Pros
Infor's Distribution products are some of the best in the industry. For the growth products, they have kept their high quality people and continue to enhance the products. For the non-growth products, Infor has developed a very fair program (FLEX) to get customers on a growth product. The various companies they've bought provide bolt on options for customers. Infor isn't perfect, but they are loaded with highly capable people with integrity, great products and customers that they take care of.
Cons
Infor has their work cut out for them in the new account arena. Competitors like Activant promise the world and Infor's high integrity, honesty and value selling doesn't always prevail. Their customer references are deep, and users love them but the competitive landscape is changing and Infor will have to find a way to demonstrate the value that they are capable of consistently delivering. Smaller vendors continue to drop software prices and underestimate services, and Oracle and SAP are leveraging their name brand and trying to fit in Distribution. Infor is still the best option, but will have to find a way to beat the small and large players in this competitive landscape.
