Silex Honoured For Enterprising Excellence

ATLANTA – September 11, 2007 – Infor today announced the winners of its first annual Enterprising Excellence Award, established to recognize customers who are using Infor solutions to become more effective competitors, expand into new markets, or enhance their operational agility.

The winners were highlighted at Inforum 2007, Infor’s largest global user conference being held this week in Las Vegas. This year’s theme, “Enterprising U,” celebrates the enterprising qualities of Infor’s more than 70,000 customers, how they benefit from the Infor difference, and highlights the networking and learning opportunities at the four-day event.

The winners were chosen from more than 60 nominations submitted from Infor employees, channel partners, and customers. Awards were distributed in several categories, including: operational excellence, financial excellence, customer excellence, innovation, and enterprising customer of the year.

“These seven companies represent what it means to be enterprising: creative, agile, resourceful, focused and different,” said Rick Parker, SVP of global marketing for Infor. “They are the vanguard of the strategic application of technology. Infor congratulates all of our winners and nominees for their enterprising approach to market and competitive challenges.”
