The built-in solution is already there, so we can start implementing it right away when we install it in an organization. After going through different test executions and workshops, any missing features can be added using Infor extension tables and other products. It will take at least eight to nine months to go live."

"Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."
"The customization capabilities of CloudSuite Industrial are also there."

"There should be better clarity and agreement on all interfaces and requirements before signing a contract. This would avoid unexpected costs and complications later on."

"The solution's support service could be better."
"Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined."

"The solution's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement, especially the support for the product named M3 rather than the support offered by Infor as an organization."
