Infor selects Amazon Bedrock for GenAI capabilities

Business cloud software company Infor has selected Amazon Bedrock to deploy generative AI solutions within the Infor CloudSuite.

The contact builds on Infor’s 11-year relationship with Amazon Web Services. Under the collaboration, Infor has built industry-specific use cases on AWS technology designed to allow its customers to complete daily tasks more efficiently.

Infor says it has already released hundreds of predictive and prescriptive AI solutions through its Augmented Intelligence Service, built using AWS services such as Amazon Sagemaker. The company adds that adding Amazon Bedrock will see customers provided with access to 60 additional use cases by the end of the year.

The new capabilities will include use cases such as helping nurses and other frontline workers save time on administrative tasks such as scheduling, accelerating product launches by generating multiple descriptions for each item and publishing them with a single click, and simplifying the management of complex projects such as those from industries such as aerospace or defence.

Infor CTO Soma Somasundaram said Amazon Bedrock will support the company on its mission to democratise AI by making it available to customers of all sizes and levels of technical competency.

“Our goal is to build products that deliver transformative technologies directly to those who benefit most — the frontline people using Infor solutions,” he said. “At Infor, we believe that merely giving customers the tools to apply GenAI isn’t enough. Our Industry AI approach combines both the tools and deep industry capability and expertise to collaboratively work with customers to build and offer solutions that drive real value.”
