Velocity Suite

Value+

Infor Value+ is a catalog of solutions that can be added to an Infor ERP system. Each solution in the catalog leverages advanced technologies such as AI, GenAI, BaaS, and RPA. Every solution in the Infor Value+ catalog is pre-built, allowing for rapid implementation and fast time-to-value.

Value+ solutions are grouped into these three categories:

• Value+ Enterprise Automations

  Include solutions that automate processes and workflows for improved operational efficiency.

• Value+ Insights

  Include analytics and reporting solutions to facilitate better decision making and identify new opportunities for growth.

• Value+ Advanced Workspaces

  Include a central location enhanced with AI insights and automations where you can view information and take action based on your role and day-to-day tasks.

Process Mining

Infor Process Mining applies process analytics to identify patterns and inefficiencies in organizational processes, supporting improved operational insight.

As an add-on component of the Infor Process Intelligence (IPI) solution, Infor Process Mining analyzes transactional event data from Infor ERP systems to identify bottlenecks, anomalies, and improvement opportunities. It supports monitoring and analyzing business processes for discovery, conformance, performance, and benchmarking. The resulting insights assist with decision-making and enable ongoing process optimization, including process streamlining, resource optimization, and cost reduction.

Process Mining includes these key benefits:

• Fast end-to-end process visibility: Instantly visualizes how processes actually run across systems to uncover inefficiencies and deviations.
• Improved efficiency and performance: Identifies bottlenecks and automation opportunities to streamline operations and reduce costs.
• Uses generative AI to automatically generate clear, actionable summaries of process mining results. Accelerates insights with AI-driven narratives that explain process issues and suggest improvements.
• Highly scalable and customizable: Adapts to various business sizes and industries with flexible deployment and tailored configurations.
• Advanced process analytics: Offers deep analysis tools like conformance checking and benchmarking to ensure process compliance and optimization.
• Out-of-the-box widgets and industry catalog: Speeds up implementation with prebuilt dashboards and process templates tailored to specific industries.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

Infor Robotic Process Automation enables businesses to automate their processes using software bots. These bots can replicate human actions or perform system tasks. They interact with Infor, non-Infor, browser-based, and on-premises systems.

The RPA application can be used to perform these actions:

• Automate processes across multiple software platforms.
• Handle repetitive data entry tasks.
• Set up rule-based automation for tasks like invoice processing and data analysis.
• Create intelligent bots for advanced workflows using machine learning, such as document classification and data extraction.

Infor Document Processor (IDP)

Infor Document Processor is an underlying technology for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) used by Infor when building Infor Value+ solutions. Specifically, it is a complete platform for document digitization, combined with RPA for text extraction and interpretation - part of the complex definition of process automation.

Infor Document Processor provides the capability to process and extract text and data from a business document, such as an invoice, purchase order, and packing list. IDP leverages OCR technology and GenAI models to efficiently digitize and process documents. The platform is enhanced with pre- and post-processing steps of document text extraction. In the current phase, IDP supports the processing of .jpeg, .png, and .pdf file types.

The IDP functionality is leveraged through API endpoints exposed in API Gateway under the Infor Document Processor API Suite.

IDP is used in many of the Value+ solutions that involve processing a document.

Infor Generative AI (Infor GenAI)

Infor GenAI is the generative AI platform of Infor OS. It uses large language models (LLMs) to enable applications, including third-party applications, to use generative AI capabilities. Infor GenAI assists users with tasks such as data and text generation, summarization, translation, contextualization, and analysis through its embedded experience capabilities. By integrating generative AI into these tasks, companies can save time, improve productivity, and enhance employee efficiency across various business applications.

Infor GenAI is used in many of the Value+ solutions for various types of translation, document scanning with IDP, and text generations.

Infor Artificial Intelligence (Infor AI)

Infor Artificial Intelligence provides a set of tools for creating, managing, and deploying predictive and prescriptive models. By combining multiple machine learning (ML) algorithms with advanced intelligence technologies and knowledge-engineered decision logic, enterprises use Infor AI to increase sales, reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and generate insights.

Infor AI focuses on creating value through predictive and prescriptive analytics, empowering smarter and more efficient business decisions. To achieve this goal, Infor industry AI provides:

• Machine learning based on predictive analytics concepts.
• Optimization based on prescriptive analytics concepts.

Infor AI is used in many Value+ solutions to support a wide range of intelligent capabilities, such as anomaly detection, name similarity matching, forecasting, and email summarization.

Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS)

Infor Backend-as-a-Service provides a cloud-native framework for creating serverless APIs and microservices, supports full API lifecycle management, and facilitates Function-as-a-Service solutions. It supports integrations between Infor products or between an Infor product and a third-party application, reducing development time and operational costs. Once developed, services are automatically published as new APIs in the API Gateway.

By leveraging a cloud-native microservices architecture, Infor BaaS enables developers to focus on business logic instead of backend infrastructure management. It streamlines the entire API lifecycle, from development to deployment, helping businesses build scalable integrations with reduced overhead and improved efficiency.

Infor BaaS enhances how businesses connect their systems by offering seamless integration capabilities between Infor products and third-party applications. With support for Java and TypeScript programming languages, developers can create custom APIs that invoke existing services, customize Infor APIs, and build event-driven functions with greater ease. The integrated Visual Studio Code extension supports development workflows by providing local development capabilities with streamlined cloud deployment.
