Infor is a multinational company headquartered in New York City[7] that provides industry specific, enterprise software licensed for use on premisesoras a service.[8][9][10]

As of 2016, Infor's software had 58 million users,[11] and 90,000 corporate customers in 200 countries. Those customers include Bausch & Lomb, Heineken,[12] Wyndham Hotels, Boskalis, EBSCO, Legacy Health and Best Western International.[5]

History[edit]

Infor was spun out from Malvern, Pennsylvania based Systems & Computer Technology Corp in June 2002, as Agilisys, when there were 1,300 customers of its process manufacturing ERP software.[2][13] It grew through acquisitions[12] backed by Golden Gate Capital and Summit Partners.[14]

With the addition of German company Infor Business Solutions AG in 2004, Agilisys changed name to Infor Global Solutions. It relocated headquarters from Alpharetta, GeorgiatoNew York in 2012.[15][16]

Micro-verticals and cloud[edit]

From 2010,[17] Infor marketed "micro-verticals," which were versions of its software adapted for specific industries.[18] It claimed these products were easier to implement than those of its competitors.[17]

Infor introduced an Amazon Web Services based product called CloudSuite in 2014.[19]

Koch Industries[edit]

In February 2017, Koch Equity Development LLC invested $2.68 billion in Infor, for a 23 ownership.[20]

Subsequently, in February 2020, Koch bought out Golden Gate Capital's remaining minority shareholding. The transaction valued Infor's assets at $11 billion.[1]
