Infor's Flex Program
Infor is committed to bringing flexibility and value to their customers through a new program called Infor Flex.  This program allows customers to upgrade or replace older Infor solutions.
 
Two options are available and they both provide a compelling bundle of software and services.  Infor Flex is available to qualifying customers with active maintenance agreements.
 
The Infor Flex Upgrade - Upgrade to the latest release of your current solution with minimal or zero license fees and fast, cost-effective implementation services.  This option provides the upgrade path to the latest application version.
 
The Infor Flex Exchange - Allows you to exchange your current Infor application for another Infor Solution on a like-for-like basis, for a nominal transaction fee and very competitive service rates.  This allows you to move from one Infor product line to another economically.

 MCS Business Highlights 
MCS customer purchases Infor's Storefront module for eCommerce solution:
 
A major North Eastern based inspirational gifts and publishing company wanted to broaden their business. In business since 1930, this supplier was looking to capitalize on a larger market and improve customer service. The solution would be through e-commerce. An existing A+ customer since 2005, their decision was to purchase the Infor Storefront module. This allowed them to become a 24 x 7 business and provided their dealers with visibility to their shipment status, inventory levels, and web specials. It also allowed their sales reps to see each order their customers placed and provide tracking information from the time the ups package went out the door. The first month after the system was deployed; the company averaged 7 orders via on line. Now they are up to 150-200 orders a month and growing. The biggest benefit of this solution is that it allowed them to re-deploy personnel into sales positions while improving while improving customer service by allowing the customer to do self service. Conducting business on the Internet gives companies a competitive advantage and increase growth. MCS showed how Infor's Storefront module was the right solution for this gift market importer and distributor.
