What is the Infor Industry Cloud Platform?
The Infor Industry Cloud Platform is the technology platform behind the Infor CloudSuites.
For companies using Infor LN, it is particularly relevant when integrations, data flows, and extensions need to be managed in a structured manner.
In short, the platform helps with the following:
- Connecting systems
- Making data more usable
- Implementing enhancements in a more controlled manner
- Building a modern target architecture
What tools are included?
The Infor Industry Cloud Platform comprises several technological building blocks that, when working together, support modern LN architectures. For many companies, the following components are particularly relevant:
For integrations, data flows, workflows, and the structured integration of Infor LN with third-party systems.
For the centralized provision and use of data from LN and related systems, for example, for analysis, transparency, and data-driven decision-making.
For reporting, analytics, and visualization based on consolidated data, particularly in conjunction with the Infor Data Lake.
For the development and deployment of supplementary applications and form-based extensions when standard functions need to be specifically enhanced.
For the structured management of and quick access to documents, files, and business-related records in a corporate setting.
Why the Platform Is Important for Infor LN
In practice, Infor LN rarely operates in isolation.
ERP systems, third-party systems, interfaces, and custom requirements must all work together.
That is exactly why the platform is important:
- Integrations can be planned in a more structured way
- Data flows are considered not only from a technical perspective but also from an architectural one
- Extensions can be integrated more seamlessly into the landscape
- Modernization is not limited to the ERP system alone
It's not just the target system that matters—it's also how robust the entire underlying architecture is.
Why Platform Issues Have a Major Impact on Migration
An Infor LN migration is not just about transferring LN to a new environment.
Equally important is how the future landscape will be integrated, expanded, and operated.
When platform issues are resolved too late:
- Existing interfaces are simply carried over
- The complexity that has built up over time remains
- Extensions are not neatly reorganized
- The new environment becomes unnecessarily difficult to manage
When platform issues are resolved early on:
- Integrations can be reevaluated
- The target architecture becomes clearer
- Migration decisions become more sustainable
- The future system landscape will be more scalable
Designing Clean and Scalable Integration

The Infor Industry Cloud Platform helps connect Infor LN to other systems in a structured way. This is particularly important when existing integrations need to be reviewed or rebuilt as part of a migration.
In the context of LN, this often involves:
- Integration of Third-Party Systems
- Consistent Data Flows
- Fewer Ad-Hoc Solutions
- A More Manageable Integration Landscape
Especially in legacy ERP environments, this is a key strategy for ensuring that complexity isn't simply carried over into the new landscape.
Implementing Expansions in a Controlled and Future-Proof Manner
In addition to integrations, the question of how to implement additional requirements related to Infor LN also plays an important role. Over the years, many companies have developed custom extensions, workarounds, or supplementary applications that may make sense from a business perspective—but are often difficult to manage from an architectural standpoint.
The Infor Industry Cloud Platform is relevant in this context because it can lay the foundation for a more modern and better-structured extension strategy. Instead of addressing requirements on a case-by-case basis, extensions can be considered more holistically in relation to the overall target architecture.
Typical questions in this context include:
- Which existing extensions should be retained?
- Which solutions can be restructured?
- Where do unnecessary dependencies arise?
- How can the LN landscape remain maintainable and expandable in the future?
When is strategic consulting worthwhile?
Strategic consulting for the Infor Industry Cloud Platform is always beneficial when companies want to not only maintain their Infor LN landscape from a technical standpoint but also improve it structurally. This is especially true for migrations, extensive integration requirements, or mature environments with many custom solutions.
In practice, a thorough assessment is particularly worthwhile in the following situations:
- An Infor-LN migration is imminent
- Integrations need to be reevaluated
- Existing customizations are difficult to manage
- There is no clear target architecture
- The cloud and ERP strategies are not yet properly aligned
This is particularly relevant for CIOs and IT leadership because platform decisions have long-term implications. They influence how complex future expansions will be, how manageable integrations will remain, and how effectively the ERP landscape can be further developed.
A strategic assessment helps place individual technical issues within a broader context. This not only creates greater transparency but also provides a better foundation for sound architectural and migration decisions.
How We Successfully Support LN Projects
We help companies properly understand the role of the Infor Industry Cloud Platform in the context of Infor LN migration, integration, and modernization. In doing so, we consider not only individual technical issues but also the target architecture as a whole.
Our focus is on jointly evaluating platform, integration, and migration issues.

Strategic Planning for Modernization Projects
As a specialized partner for Infor LN in discrete manufacturing, we combine strategic planning with a technical understanding of the system. This is precisely what is crucial when companies want to evaluate migration, integration, and architecture not in isolation, but as an integrated whole.
FAQs About the Industry Cloud Platform
Yes, the product is now known as the Infor Industry Cloud Platform. However, many companies still refer to the platform by its former name, Infor OS.
It provides the technological framework for topics such as integration, data flows, extensibility, and the overarching target architecture in the Infor-LN environment.
Because when it comes to migrations, it's not just the target system that matters. Integrations, extensions, and the future architecture must also be carefully evaluated to ensure that existing complexity isn't simply carried over.
