Dietmar Müller - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides integrated solutions for international business operations
Infor CloudSuite offers a comprehensive solution with integrated business intelligence and artificial intelligence capabilities. It does not require hardware or extensive IT expertise, which are standard advantages for cloud solutions. Its integration capabilities with Microsoft features are notable. Additionally, it is a highly scalable and stable solution, useful for large enterprises engaged in international business. It is also easy to maintain compared to other ERP solutions.
Eugenio Santos - PeerSpot reviewer
Program adapts to our requirements and handles our operations effectively
The interface we use currently needs enhancement, as I am still using the outdated green screens. I would benefit for us to adpot the latest INFOR user interface, which is a more integrated interface. Additionally, improvements in warehouse handling with handheld terminal, quality management in warehouses, and managing a dual sourcing strategy would be beneficial. I have had to build my own applications for some features that are lacking, and aligning all components for uncertainty management in the market is necessary.
