`Infor Enters Cloud CRM Market with Agreement to
`Acquire Saleslogix
`Infor, a leading provider of business application software and cloud services serving more than 70,000
`customers, today announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase the assets of Saleslogix, a
`leading provider of SaaS customer relationship management (CRM) software.
`Saleslogix' CRM will become Infor CRM , establishing Infor's position as a leader in the cloud-based CRM
`market, and adding strong sales and service functionality to Infor CloudSuite , the first group of industry-
`specific application suites available on Amazon Web Services' (AWS) cloud. Infor plans a major investment in
`the product, including increased scalability, refreshed user interface with Infor's leading UX designers in New
`York, and added industry-specific functionality that leverages Infor's deep expertise in industry processes.
`More than 1,700 organizations around the world rely on Saleslogix CRM for sales management, marketing,
`customer service and support, and reporting. Together, Infor and Saleslogix have more than 300 mutual
`customers.
`"CRM systems have typically tracked a small subset of customer, marketing, and sales data. Infor's industry
`applications have a vast repository of information on a customer's overall interactions derived from deep
`industry processes we automate and we'll build in context analytics that deliver unique customer insight," said
`Charles Phillips, CEO of Infor. "Infor can now deliver the first truly end to end demand-to-supply chain, from lead
`to ship, by integrating marketing and sales processes with supply chain planning, sales and operations
`planning, and production scheduling in real time."
`According to Gartner, the total CRM market revenue worldwide is expected to grow from less than $24 billion in
`2014 to more than $42 billion in 2018. Infor expects even higher demand for CRM capabilities pre-built into
`industry suites as more companies seek to take advantage of vast data from across the enterprise in sales and
`service efforts. With Infor CRM, customers will be able to manage the full customer lifecycle in one
`environment, accessing relevant ERP data to help win customers, manage future sales opportunities, and
`deliver exceptional customer service.
`Infor expects to extend CRM with industry-specific attributes and processes integrated with Infor ERP
`applications beginning with Infor CRM Automotive, CRM Healthcare, CRM Public Sector, and CRM
`Manufacturing.
`Based in Scottsdale, AZ, Saleslogix was founded in 1998 and employs approximately 105 people. Terms of the
`deal, which is expected to close in the next several weeks, are not being disclosed.
