How Infor Achieved Better Performance While Reducing Costs Using AWS

2016

When Infor made the decision to move to the cloud and offer comprehensive industry suites, the company identified many customer advantages. “Our business was growing in places like Asia and Europe, and we wanted to be able to bring up applications faster for customers in those regions,” says Randy Young, director of cloud operations at Infor. “To do that, we needed more agility, and building data centers did not make sense for our customers and the business. We wanted to get away from managing our own hardware procurement and provisioning.”

How Infor Built Its Serverless Application Testing Solution Using AWS Lambda, Amazon SWF, and Amazon DynamoDB

David Lowry, senior cloud manager at Infor, explains how the company built Windsor, a serverless application testing solution. Infor uses Windsor to set up, tear down, and run test cases on more than 50 multi-tenant enterprise applications that are deployed on AWS.
