The deepening alliance promises a trifecta of benefits: faster innovation, robust security, and adherence to increasingly stringent data sovereignty regulations. It’s a move that could significantly impact how businesses, particularly those in heavily regulated industries, approach their cloud migration strategies.
Infor’s commitment to AWS is multifaceted. The company is preparing to launch an independent cloud specifically for Europe in 2025, a move designed to address growing concerns around data residency and compliance. This European Sovereign Cloud will be hosted on AWS infrastructure, leveraging its global reach and scalability while adhering to regional regulations.
Furthermore, Infor is set to deploy Infor Leap, a comprehensive digital catalog featuring thousands of software solutions, including AI-driven agent tools ready for integration. This all-in-one approach empowers organizations to automate processes and innovate more effectively, reducing the friction often associated with adopting new technologies.
Velocity Suite and Next-Gen Technologies
Customers who choose to migrate to the cloud with Infor gain access to Velocity Suite, a framework designed to accelerate the onboarding of next-generation technologies. This suite, combined with AWS’s best-in-class cybersecurity infrastructure, provides a secure and efficient environment for businesses to modernize their operations.
A core element of the Infor-AWS collaboration is a deep commitment to security. By leveraging AWS’s security capabilities, including encryption, data privacy, and incident response, Infor aims to proactively safeguard its customers from evolving cyber threats. This proactive approach is crucial in today’s landscape, where data breaches and cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated.
The partnership enables Infor Industry AI Agents to operate securely on a global scale, adapting to local data sovereignty requirements and evolving threat landscapes. This ensures that businesses can leverage the power of AI without compromising their data security or regulatory compliance.
AI-Powered Decision Making
Infor’s AI innovations, including its generative AI assistant and Industry AI Agents, empower customers to make faster and smarter decisions. These tools are designed to unlock new growth opportunities while mitigating risks, enabling businesses to optimize supply chains, improve healthcare outcomes, and innovate on new products.
The collaboration is already yielding tangible benefits for Infor’s customers. According to Tessee Murray, Group President at Turtle, “For us, modernization is all about elevating the value and experience we deliver to our customers and partners. The collaboration between Infor and AWS accelerates that mission. With Infor’s deep industry expertise combined with AWS, we’re able to innovate faster and unlock new efficiencies through AI-powered insights and automation.”
“This empowers Turtle to make smarter decisions, streamline service, and create new value—ensuring that the improvements we make translate directly into a better customer experience.”
Jeanne Newberry, Senior Vice President, Ecosystems and Business Development at Infor, echoed this sentiment, stating, “Enterprises across all industries are seeking proven, efficient ways to modernize business operations in the cloud. Our deep collaboration with AWS empowers enterprises to innovate faster while enabling them to meet data sovereignty requirements, especially as we become a Launch Partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, launch Velocity Suite in AWS Marketplace, and continue to deliver new solutions built on AWS for our customers.”
Infor’s strategic alignment with AWS represents a significant step toward enabling businesses to harness the full potential of cloud and generative AI technologies. By prioritizing security, data sovereignty, and innovation, Infor is positioning itself as a key enabler of digital transformation in an increasingly complex and regulated world. The launch of the European Sovereign Cloud in 2025 will be a pivotal moment, demonstrating the company’s commitment to addressing the specific needs of the European market and setting a potential precedent for other regions.
