BEST PRACTICES GUIDE
Aerospace & Defense
Aerospace and defense manufacturers rely on Infor’s highly secure technology to ensure they meet the demanding requirements of the aerospace and defense industry and aftermarket service. Here are some key challenges and goals that Infor helps its customers address every day.
Complex contracts and profitability
Manual processes for bidding, contracting, execution, and revenue recognition are error-prone and inefficient.
Supply chain complexity and Industry 4.0
Supply chains are multi-tiered and rigid, yet modernization efforts are often slow to respond.
Quality, compliance, and regulatory affairs
Stringent QA/RA and cybersecurity requirements must be adhered to and audited.
Aftermarket operations and MRO
Most aftermarket services are not leveraging digital innovation.
Legacy and outdated technology
Many manufacturers are saddled with complex, clunky, and outdated technology platforms.
Micro-vertical expertise delivers business value faster
