Is there a big data angle theme?

Absolutely. Big announcement at the Tuesday general session.

What is the biggest thing most people don't know about @infor ?

cloud is nice, but some of us just aren't/can't head there right now. Praying Infor doesn't forget the little guy.

Not forgetting the little guy. The case we'll make in the general session is that the model is becoming too compelling for our customers not to move to the Cloud. It's the Geoff Moore adoption cycle, right? You get to a point when it's a no brainer.

Gregory Chun

Terrence Blake, so the number one thing we should walk away with from Inforum is that we should move to the Cloud?o

No brainer except for the 6 month investment to upgrade...

Message is: Infor is investing heavily in the Cloud and making it as easy as possible to move to the Cloud. Our customers have to decide for themselves!

Did anyone see the SAP article on their new message? Simplify. What's Infor's main message

http://www.usatoday....

i'd say SAP has a ways to go before that messaging reflects reality, but a good vision.

beautiful, flexible purpose built software. And thanks for the humor SAP = simplify!

Thoughts on #SocialBusiness https://www.crowdcha...

I think social has to part of every app - kinda like search

I think that social is about two elements: data and workflow across multiple channels

Absolutely agree. That's what Infor Ming.le (TM) is all about. Focusing the collective power of the organization on a single hotel guest or even a manufactured machine part.

I agree that #socialbusiness is very early and all companies will be executing some sort of social infrastructure but it will be born in the cloud service - tools like crowdchat that work with platforms like infor

@furrier I think social is where Cloud was 5 years ago. Does it work? Absolutely but it will take the enterprise a little time to get to that appreciation.

Terrence Blake: I agree with you. It's super early the hype will die off and real "meat on the bone" will emerge. I was just saying #SocialMedia innovation will look like #devops in terms of real value

someone said on theCUBE "Interface is everything" - agree or no?

Deb Lewis

Yep, agree. We focus on user experience and beautiful design to bring simplicity to enterprise software and creates experiences people love.

If it's ugly, users don't want to use it. If it's cool and just like their iTunes, they want to come back. Simple truths.

Gregory Chun

Cool is nice, but it must be functional and efficient, those are not the same thing.

Interface being pretty to see is one thing, being beautiful because it simply works and works simply is gorgeous!

The state of enterprise apps is undergoing a massive transition - what are the big disruptors?

cloud, open architectures, data

The "SaaS-ification" of many business functions

and consumer experience expectations - enterprise users want/expect enterprise applications as easy to use, simple and enjoyable as consumer apps

social web is a big opportunity to bring real time data to workflow

Dave, your opening statement is very loaded. What do you mean by "massive" transition?

Gregory Chun

I agree with Peter Jarznka question above, please elaborate, what 'Massive Transition?"

We like to say the value is delivering complete apps to the industry users to absolutely minimize customizations.

agree - out-of-the-box, industry focused apps in the "language" of specific industries reduces deployment time, spurs adoption by wider user base
