Business application software provider Infor has introduced an enhanced version of Infor10 PLM Process (Optiva), which boasts of Infor10 ION and Infor10 Workspace functionality, to provide users with a single sign-on screen and flexible middleware that connects all business applications into one unified system.

By enabling integration with Infor and third-party applications, and storing background scripts in a new scripting library, eliminating the need to modify or recode after an upgrade, Infor10 PLM Process positions companies for future expansion.

In addition, PLM Process is now capable of integrating with various SAP applications through Infor10 ION, providing greater connectivity, business process monitoring, data sharing and enhanced workflows and collaboration across the enterprise.

Infor10 PLM Process offers users the unifying capabilities of Infor10 ION and the consumer-grade user experience of Infor10 Workspace to connect applications in a single, easy-to-use system that simplifies and streamlines business processes, providing users direct access to all relevant, real-time data for faster and more intelligent decision making.

In many cases, process manufacturers who run SAP applications can now take advantage of packaged integration to PLM Process through Infor10 ION, an open, lightweight middleware platform that provides interoperability and business process management across Infor and non-Infor applications.

Infor PLM global product manager Venkat Rajaji said process manufacturers are facing unprecedented pressure to develop products and get them to the marketplace faster.

"By taking advantage of Infor’s leading-edge ION and Workspace technology, as well as a scripting library and web client enablement, Infor10 PLM Process delivers greater speed, agility and collaboration than ever before in the industry," said Venkat.
