Infor CPQ Optimizes Configuration Across Operations

Executive Summary

Infor CPQ delivers substantial benefits to companies with complex, end-to-end process requirements, whether or not they run other Infor business applications. For those that do, it enhances the value and usability of Infor ERP offerings. For those that don’t, Infor CPQ’s deep integration with production systems facilitates operations, from initial interest all the way through to final delivery. These strengths play particularly well within the manufacturing sector, especially for configured-to-order and engineered-to-order products. Even so, Infor CPQ is finding a growing audience in additional sectors as well.

The broad scope of Infor CPQ capabilities spans visual configuration, a configuration and rules engine, multistep pricing, margin analysis, and quote production. In addition to integrating with production systems, Infor CPQ integrates readily with many CRM and commerce systems. Infor is also in the process of incorporating its contract lifecycle management capabilities directly into the CPQ offering.
