Infor and ABeam Consulting to Collaborate on Enterprise Management Capability Enhancement

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - April 27, 2015) - Infor, the industry cloud company, and ABeam Consulting today announced an alliance partnership around supply chain management (SCM), an area that underpins the core of enterprise management. As a member of the Infor Partner Network (IPN), ABeam will embark on the development and promotion of SCM solutions and consulting centered on Infor Supply Chain Execution (SCE) and Infor Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP). By combining ABeam's expertise on building global supply chains with Infor's globally proven solutions, both companies will help customers to further improve supply chain efficiency and precision by building common platforms for easier information sharing and the integration of business processes.

With the growing globalization of markets and production bases across all industries, enterprises must optimize supply chains to improve production management capabilities across the organization. Supply chain optimization requires SCM solutions, such as Infor SCE or Infor S&OP, that enable flexible responses to business demands that differ according to industry or country, and attentive consulting services backed by extensive experience.

"I am delighted that we have reached an agreement with ABeam Consulting on this collaboration," said Isao Obazawa, president of Infor Japan. "We will work with ABeam Consulting to do our utmost to optimize the supply chains of Japanese companies as a first step to delivering Japanese quality across Asia."

Infor SCE combines all key components required for warehouse management, helping to enhance productivity through its versatility, support for global logistics and task manager functions. Infor SCE has been deployed by more than 700 companies overseas and more than 80 companies in Japan. As an SCM planning solution, Infor S&OP enables cost reductions across the supply chain through the use of a unique modeling approach, and helps to improve customer services and plant capacity utilization through its total optimization engine.
