Following a thorough review of the market, Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage was chosen, and one of the key criteria was Infor’s domain expertise and industry-specific functionality. The application will replace several existing ERP systems and deliver the benefits of standardization to the entire Polttimo Group.
Polttimo decided to go with a multi-tenant SaaS solution due to the lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and the ability to immediately benefit from new innovations that are delivered from Infor on a regular basis. They also saw the benefits of always having an up-to-date solution with reduced need for major upgrades.
