TURNBERRY ISLE, FL -- Infor Global Solutions, a supplier of enterprise applications that has acquired 13 companies since its founding in 2002, today outlined its technology roadmap, saying that its large portfolio of software products would be subject to a new development and integration environment that will eventually produce a common user interface, database independence and the adoption of such industry standards as J2EE and Microsoft's .NET platform. Infor, which now owns the products of such companies as Lilly Software and MAPICS, emphasized that its roadmap will not result in the company moving to one software platform. The idea behind the new development environment, which is called Corestone, is to enable acquired applications as well as new applications which Infor may develop to embrace a standards-based, open approach. Infor has already started to introduce Corestone, the first release of which was made in the second quarter of this year. The company envisions rolling out the environment through the fourth quarter of 2006. The disclosure of Corestone was made at a briefing for press and industry analysts in this resort community. The briefing marked the first time Infor top management has met with these groups to discuss its strategy and current and future plans. [Click to continue] |
