Infor to highlight industry-specific cloud prowess at GITEX 2021

Infor will return to GITEX in 2021 with ambitious plans to highlight the power of its industry-specific cloud solutions to help customers automate and simplify complex systems, scale up quickly, prioritise the user experience, and leverage data science — all with technology that easily integrates into existing systems.

Infor will demonstrate solutions for industrial manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, and automotive, as well as its industry-specific CloudSuites, with experts on hand to discuss each of these solutions. Infor will also demonstrate its enterprise apps and enterprise resource planning (ERP) engines, which are the backbone of its solutions and are tailored to certain industries. These extremely reliable solutions handle financial and operational activities, optimising procedures, removing redundancies, and offering end-to-end insight.

On Infor’s booth E50 in Hall 7, visitors from all industries will be able to learn how their company can adapt and reap the full benefits of cloud computing, putting them in a position to adopt emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.

Throughout the week, Infor will hold a series of best practise workshops, including one in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to demonstrate how the two businesses can help customers accelerate their transition with industry-specific business solutions. “Realizing your digital potential,” “The warehouse of the future,” and “People and technology working together” will be among the topics covered in other sessions.

Amel Gardner, Infor’s vice president and general manager for the Middle East and Africa, will be on hand to deliver demos, discuss market concerns and solutions, and answer any questions about Infor’s solutions.

“Because of our industry focus, we can offer a complete 360-degree, end-to-end transformation of our customer’s enterprise, not just the finances or inventory,” said Amel Gardner.

She further said, “We help manage their supply chains, business processes, assets, goods and services, and, at the center of it all, their people — all in one integrated solution: one version of the truth to be shared among stakeholders.”

At GITEX, Infor will emphasise the importance of design thinking. The company’s Value Engineering team will provide workshops on how design thinking can help create a clear vision for digital transformation and an awareness of the main problems and opportunities that will be encountered along the way. The sessions, titled “Realizing your Digital Potential,” will assist businesses in laying the groundwork for success in their digital transformation initiatives.

Supertech Group, a UAE-based supplier of industrial products and services; Al-Jazira Equipment Co. Ltd. (AutoWorld), a pioneer in auto leasing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; Zahid Tractor, Saudi Arabia’s leading supplier of plant and construction vehicles; and Bahrain’s Asry Shipyard, the Gulf region’s leading methanol producer, are just a few of Infor’s recent references.

Infor has the stability and investment it requires thanks to its parent business, Koch Industries, to help organisations across the region achieve their cloud and digital transformation goals. Customers in the region attest to the transformative potential of Infor’s industry-specific solutions, which have a distinct advantage over many of its competitors’ more generic cloud enterprise solutions.

In August, Infor was named a Leader in the Gartner Magic QuadrantTM for Cloud ERP for Product-Centric Enterprises for 2021. Infor’s position as a Leader in this Gartner Magic Quadrant was determined by Gartner’s assessment of Infor’s industry-specific capabilities of cloud suite solutions.
