, has announced that it will showcase a focused set of cloud-enabled, industry specific applications at the upcoming Gitex 2015, a major IT show in Dubai, UAE.

The new solution Infor CloudSuite is engineered to preserve and accelerate the value of customers’ investments by addressing the challenges of a dynamic business environment, a statement said.

“At Infor, we realize that each industry and more specifically each micro-vertical, has its own set of unique challenges and dynamics. Rather than take a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach that puts the onus on the customer to make the necessary customizations, we are focused on delivering business applications with last mile functionality,” said Monzer Tohme, country manager – Middle East at Infor.

“Also, we see the cloud as a critical business enabler and as more and more businesses in the region begin to make the transition, we plan on accompanying them on this journey by delivering our industry leading micro-vertical solutions in the Cloud. Today we have more than 2800 CloudSuite customers with 45+ million users worldwide,” Tohme added.

Infor CloudSuite lets customers choose the best option for deploying their data, providing options that help make the information both portable and secure, the statement said.

The value in Infor CloudSuite lies in the simplicity it offers by allowing customers to:

•    Adapt: Manage seasonal demand fluctuations for storage and computing needs by expanding and contracting capacity as needed, paying only for what is used

•    Streamline: Reduce the complexity of the existing deployment landscape and decrease the burden on IT resources

•    Innovate: Keep systems up-to-date and take advantage of innovative new technologies

•    Grow: Manage growth and change with a high degree of scalability

•    Capitalize: Structure technology investments as operating expenses, rather than capital expenses

Working with strategic channel partners, Infor will showcase CloudSuite solutions for five key verticals – healthcare, manufacturing, public sector, office of the financial officer (OCFO) and technology.

The booth will feature a series of pods where customers can demo key solutions including Infor Analytics, Infor CRM, Infor EAM, Infor LN, Infor M3, Infor SCM and Infor SyteLine.

“It is no secret that there is still a little scepticism among businesses in the region when it comes to the cloud,” said Tohme.

“As a leading cloud company, we believe we have a duty to the region’s ICT community to share our insights and expertise and help regional businesses as they embark on their cloud journey. Gitex provides us with an unparalleled platform to network with industry thought leaders as well as meet with both existing and potential customers and partners,” he concluded.

Gitex 2015 will be held at Dubai World Trade Center from October 18 to 22. – TradeArabia News Service
