Relationship Provides Single Point of Contact, Significantly Lowers Total
Cost of Ownership
LAS VEGAS, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Inforum -- Infor today announced it
will package and sell Microsoft SQL Server with Infor's business-specific
enterprise applications that run on the SQL Server platform. The expanded
relationship with Microsoft provides Infor customers a single point of
contact for sales, maintenance and support, in addition to a pricing
advantage for the software.
"Nearly 50 percent of our customers have deployed Infor solutions on
Microsoft SQL Server," said Dennis Michalis, senior vice president, global
partners, Infor. "This new program will create new value and lower total
cost of ownership for our customers by making it easier for them to acquire
and deploy Infor software that uses Microsoft SQL Server."
Infor's direct sales team and channel partners can now sell and
distribute Microsoft SQL Server to customers who purchase SQL
Server-enabled applications. Previously, companies who did not have SQL
Server would need to purchase the software separately from Microsoft or a
licensed dealer, adding complexity associated with managing multiple IT
vendors. Infor's service and maintenance team will support SQL Server as
well as Infor's software.
"The real winner in today's announcement is the customer," said Mark
Jewett, marketing director, SQL Server at Microsoft Corp. "This expanded
alliance builds on the innovation that Infor has created around Microsoft
SQL Server technology, providing additional benefits and convenience in the
areas of delivery and service."
Infor has more than 20 solutions that are enabled on Microsoft SQL
Server. These solutions provide robust capabilities and rich functionality
to customers in the areas of ERP, CRM, Public Sector, and many other
enterprise applications.
