Infor

Top-tier enterprise software vendor with industry-specific cloud ERP and adjacent marketing technology capabilities; subsidiary of Koch Industries

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 and backed by Koch Industries (which acquired it in 2020), Infor serves over 60,000 organizations across more than 170 countries, with deep vertical expertise in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, retail, hospitality, and distribution. Its flagship platform, Infor CloudSuite, delivers industry-tailored ERP and operational software built on Amazon Web Services. Infor's connection to the AdTech ecosystem stems primarily from its acquisition of Epiq Commerce (formerly known as Starmount) and its broader marketing technology portfolio, as well as its ownership of Infor CRM and marketing automation capabilities that intersect with advertising and customer engagement workflows. The company has historically grown through aggressive M&A activity, acquiring dozens of enterprise software companies over the years, some of which touched digital marketing, retail media, and customer data management. While Infor is not a pure-play AdTech company, its enterprise marketing suite and CRM tools position it as a peripheral player in the broader marketing technology landscape. Its scale, deep industry verticalization, and integration with Koch Industries' vast industrial portfolio give it a unique competitive position among enterprise software vendors that overlap with marketing and advertising technology.
