If you still think open source software platforms can’t attract enterprise software solutions, well, think again. Infor is collaborating with Red Hat to deliver Infor’s ERP suite on both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and JBoss Enterprise Middleware solutions. This will enable Infor, an organization with more than 70,000 customers, to expand its reach to Linux platform–based organizations and at the same time enable Red Hat, one of the leading distributors of open source solutions, to expand its frontiers by deploying Infor 10 ION and Infor LN, now certified to run under Red Hat’s Linux distribution systems.

Ali Shadman, Infor’s senior vice president of Business Cloud, expands on the collaboration:

Infor wants to provide our customers access to leading innovation while reducing total cost of ownership so they can focus on enabling business processes that help drive growth and profitability. By collaborating with Red Hat, we are working with the industry leader to give our customers the choice to standardize on open standards while providing world-class applications that deliver proven value without compromising performance or functionality.

This is another interesting option for those organizations committed to the adoption of open source–based infrastructures with the need for a robust ERP option in the market.
