Infor bets enterprise AI should start with process, not chatbots — Velocity grows 250%
shashib · x · 2026-10-06
At Infor Velocity Week, the $3.5B-revenue ERP vendor argued enterprise AI should be built on industry ERP process data rather than generic chatbots.
- Infor spent $5B rewriting 150 acquired code bases into multi-tenant cloud platforms for micro-verticals (discrete manufacturing, process manufacturing/distribution, US healthcare, state and local government); multi-tenant SaaS revenue has reached $2B.
- Velocity Suite runs agents and automations on the customer's own process data, configuration and live telemetry, with a proactive roadmap that ranks next opportunities — production in 4 weeks.
The thesis: because the process and data already exist there, the intelligence translates directly into actionable steps.
