Infor launches InforCloudSuite solutions for Thailand

Infor CloudSuite provides software with comprehensive industry functionality and a flexible, subscription-based delivery model that significantly reduces upfront IT expenditure, the company said in a press statement.

Each industry suite within Infor CloudSuite is built by unifying multiple applications that historically were deployed independently to holistically support core business functions by industry. This core, along with fast and simple provisioning and a SaaS pricing model will enable Infor CloudSuite to change the way enterprise software is delivered to and consumed by customers, the press statement said.

“Thai manufacturing, F&B, logistics and other businesses are increasingly integrating into the greater ASEAN regional and global markets. By providing manufacturers and enterprises with the business tools they need, and the flexibility and efficiency of cloud-based solutions, Thailand managers can focus on gaining market share and expanding business opportunities throughout the region,” said Helen Masters, Vice President of Infor ASEAN at the company’s Infor Industry Forum event held at the Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel.

“SaaS today refers primarily to ERP, CRM or another edge application, never to mission-critical business operations,” added Masters. “Infor CloudSuite redefines cloud for the enterprise, delivering the first full suite of business applications purpose-built by industry running in a public cloud through Amazon Web Services.”  

Infor will leverage the AWS cloud infrastructure to allow customers to take advantage of Amazon’s expertise and economies of scale to access resources when they need them, on demand and with auto-scaling built into the Infor applications.  Infor is in the process of consolidating existing subscribers and transitioning current internal infrastructure to the AWS platform. AWS provides services in 10 Regions, with 25 Availability Zones and 51 Amazon CloudFront Edge locations globally.

“AWS has the best and most advanced cloud infrastructure in the world, providing a delivery model, cost structure, and focus on operational excellence that perfectly complements and enhances our products,” said Masters. “Moreover, the tie between Infor and AWS is strengthened through a common focus on customer experience, rapid-pace of innovation, and standards-based architecture.” 

Infor introduced to the Thailand market its CloudSuite offerings at Infor Industry Forum Thailand. At the event, Infor presented its latest software and cloud-enabled solutions for Thai businesses to drive continued economic growth domestically and across the region. Infor also re-confirmed its commitment to double-digit growth in the country over the next three years.

As one of the ASEAN region’s most important manufacturing centers, Thailand offers vast opportunities for global, regional and local companies to set up manufacturing, F&B and distribution operations in the country. With a well-developed infrastructure and dynamic business leaders, Thailand plays a key role in helping achieve Infor’s long-term global growth.

“The relationship between VT Garment and Infor is seen as a ‘partnership’ and not a ‘vendor-buyer’ relationship as we work closely together to improve the implementation and processes of solutions,” said Chalumpon Lotharukpong, Group Managing Director, VT Garment. 

“Our company has benefited in terms of cost reductions, time savings and smoother information flow from utilizing Infor business technology that is beautiful, easy-to-use, and designed to speed performance and ‘changes the way we work’  by modernizing operations.”

The InforCloudSuite platform for Thailand includes Food & Beverage, Fashion, Industrial Manufacturing, Business, Hospitality, and Automotive.
