Infor is a multinational company headquartered in Atlanta that provides industry specific, enterprise software licensed for use on premises or as a service.

As of 2016, Infor's software had 58 million users,[7] and 90,000 corporate customers in 200 countries. Those customers include Bausch & Lomb, Heineken, Flextronics,[8] Wyndham Hotels, Benetton Group, Boskalis, EBSCO, Legacy Health and Best Western International.[5]

History

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.[3] It grew through acquisitions[8] backed by Golden Gate Capital and Summit Partners.[9]

With the addition of German company Infor Business Solutions AG in 2004, Agilisys changed name to Infor Global Solutions. It relocated headquarters from Alpharetta, Georgia to New York in 2012.[10]

Micro-verticals and cloud

From 2010,[11] Infor marketed "micro-verticals," which were versions of its software adapted for specific industries.[12] It claimed these products were easier to implement than those of its competitors.[11]

Infor introduced an Amazon Web Services based product called CloudSuite in 2014.[13]

Koch Industries

In February 2017, Koch Equity Development LLC invested $2.68 billion in Infor, for a two-thirds ownership.[14]

Subsequently, in February 2020, Koch bought out Golden Gate Capital's remaining minority shareholding.[1][15] The transaction valued Infor's assets at $11 billion.[16] By then Infor was the world's third-largest enterprise software vendor after Oracle Corporation and SAP, with 6% of the market.[1]

Philanthropy

In 2013, the company was recognized as a Computerworld honors laureate for its work with Habitat for Humanity, partnering with the organization to provide software at free or reduced prices.[17] Through Habitat for Humanity, Infor employees also participate in a Volunteer Build Program, Employee Giving Campaign, and Annual Global Village Build.[17]

The company sponsors the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's “Light the Night Walks” events,[18] held in years such as 2012.[19]

Infor has supported the United Negro College Fund's A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Waste event.[18]
