IT systems and services provider Cambridge Online has extended its ERP capability by partnering with manufacturing SME enterprise software giant Infor.
Cambridge Online CEO Ray Olds explains that the company will now offer Infor10 ERP Business (SyteLine) to discrete manufacturers across a broad range of industries, including metal fabrication, industrial equipment and machinery, high tech electronics and automotive manufacturers in the UK.
"We need to be partnered with a manufacturing software provider with long-standing specialism in handling the pressures associated with discrete, custom manufacturers," explains Olds.
Choosing Infor SyteLine, he says, is about recognising the importance of agility and responsiveness for such manufacturers. "Infor10 ERP Business is the right product for this environment," he adds.
Cambridge Online will provide sales, installation, integration and support, with immediate effect.
In the meantime, the firm retains its Microsoft Gold partner status, says Olds, insisting that it will continue to offer Microsoft Dynamics NAV to existing customer-base and in other markets.
"Infor's channel strategy is key to our growth and generates 24% of license revenues globally," comments Jean-Philippe Pommel, Infor's vice president of channels, EMEA.
"Establishing partnerships with the right quality organisations is key to capitalising on this growth, so recruiting a proven channel partner like Cambridge Online is key to executing on this strategy."
