Infor Intelligent Open Network (ION)

Open Network.

Infor’s Intelligent Open Network (ION) is a powerful platform designed to easily integrate with Infor and third-party applications. By using ION to join up your systems, you can effectively identify and eliminate operational silos, improve exception management and achieve end-to-end efficiency. 

Simplicity and efficiency are the driving forces behind Infor ION. The technology is inspired by the internet, which is the most scalable and integrated application ever designed. If one application goes down, the internet doesn’t go down with it. It is built to be every bit as open and resilient.

Why would a business use Infor ION?

If your business has grown rapidly, the chances are that your systems have multiplied and so you end up with a patchwork of disparate systems, creating huge inefficiencies, information silos, costly maintenance and missed opportunities. ION sets out to correct this, by integrating all of your systems and identifying areas where information may be lost.
