Infor and the Manufacturing Industry : Digital Workforce

Infor ’ s CloudSuite solutions for manufacturers fully support digital operations and a digital workforce . Infor solutions support both the workers having to stay at home during the pandemic yet requiring full access to systems , data and information , as well as employees working in the plants . These workers are key to manufacturers staying open as they operate the machines and move or track products . Infor solutions support all of these uses and the latest Internet of Things capabilities around artificial intelligence and machine learning .
Infor ’ s People Solutions work is parallel with core manufacturing solutions to empower and engage individuals with a humancentred , technology-enabled , and data-driven approach . Infor ’ s HR , talent , and workforce management solutions align operational efficiency with the demands of manufacturing . We have a full range of solutions to support the digital workforce , unique in the industry . Our solutions include core HR and payroll , talent management and learning , behavioural analytics and case management , as well as a complete industry-specific set of workforce management capabilities , including time , attendance , scheduling , and resource planning .
The entire platform runs on AWS and is wrapped in Infor ’ s operation system to allow interconnectivity with other Infor and non- Infor systems . The platform provides a data lake and cross-functional analytics and is an API gateway to ensure we future proof our customers ’ ever-expanding ecosystems . - Matthew Bragstad , Global VP and Head of Vision and Strategy at Infor work . The key driver for the success of this type of engagement is intentionality , communication , and transformation of an organisation ’ s cultural expectations .
“ Organisations that always celebrate the employee that ‘ gets in first ’ will struggle . Those that promote based on ‘ putting in the time ’ versus the value of an employee ’ s work time will struggle . Organisations that assume something will be adopted without talking about it , and talking about it some more , and then talking about it again , will struggle . HR professionals that assume every other remote employee has the same working conditions
