AI is finally getting a job | Infor Analyst Summit Takeaways
Constellation Research analysts are back from the Infor Analyst Summit in Atlanta with one clear message: AI that doesn’t understand your business processes won’t move the needle.
Infor is doubling down on:
- Industry value chains across 60+ sub-verticals
- A business domain/context graph that connects data, processes, and semantics
- Embedded process mining, RPA, and AI on a single platform
- Speed to value, including discrete manufacturers optimizing SLAs within just 3 weeks of go-live
Constellation’s R “Ray” Wang, Holger Mueller, and Michael Ni also highlight a major leadership shift:

It’s about operationalizing AI on top of well-understood, deeply modeled processes.
Watch the full conversation to see how Infor is approaching AI, vertical depth, and enterprise transformation.
