Infor CloudSuite Modules FAQ
What is Infor CloudSuite?
Infor CloudSuite is Infor's family of industry-specific cloud ERP suites — including Industrial (manufacturing), Healthcare, Hospitality, and others — built on AWS with the shared Infor OS platform for AI and analytics. Rather than one generic ERP, each CloudSuite edition is pre-configured for its target industry's processes, aimed at large enterprises wanting deep industry fit over broad customization.
What is Infor CloudSuite EME?
Infor CloudSuite EME (Enterprise Management, formerly Infor LN) is Infor's ERP edition for complex manufacturing and distribution, particularly in industries like automotive, industrial equipment, and aerospace with intricate multi-site and engineer-to-order requirements. It's one of several industry-specific editions in the broader Infor CloudSuite portfolio, alongside CloudSuite Industrial and others.
How much does Infor CloudSuite cost?
Infor CloudSuite pricing is custom and not publicly listed, reflecting its enterprise pricing tier and the fact that cost varies significantly by industry edition, module scope, and company size. Typical total contract value runs roughly $300K–$2M+, with implementations taking 9–18 months. Get a quote from Infor or an Infor-certified partner scoped to your specific edition and requirements.
Why choose Infor CloudSuite?
Infor CloudSuite suits large enterprises wanting deep industry-specific functionality — manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, and others — with less customization required than a generic ERP, plus AWS-hosted cloud infrastructure and Infor OS extras like Coleman AI and Birst analytics. The trade-off is a more complex product portfolio that generally requires an Infor-certified partner to implement well.
What is CloudSuite Industrial within the Infor CloudSuite portfolio?
CloudSuite Industrial is the manufacturing-focused edition of Infor CloudSuite, built for discrete and mixed-mode production with shop floor control and manufacturing execution. It's one of several industry-specific editions Infor offers — others target healthcare, hospitality, and complex engineer-to-order manufacturing — all sharing the same AWS-hosted Infor OS foundation for analytics and AI.
