News from 2009 IASA Conference: Infor Enhances Financial Management solution with SOA Capabilities

Infor enhances financial management solution with SOA capabilities, geared toward increasing productivity while lowering cost of ownership.

Infor (Alpharetta, Ga.) has begun delivering Infor FMS SunSystems, a global financial management solution, with built-in SOA capabilities. FMS SunSystems 5.4, which provides a platform for financial reporting, is now equipped for interoperability with complementary Infor and non-Infor solutions, delivering added business benefits and providing a lower total cost of ownership, according to the vendor. FMS SunSystems 5.4 utilizes Infor Open SOA, an event-driven service-oriented architecture framework, to provide a standards-based approach for integration of both Infor and non-Infor systems and data sources. Through Infor Open SOA, customers can add software applications and future component-based enhancements without the need to "rip-and-replace" software or interrupt other systems during operations.

FMS SunSystems version 5.4 is available in nine languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese (simplified and traditional). It supports Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and 2008 as well as Oracle 10g and 11g platforms.
