Infor Announces New Version of Infor ERP VISUAL

New Features Enable Greater Business Efficiencies and Increase
Productivity, Help Users Get More Relevant Data, Faster
ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
Infor today announced a new version of Infor ERP VISUAL, a
comprehensive business software solution for small to midsized
discrete manufacturers. Infor ERP VISUAL 6.5.3 features enhancements
that strengthen the engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, project
management, and customer order processes, enabling companies to
increase operational efficiencies and improve productivity. Users will
also gain quicker access to more relevant enterprise data and have
more options in the configuration of data fields, delivering greater
flexibility and enhanced convenience.

Many of the new enhancements were generated through customer
feedback gathered through Infor365, Infor's next-generation online
support portal and community of Infor users, as well as Infor's
support team.

"The customer-driven enhancements included in version 6.5.3
demonstrate Infor's commitment to enrich our software with the
business-specific functionality that our customers need," said Kevin
Piotrowski, director, industry and product marketing, discrete
industries, Infor. "Infor's customers have an active, significant
voice in shaping the development of their products. This process is a
vital enabler of our ability to deliver new product enhancements that
provide value to our customers."

The additions to Infor ERP VISUAL 6.5.3 include several new
user-defined features, including a customizable user interface and
audit trails. This ability will help Infor ERP VISUAL users increase
their efficiency and productivity by delivering a convenient,
consolidated view of the information that is most important to them in
their day-to-day business. User-defined audit trails identify key data
for tracking, providing visibility into where and what changes were
made, which can help ensure data quality and regulatory compliance.
Additionally, new features in the shipping and resources programs
enable users to further customize their defined fields, improving
workforce productivity.

Enhancements to the Manufacturing and Engineering modules of Infor
ERP VISUAL include new features and reports to enhance how customers
manage their warehouses and provide access to more accurate and
specific materials data. Purchasing managers benefit from a new
module, the Purchasing Management Window (PMW), which creates a
configurable "workbench" that allows users to see material shortages,
usage and purchase history, and generate a PO via drag and drop.
Additionally, a new receiving inspection window allows for a targeted
focus on individual tasks.

Project management enhancements include new workflow management
tools to identify bottlenecks in the manufacturing, purchasing and
work orders processes, removing delays and contributing to reduced
lead times and productivity improvements. The workflow tools simplify
project creation by reducing the information necessary to start a new
project and moving additional information entry to more relevant
points in the project timeline.
