Why move your financial software to the cloud.
A business needs agility built into its infrastructure to stay ahead in today’s competitive environment. Infor SunSystems’s cloud-based financials software provides businesses with the kind of agile platform that enables organisations to respond swiftly to emerging challenges, opportunities, and changing organisational requirements. Utilising our cloud technology stack, the Infor OS operating service, the SunSystems cloud can provide you with the flexibility to improve your financial processes using tailored workflows, alerts, and mobile connectivity.

Innovate faster
SunSystems’s cloud-based business solutions empower an organisation to take risks and pursue business opportunities, such as rapidly adding new geographical financial units without adding expensive infrastructure. It becomes possible to take advantage of innovative functionality more quickly and cost-effectively than was historically possible. If an initiative succeeds, it can be scaled seamlessly to a wider audience. This unprecedented level of flexibility enables companies to foster a culture that’s conducive to implementing bold ideas—not just within IT, but throughout the entire organisation.
Generate process
Compliance is an area where cloud-based solutions offer extraordinary benefits to businesses eager to increase productivity and reduce risk. In a cloud-based SaaS world, security and compliance updates can be pushed out automatically to the entire organisation as soon as they’re available. Not only does this simplify the process of keeping systems up to date, it also ensures that everyone in the company has access to the latest information and tools to do their jobs effectively. SunSystems can help with ongoing security compliance and governance requirements. Capitalising on this opportunity to rein in the complexity, cost, and risk of non-compliance is relevant to nearly every business.
Business continuity
In today’s economy, downtime means lost revenue. Companies can’t afford to have essential applications offline. And in a world that’s always “switched on,” keeping the proverbial lights burning around the clock is fast becoming a business imperative. The SunSystems cloud solution is available every day, 24 hours a day, no matter where employees are located or what devices they’re using. Because cloud computing providers deploy equipment that is typically far more reliable than anything most companies would use for their own on-premises solutions, we can achieve system up-time levels that are difficult to match.
Decrease risk, increase collaboration and productivity
For many organisations, emerging markets and remote locations comprise the next great business frontier. However, capitalising on those opportunities can be complex and expensive, as getting the technical skills and equipment in place to establish operations is not a trivial undertaking. Combine that with variables to be answered, such as what product knowledge skills will be available to support legacy on-premises financial systems, or what types of new regulations and reporting requirements will have to be met.
To do their jobs better, faster, and more flexibly, workers have turned increasingly to “shadow systems” outside of officially sanctioned core IT applications. Personal mobile devices are used to tap into the company network. Teams can also use personal file-sharing accounts such as Dropbox and Google Drive to collaborate outside of approved corporate IT environments. In short, workers are implementing their own cloud-based solutions to achieve the ease of use and functionality they need but aren’t getting from their own IT departments.
These applications aren’t necessarily “bad,” yet if used in the wrong way, or not surrounded by the proper security infrastructure and protocols, they can expose businesses to unnecessary risk, including theft of intellectual property, lost data, even damage to a company’s reputation. With SunSystems’s cloud-based applications, organisations can help employees to do their jobs better, faster, smarter, and more collaboratively. The Infor Cloud technology stack provides a consumer-grade user interface, mobile connectivity, alerts, and configurable workflows to enhance collaboration and productivity. The result: decreased company risk, as employees no longer have to enlist external sources to optimise job performance.
