Infor has announced “Going Green”, an initiative to help organisations implement green and sustainability programs through the use of enterprise software.  Infor is educating customers on how its software can help them achieve their green and sustainability goals, such as reducing energy consumption through Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), decreasing carbon footprint through Supply Chain Management (SCM) and using Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) to minimize landfill waste and the environmental impact of product manufacturing.  Infor has launched a website, www.infor.com/goinggreen , dedicated to “going green”.

Infor says that organisations are implementing green programs for a number of factors, such as the need to decrease waste and improve asset utilisation, maintain compliance with government regulations and reduce energy and materials costs. There is also a growing demand from consumers for products created and distributed in harmony with the precepts of environmental stewardship and social responsibility. Infor says that Enterprise software can help organisations address both of these concerns.

“The common thread for organisations that are going green is the need to meet sustainability objectives and drive a return-on-investment,” said Melissa Puls, senior director of solutions marketing for Infor.  “These objectives aren't mutually exclusive. Infor is focusing its efforts to help customers achieve both.”
