Infor Velocity Suite Launch
Infor, the enterprise software giant under the Koch Industries umbrella, has fired up its innovation engine once again. This time, it’s taking the industrial sector into warp speed with its latest endeavor: the Infor Velocity Suite.
Debuted at the company’s Driving Transformation Through Innovation event, the Velocity Suite is designed to do precisely what its name suggestsaccelerate. More specifically, it aims to supercharge operational productivity, boost innovation pipelines, and transform how industrial manufacturers conduct business in an increasingly digital economy.
A Suite with Purpose (and Style)
The Velocity Suite isn’t just another shiny software module. It’s a sleek combination of new capabilities integrated directly into Infor’s cloud platform. The goal? To help organizations make smarter, faster decisions with less friction. Think of it as a digital adrenaline shot for business processes that have been stuck in neutral for too long.
But there’s no need to whip out your developer dictionarythis suite doesn’t require you to become a coding wizard overnight. Instead, it delivers intuitive tools that work seamlessly with Infor’s existing industry functionality. It brings automation, real-time insights, and process optimization together in a user-centric package.
Three Words: Speed. Strategy. Simplicity.
The new suite is particularly enticing for sectors that tend to have more gears than gadgetsindustries like automotive, aerospace, industrial manufacturing, and high-tech. Essentially, companies operating in complex ecosystems will now be able to:
- Digitize supply chains at a pace that even legacy systems can’t sneeze at,
- Accelerate product launches by reducing unnecessary admin quagmires,
- And collaborate across borders with the ease of sharing a meme on Slack.
Infor Velocity Suite isn’t trying to reinvent industryit’s refining it. Like tuning a race car, it takes what already exists and elevates it into something sleeker, smarter, and much faster. It positions supply chain leaders to transform from tactical operators into strategic architects.
A Peek Under the Hood
So what’s really going on behind the engine cover? According to Infor, the Velocity Suite features cutting-edge workflow automation, data flow orchestration, and built-in contextual insights, all wrapped in a user-friendly interface that doesn’t require a PhD in computer science.
One standout is the New Product Introduction (NPI) Accelerator. This feature is a digital launching pad for getting new products to market without the red tape usually tied around R&D teams. It facilitates cross-functional collaboration between engineering, procurement, finance, and supply chain, preventing information from getting trapped in departmental silos.
Say Goodbye to Spreadsheet Chaos
This isn’t just about speed; it’s about clarity. With conversational and intuitive interfaces embedded within the platform, teams can stop relying on 23-tab Excel sheets and contradictory data reports. Instead, they get decision-ready insights pulled right from their systems of record. It’s data with direction, minus the drama.
Driven by Real-World Needs
Soma Somasundaram, Infor’s President & CTO, didn’t mince words. “We’ve built the Infor Velocity Suite with the conviction that speed + intelligence + industry context = exponential advantage,” he declared. And in this case, the math actually adds up.
What separates Infor from the tech pack is its unwavering focus on industry specificity. Rather than creating general-purpose platforms that try to be everything to everyone, Infor continues playing a sharp game of focusdelivering solutions tailored to the needs of manufacturers, distributors, and supply chain professionals.
The Koch Connection
It doesn’t hurt having a practically unlimited innovation runway thanks to Koch Industries. As a subsidiary, Infor has access to strategic capital and real-world industrial insight from Koch’s diverse portfolio of companies. This allows them to test innovations in high-stakes environments before rolling them out to the wider market.
It’s Not the Future. It’s the Now.
Gone are the days of waiting years for digital transformation that runs over budget and delivers underwhelming results. The Infor Velocity Suite signals a shift away from heavyweight, slow-burn deployments toward nimble, modular implementations that deliver value fast and evolve with your business.
It’s about trading in your old flip phone of enterprise architecture for a sleek, modern smartphoneone that learns how you work and gets smarter over time.
Final Thoughts
At a time when manufacturers face more headwinds than everfrom geopolitical instability to talent shortagestools like the Velocity Suite offer more than just convenience. They offer relief, resilience, and a rare sense of control.
It’s fast. It’s focused. It’s finally here. The Infor Velocity Suitebecause business transformation doesn’t have to be a slog.
