According to Gartner, “Leaders demonstrate a market-defining vision for supporting and advancing ERP product centric systems and processes in the cloud. They consistently execute this vision through products, services and go-to-market strategies, along with solid customer service and support.”
“Leaders are distinguished by their broad ERP functionality, strong innovation roadmaps (particularly in AI and agentic AI capabilities), and scalable, composable platforms”.
Infor's deep industry experience shows that manufacturers and distributors contend with a long list of pressures, and several point to the same place. Inventory and supply chains demand constant attention. The experienced people who know how to run them are retiring, taking years of industry knowledge with them. Companies are turning to AI to fill that gap, and Gartner predicts that by 2030, over 50% of foundational ERP tasks will be autonomously executed by AI, reducing human involvement in finance, supply chain and HR. Yet many are moving without the governance, guardrails and data structure AI requires, and with little certainty about what it will change.
"We are honored to be recognized as a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cloud ERP for Product-Centric Enterprises," said Kevin Samuelson, Chief Executive Officer at Infor. "Our customers are at the center of everything we build. To me, this placement reflects our commitment to helping manufacturers and distributors tackle their most complex challenges, adopt AI with confidence, and turn deep industry expertise into measurable business success."
Infor’s core ERP platforms combine deep industry knowledge with open innovation to help customers adopt advanced technology faster and achieve more precise business outcomes, a priority as Gartner also predicts that by 2030, AI tools will cut ERP modernization costs by 40%, enhancing productivity and transforming IT roles into more strategic ones.
Built on a common Infor OS platform and innovation strategy, the Infor CloudSuite portfolio brings together data integration, workflow automation, AI and extensibility services to help customers connect information, reduce manual work and make more informed decisions.
Infor’s Industry Process catalog and micro vertical process models support this industry specialization, helping customers align technology with their operational needs. Extensive out-of-the-box support for process manufacturing, distribution and industry-specific requirements — combined with configurable workflows and adaptable process models — helps customers streamline operations and respond to changing requirements without losing their reliable industry functionality.
For manufacturers and distributors deciding how fast to adopt AI, Infor’s view is that the choice of ERP shapes whether that speed becomes an advantage or a risk.
