Source-derived summary

Infor is a multinational company headquartered in Atlanta that provides industry-specific, enterprise software, licensed for use on-premises or as a service.

After being acquired in 2020, the company became a subsidiary of Koch Industries.

Customers include Bausch & Lomb, Heineken, Flextronics, Wyndham Hotels, Benetton Group, Boskalis, EBSCO, Legacy Health, and Best Western International.

History

Infor was spun

out from Malvern, Pennsylvania based Systems & Computer Technology Corp in June 2002, as Agilisys, when there were 1,300 customers of its process manufacturing ERP software. It grew through acquisitions backed by Golden Gate Capital and Summit Partners.

With the addition of German company Infor Business Solutions AG in 2004, Agilisys changed name to Infor Global Solutions. It relocated its headquarters from Alpharetta, Georgia to New York in 2012.

Micro-verticals and cloud

From 2010, Infor marketed "micro-verticals," which were versions of its software adapted for specific industries. It claimed these products were easier to implement than those of its competitors.

Infor introduced an Amazon Web Services based product called CloudSuite in 2014.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Infor” is american enterprise software company. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Infor, American and enterprise, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2020, 2002, 2004, 2012—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2002. For this dossier, Infor, American and enterprise is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “american enterprise software company” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q266087. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2020, 2002, 2004 and 2012.

Critical limits

A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
