Extensibility: Not only for Cloud

Retiring customizations or

replacing by extensibility methods

benefits customers in two ways

1. Allows them to upgrade

smoothly and at less risk

2. Prepares for a transition to

Cloud “No invasive changes to the

application that will hinder

automatic updates”

Infor Definition

Add or alter base application functionality, including changes to user-

interface, data models, and the business logic, without direct access to the

application database, source-code, or underlying system objects, while

efficiently using a shared set of computing resources, and providing full

upgradability, manageability, & isolation throughout the application lifecycle.


When to consider Cloud…

• IT & ERP Strategy

• Looking to upgrade to benefit from latest functionality

• Stay current strategy

• R&S Financial compliance risk forcing quick upgrade

• Business interruption

• System outages, natural disasters

• Joint-ventures and acquisitions

• Divestment and need environment quickly

• International expansion

• H/W refresh pending

• Hosting contract renewal

• Outsourcing strategy/decision
