"The technology we have to deal with is becoming more complex," said Rien Krijger, ICT director at Boskalis. "The decision to build knowledge in our own team or to extract it from Infor, which offers all specializations together as a service, was simple. We are moving away from the principle to do everything by ourselves, in-house, so our team can focus more on maximizing the business value for its own organization."

"Our business operates globally on a project-based structure, and we do not stay in one location for a long time, e.g. the expansion of the Suez Canal which is executed with our partners Van Oord, NMDC and Jan de Nul. Infor CloudSuite meets all our requirements, such as interoperability with third-party systems, easy management and connections to on-premise applications. Therefore, the connection with other systems, such as our mobile platform, can be realized quickly and easily. Yet it also provides the desired performance, and we can rely on Infor's 24x7 support -- something we could never have realized with our own team at acceptable costs."

"Businesses across all regions and industries continue to express a growing interest in moving to SaaS-based ERP systems. The selection of Infor CloudSuite by a leading global player like Boskalis confirms that our UpgradeX program is exactly what customers are looking for to provide a clear, cost-effective path to the cloud," said Stephan Scholl, president of Infor. "The flexibility delivered by Infor CloudSuite will give Boskalis the necessary agility to support future acquisitions without requiring extensive investment in additional resources. By expanding its relationship with Infor, the company will benefit from deep industry-specific functionality hosted in a secure environment, alongside a lower total cost of ownership and scalability to grow as the business grows."
