Formula One team Scuderia Ferrari has signed a multi-year agreement with manufacturing ERP software conglomerate Infor, under which its systems will help build race cars.
Team principal Stefano Domenicali says that the sponsorship reinforces the long-term business collaboration with Ferrari, where Infor systems have been instrumental in delivering one of the most respected automotive brands in the world.
"We are pleased to welcome Infor in our portfolio of official suppliers," he says. "Infor is a global leader in business services and software applications and our companies already enjoy a strong relationship.
And he continues: It is of utmost importance for Ferrari to rely on partners that represent excellence in their domains of activity and have as part of their DNA unique values, such as competition and the pursuit of success."
As part of the sponsorship, the Infor logo will appear on Scuderia Ferrari's F1 championship contender, race team support vehicles, communication materials, the Ferrari website, and official merchandising products.
"The shared goals of speed and quality bring Infor and Ferrari together," comments Charles Phillips, CEO of Infor.
"Our software helps Ferrari build great cars, including the Formula One cars. We've also worked with Ferrari to significantly expand production capacity in response to growing demand, without having to build a new plant."
