Infor joined with IBM Sept. 10 in announcing an agreement in which both companies would deliver end-to-end business solutions designed for discrete manufacturers and their customers.

IBM will develop, sell and implement solutions specifically designed for mid-sized manufacturers. The IBM offerings, which include the Infor ERP LN Software and IBM Global Business Services, will enable customers to streamline their operations and automate business processes.

IBM will deliver Infor ERP LN solutions initially in North America, with plans for expanding the program to additional geographic regions.

Infor and IBM will also engage in joint sales to new manufacturing clients in general discrete, electronics and electrical equipment, and transportation equipment.

''Infor and IBM have a strong and broadening relationship based on common goals and complementary strengths,'' said Dennis Michalis, senior vice president, channels & alliances for Infor. ''We look forward to continued discussions with IBM on future technology.''
