Infor

One of the largest enterprise software vendors globally, competing directly with SAP and Oracle in industry-specific ERP and cloud applications

Infor is a major enterprise software company headquartered in New York City, specializing in industry-specific cloud applications, ERP systems, and business intelligence solutions. Founded in 2002, the company serves over 60,000 organizations worldwide across verticals including manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, retail, hospitality, and the public sector. Infor differentiates itself by building deep industry functionality directly into its software rather than relying on extensive customization, enabling faster deployment and lower total cost of ownership for its customers. Infor's product portfolio includes its flagship CloudSuite ERP platform, supply chain management, human capital management, financial management, and analytics tools. The company has made significant investments in artificial intelligence and machine learning through its Infor Coleman AI platform, as well as its Infor OS operating platform that underpins its cloud ecosystem. Infor operates its own cloud infrastructure and has built a robust partner ecosystem to extend its reach globally. While Infor is primarily an enterprise software company rather than a pure-play AdTech firm, it has acquired and maintained subsidiaries with relevance to the advertising technology and marketing technology space. Koch Industries completed its full acquisition of Infor in 2020 at a reported valuation of approximately $11 billion, making Infor a wholly-owned subsidiary of Koch Industries — though Infor operates independently as a standalone entity with no separate parent listed in its own corporate identity.
