ERP Support Services - Infor Support for Industrial Manufacturers

 

Need ERP Support? Guide Technologies & Infor have your back.

 

There's a reason why companies like Apple, Slack and IKEA are considered best-in-class and beloved by customers around the world. It’s not just that they make terrific products, it’s that they support them well and provide stellar customer care.

 

When you make an investment in enterprise technology like ERP and cloud solutions, you are making the choice to entrust another company (the software vendor) with your business and its data. This is a big decision, a major move, and good reason to expect that someone will be there to support you when you have questions, curiosities, and challenges using the solution.

 

With Guide Technologies and Infor, you can rest assured that your enterprise manufacturing solutions are well supported. Infor® supports your ERP. Guide Technologies supports you!

 

Infor Xtreme Team

 

Infor understands that a solution as powerful and all-encompassing as CloudSuite Industrial is going to bring a lot of questions. End users – especially those who haven’t used an enterprise cloud solution before – are going to need resources and day to day technical support, including assistance from real people who can help them using plain language and plenty of patience. Without support, your internal IT staff would be left to handle this alone.

 

Enter Infor Support Services and the Infor Xtreme™ Team, Infor’s support squad dedicated to helping you get the most value out of your solution.

 

With Infor Xtreme, whether connecting via your Infor customer portal or over the phone, you will get full support from professionals who have deep expertise covering Infor’s solutions and industries, including Infor-managed upgrades that keep your technology optimized and up to date. The benefits of Infor’s cloud support and service options include:

 

Online & Phone Support

 

Get the most from your solution with access to online chat sessions, knowledgebase articles, and video briefings on Infor’s latest application features – all delivered via the Xtreme™ Portal. You can also get help when you need it by speaking with an experienced support representative during regular business hours.

 

Upgrades

 

Ensure your business stays up-to-date and up-and-running on the latest version of your technology solution. With cloud deployment, upgrades are taken care of automatically with minimal disruption to your business operations.
