Cloud adoption is accelerating in the Middle East, fuelled by the shift to remote and hybrid working models, increased government spending on digitalisation and the overall innovation culture in the region.
As cloud continues to drive the growth of enterprises in the region, global software firm Infor will demonstrate its industry-specific cloud innovations at the upcoming GITEX Technology Week.
The company will demonstrate the capabilities of its CloudSuites for manufacturing and distribution, and healthcare. Infor specialists will also be available to discuss each solution.
To find out more about the company’s latest innovations and participation at GITEX, we caught up with Infor’s VP and GM for Middle East & Africa, Amel Gardner.
What are the key highlights of your participation at this year’s GITEX?
At GITEX, we will showcase our enterprise applications and ERP engines that are at the heart of our solutions. We have several ERPs, each designed for the specific industries we mentioned. These highly robust solutions manage financial and operational tasks, streamlining processes, eliminating redundancies, and providing end-to-end visibility.
In particular, we will demonstrate the power of Infor’s cloud solutions including Infor M3, an ERP system for process and distribution industries; Infor LN, an ERP for discrete manufacturers to gain the visibility they need to quickly respond to customer, supplier, and regulatory needs; and Infor WMS, a best-of-breed, Tier-1 warehouse management system designed to streamline warehouse operations through advanced inventory management, labour management, 3PL billing and invoicing, 3D visualisation, embedded analytics, and more.
Infor’s dedicated Value Engineering team will also be available to demonstrate how every organisation’s most critical business drivers should be aligned with a sound technological strategy.
We’ll be also showcasing our Enterprise Asset Management solution, designed to digitise maintenance with built-in industry-specific capabilities for asset intensive industries including manufacturing, transportation, public sector, healthcare, and more.
Our stand (E50 in Hall 7) will feature dedicated zones to demonstrate the power of our solutions to help organisations across various industries including manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and asset intensive industries, transform their operations. Moreover, we will host a series of interesting 30-minute workshops throughout the five days of GITEX.
Why are tech shows such as GITEX important despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic?
Technology shows such as GITEX play an important role in bringing the wider ICT ecosystem together, allowing organisations to showcase their latest solutions to customers and partners. It’s also a great opportunity to reconnect, build relationships, gauge market sentiment, and hear what’s new from other players in the industry.
We view GITEX as an excellent opportunity to strengthen existing partnerships, win new business, and demonstrate to the market that Infor is the leader in enterprise cloud software by industry, with a growing presence in the Middle East and a unique ability to help organisations on their digital transformation journey.
How is your company enabling regional organisations to embrace a bold digital future?
Infor has invested approximately $5 billion in product design and development to deliver industry specific CloudSuites. Our mission-critical enterprise applications are designed to deliver more value and less risk, with more sustainable operational advantages. We are a trusted partner for the long haul that customers rely on to help overcome market disruptions and achieve business-wide digital transformation. Infor works closely in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to support a faster path to transformation for our customers, through business systems that are tailored to specific industries.
The unique power of Infor Cloud built on Amazon Web Services doesn’t just come from what’s inside. It comes from the special approach we’ve used to build business software—from assembling and fine-tuning our performance enhancing capabilities to helping you increase agility and improve your business.
