Infor Makes Mobile, Cloud, IoT, and AI Announcements – But Nothing for IBM i – IT Jungle
Infor made several product announcements at its annual user conference this week, including the introduction of a new mobile client program, several cloud announcements, and the GA date for the AI-based assistant it announced last year. But Day One of Inforum 2018 didn’t feature any new or enhanced software for IBM i, where about 18,000 Infor customers continue to run their enterprise software.
Infor says its Go client will run on iOS and Android devices and, in addition to the aforementioned seamless gliding, will support single sign-on (SSO) and role-based access to Infor’s ERP, HCM, CRM, and financial management applications (which could run on IBM i), as well as proprietary cloud-based applications customers develop with Infor’s Mongoose development framework (which has nothing to do with IBM i).
