Infor PLM Accelerate is designed to easily adapt with the unique business practices of discrete manufacturers. The solution moves beyond the capabilities of standalone products to unite the entire product lifecycle for a single view of the truth, allowing users to manage the process from ideation to manufacturing through distribution.

Infor PLM Accelerate is designed with these challenges in mind, providing a more holistic approach to scale and meet the needs of each unique organization," said Nathalie Regniers, industry strategy director, Product Lifecycle Management, Infor. "The solution is available as both on-premise and private cloud single-tenant deployment, to further add flexibility to the product lifecycle."

This advanced approach establishes a comprehensive PLM solution suite to manage processes throughout the enterprise and supply chain. The user interface features drag and drop functionality to provide a layer of flexibility needed for unique industry customizations. Infor PLM Accelerate utilizes compliance-grade security to protect all intellectual property through customizable permissions, authentication and access control. The solution is also capable of scaling both up and out to support organizations of all sizes and compliance needs, including the management of petabytes of complex computer aided design (CAD) data.
