Infor Embarks on North American Channel Recruitment Drive

ATLANTA, Dec. 19 /PRNewswire/ — Infor today announced it has launched a
campaign to recruit new channel partners in North America. Seeking to expand
on its year-over-year increase in license revenue from the channel, Infor
looks to enlist value-added resellers (VARs) that have deep industry-specific
knowledge in addition to a strong understanding of enterprise software and its
implementation. The company previously announced drives in EMEA and South
America to expand its worldwide base of more than 1,400 VARs.

Infor channel partners have access to world class training and support,
