Agentic Index
Infor vs SAP (2026)
Infor and SAP both embed agents in industry ERP: Infor, Koch owned, pairs industry cloud ERP with the Infor Nexus supply chain network and embedded GenAI and agent features, while SAP ships 40+ Joule agents and Supply Chain Orchestration across the broadest enterprise estate. Both are contact sales. Industry specific depth (Infor's verticals plus Nexus network) versus horizontal estate breadth (SAP) is the real axis.
