Infor CPQ Named to Constellation ShortList

Infor, a leading provider of industry-specific cloud applications, today announced that seven Infor solutions were named to the Constellation ShortList™ portfolio in Q1 2018, including Infor Configure Price Quote (CPQ). The technology vendors included in the Constellation ShortList offer solutions designed to help early adopters pursuing digital transformation initiatives.

“One of the keys to success for any company is being able to gather data, analyze it, and share it in a way that is digestible, so people and processes can work more efficiently,” said Stewart Applbaum, senior vice president and group manager, Infor. “At Infor, we strive to develop modern, industry-specific applications to help organizations navigate daily business challenges — whether that means reaching customers in a more timely manner with more personalized communications, organizing a warehouse database, or helping managers hire better talent. We believe being named to the Constellation ShortList across so many solution lines this quarter demonstrates our unique ability to help meet the various needs of both IT and business users – by delivering the speed, self-service and agility that front-line business workers demand and the scale and control designed to help meet rigorous corporate data standards.”

RenaissanceTech, an Infor partner based in Dublin, Ohio specializes in the implementation of the CPQ suite. With more than 150 successful implementations,  RenaissanceTech remains a leader for all servicing and software needs.

Infor CPQ helps you speed up the pace of innovation by freeing up engineers, designers, and other technical professionals from the selling process.

Create a consistent buying experience. Whether they’re deciding on typefaces with a sales rep or talking with a customer service rep on the phone, with Infor CPQ, you can make sure your products are represented exactly the same way, every time.

Deliver quality. Customers will move their business to a competitor if they don’t get the product they ordered on time and in the exact configuration they specified. Infor CPQ helps you to attain the same level of quality for configured and customized paper products that customers expect from off-the-shelf products.
