As a manufacturing organization grows and changes it becomes increasingly difficult to implement business process standards, support quality and consistency, and provide visibility to business leaders who have become removed from the day-to-day operations. Further, a collection of legacy, siloed, customized, out of date solutions leads to redundant, inaccurate data, extra work, and an inability to stay up-to-date on current versions. This scenario will keep your business from achieving its goals, as well as lock your business out from utilizing emerging technologies such as analytics, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things, which are essential for success in the modern manufacturing environment.

You are invited to a webinar on May 30th at 2:00 PM EST, featuring Infor’s Director of Industry and Solution Strategy, Nick Castellina, and Mike Kalinowski, Infor OS Product Manager, to learn about how your business can reduce complexity and differentiate itself in Industry 4.0. During this event, you will learn:

• The biggest issues that manufacturers face as they grow
• Tips for connecting business leaders with relevant information
• Strategies for improving workforce productivity
• How to build a digital foundation for reducing complexity

Cloud ERP systems have gained rapid market acceptance, and many traditional ERP vendors are responding with hosted versions of their on-premises systems.

Attendees will learn:

• Why cloud ERP solutions are rapidly gaining market acceptance
• The essential differences between cloud ERP and hosted ERP
• Factors that may drive the buyer’s decision toward cloud ERP or hosted ERP

Everyone that attends the live webinar on January 24 will receive the Computer Economics Research Report, “The Differences between Cloud and Hosted ERP, and Why They Matter.” (retails for $995 on Computer Economics).
