Infor Accelerates Product Development for Process Manufacturers
Infor announced an enhanced version of Infor10 PLM Process (Optiva). This next-generation application boasts Infor10 ION and Infor10 Workspace functionality to provide users with a single sign-on screen and flexible middleware that connects all business applications into one unified system. Infor10 PLM Process positions companies for future expansion by enabling integration with Infor and third-party applications, and storing background scripts in a new scripting library, eliminating the need to modify or recode after an upgrade. In addition, PLM Process is now capable of integrating with various SAP applications through Infor10 ION, providing greater connectivity, business process monitoring, data sharing, and enhanced workflows and collaboration across the enterprise.
PLM Process is a market leader in product lifecycle management for process manufacturers, and is used worldwide by companies including Akzo Nobel, Asian Paints, Cargill Flavor Systems, Hormel, Kerry, and Yves Rocher.
