Entry priceContact salesFull pricing detail

Industry cloud ERP and supply chain software whose agentic layer, Velocity Suite, packages role-based industry AI agents, a pre-built automation catalog, process mining and an agent builder for one annual fee.

Infor builds industry-specific cloud ERP and supply chain software, sold as CloudSuites for manufacturing, distribution, healthcare and the public sector and running on a multi-tenant platform on AWS.

Its agentic layer is packaged as Infor Velocity Suite: a library of more than a hundred role-based Industry AI Agents built on micro-vertical processes, the Value+ catalog of pre-built automations a buyer browses from inside CloudSuite, process mining, the embedded GenAI Assistant, and Agent Factory for building custom agents with their own prompts, tools and guardrails. The whole package carries a single annual flat fee rather than consumption pricing, and a year of managed services comes with it.

The Infor Agentic Orchestrator is the piece that coordinates agents across a multi-step process, directing task agents in sequence, holding context between them and asking for confirmation before a sensitive step. Infor publishes its April 2026 version as being in limited availability, along with the MCP connectivity that would link agents to non-Infor systems and the reasoning-transparency and evaluation tooling that come with it. Infor is owned by Koch.

In practice

Generic ERP makes you bend your process to fit the software. Infor's agents are built on micro-vertical processes for manufacturing, distribution and service industries, so they arrive knowing how the work is actually done.

You want to start with AI without modeling the cost of every experiment. Velocity Suite carries a single annual price covering the agents, the orchestration, the tools to build your own and a year of managed services.

Your team wants automation it can pick off a shelf. The Value+ catalog of pre-built automations is browsable from inside CloudSuite, with use-case packs aimed at a specific role, department or process and deployments often inside thirty days.

7.0 / 14 capabilities · 50%

Integrations & Tool Calling	Full
Agents act inside the CloudSuite processes they are embedded in, and the platform's own integration layer is the Infor OS integration platform and the Infor ION API Gateway, with Value+ automations and Infor Robotic Process Automation reaching the surrounding systems. Native MCP server integration, which would connect agents directly to Infor Data Fabric, Process Intelligence, Enterprise Performance Management, RPA and Birst, and convert any external API into a usable MCP tool through the ION API Gateway, is published as a limited-availability enhancement. Sourceinfor.com/blog/infor-agentic-orchestrator-ai-value-driversread 2026-09-17
Workflow Orchestration	Full
Industry AI Agents are role-based agents built on micro-vertical processes that orchestrate and automate workflows, and Velocity Suite bundles them with the deterministic side of the platform the buyer already operates: Value+ pre-built automations discoverable inside CloudSuite, Infor Robotic Process Automation, process mining, and the Infor OS integration platform. Supervisor-led sequencing, where a Supervisor Agent directs specialized task agents in order and validates execution at each step, is published as a limited-availability enhancement rather than generally available. Sourceinfor.com/platform/velocity-suiteread 2026-09-17
Knowledge Grounding & RAG	Partial
Agents carry industry and process context: they are built on micro-vertical processes, paired with process mining so they run against mapped process context inside CloudSuite, and Infor states they are grounded in connected and governed data held in Infor Data Fabric. Neither a document ingestion and retrieval surface nor a citation surface is documented, so this is process and data context rather than knowledge grounding. Sourceinfor.com/platform/velocity-suiteread 2026-09-17
Human Oversight & Guardrails	Partial
Custom agents are built in Agent Factory complete with their own prompts, tools and guardrails, and Infor describes use-case packs in which policy-sensitive approvals stay in human hands. The one documented approval step is the Supervisor Agent requiring user confirmation before executing sensitive operations, and that capability is published as limited availability rather than generally available. Sourceinfor.com/blog/infor-agentic-orchestrator-ai-value-driversread 2026-09-17
Security, Identity & Governance	Partial
Third parties assess Infor regularly against privacy standards, and it has achieved GDPR Privacy Program Validation and APEC Cross Border Privacy Rules Certification, both independently assessed. No identity or permission surface is documented, including which identity providers and provisioning standards are supported, and no security certification or audit report appears on Infor's own pages. Sourceinfor.com/about/data-privacyread 2026-09-17
Observability & Auditability	Partial
Inline Thoughts surfaces an agent's reasoning in real time and Focus Mode is offered for accuracy and speed, which Infor presents as the transparency needed to move AI from controlled testing into production. Both sit in the observability and governance area that Infor publishes as a limited availability enhancement. No audit log separate from runtime traces, export to a monitoring or SIEM system, or retention term is documented. Sourceinfor.com/blog/infor-agentic-orchestrator-ai-value-driversread 2026-09-17
Memory & State Persistence	Unable to verify
The only documented state mechanism is context within a run: a Supervisor Agent maintains context across tool invocations so a process can be carried from start to finish without losing it, and that capability is itself published as limited availability. Sourceinfor.com/blog/infor-agentic-orchestrator-ai-value-driversread 2026-09-17
Deployment & Data Residency	Unable to verify
One delivery model is published: the Industry Cloud Platform runs on AWS as a true multi tenant cloud, described as global infrastructure. No region list, residency control, dedicated or single tenant option, or customer environment choice is published. Sourceinfor.com/platformread 2026-09-17
Prebuilt Agents, Templates & Packs	Full
The Industry AI Agent library passed one hundred industry-specific, role-based agents in the April 2026 release and is included in Velocity Suite, beside the Value+ catalog of pre-built, AI-driven ERP add-ons that a buyer browses and adopts from inside CloudSuite, and prescriptive AI use-case packs aimed at a specific role, department or process. Sourceinfor.com/platform/velocity-suiteread 2026-09-17
Triggers & Channel Coverage	Partial
Agents are role-based and embedded in the flow of work, reached through the Infor GenAI Assistant and the CloudSuite screens where the process runs, and Infor describes them as agents that recognize the right moment to act. No schedule, webhook or system event that starts an agent without a person asking is documented, so recognizing the moment is a claim rather than a mechanism. Sourceinfor.com/platform/enterprise-airead 2026-09-17
Model Flexibility & Routing	Unable to verify
No customer or administrator-facing choice of language model, routing between models, or bring your own model surface is published; the agents and the GenAI Assistant are presented as Infor's own embedded AI with no provider named. Sourceinfor.com/platform/enterprise-airead 2026-09-17
APIs, SDKs & MCP Extensibility	Full
Agent Factory is included in Velocity Suite and lets organizations build and deploy their own agents complete with their own prompts, tools and guardrails, and the platform's own Infor ION API Gateway is the documented route in and out of the estate, with Infor OS carrying application integration. The MCP server integration, including the gateway converting any external API into a usable MCP tool, is published as a limited-availability enhancement. Sourceinfor.com/blog/infor-agentic-orchestrator-ai-value-driversread 2026-09-17
Testing, Debugging & Optimization	Partial
An Evaluation Framework validates agent behavior against expected outcomes, and Infor presents it with Inline Thoughts and Focus Mode as what moves AI from controlled testing into production. It sits in the observability and governance area Infor publishes as a limited availability enhancement. No dataset, fixture or scoring surface for testing workflows before production is documented, and nothing describes an optimization loop after deployment beyond the managed services wrapper. Sourceinfor.com/blog/infor-agentic-orchestrator-ai-value-driversread 2026-09-17
Browser & Computer Use	Unable to verify
Infor Enterprise Automation is described as connecting robotic process automation, AI and back-end automation in one platform, with pre-built automation flows that run in the background or directly within CloudSuite. No bot or agent operating a browser, a desktop or an application screen is documented. Sourceinfor.com/platform/enterprise-automationread 2026-09-17

Pricing

Contact sales

flat

What is public

Infor publishes the shape of its AI pricing but no numbers. The Velocity Suite page states an all-inclusive package on one flat fee, a single annual price covering industry AI agents, orchestration, agent-building tools, process mining and automations, and a year of managed services for new customers, positioned against having to run a financial calculation for each new AI experiment. The pricing section routes to a contact form. Core CloudSuite ERP remains quote-based with no public tiers.

Billing mechanics

Enterprise subscription, quote-based, scoped to the industry CloudSuite. The agentic layer is sold as Infor Velocity Suite on a single annual flat fee that Infor states includes the industry AI agents, orchestration, the tools to build custom agents, process mining and automations, plus a year of CareFor managed services, explicitly in place of consumption-based AI pricing. No figures published.

Cost watchouts

Significant implementation/integration costs; multi-module subscriptions; pricing requires direct engagement

Additional watchouts

Custom enterprise pricing only (no public tiers); multi-module licensing + heavy implementation; AI features bundled into CloudSuite subscriptions

Sales call required

Yes, required for paid access

Commercial notes

Industry cloud ERP and supply chain vendor owned by Koch, selling quote-based enterprise subscriptions, with the agentic capabilities packaged as Velocity Suite on a flat annual fee rather than metered AI consumption.

Key ambiguities

Infor publishes the pricing structure but no figure: Velocity Suite is stated as one annual flat fee with everything included, and the pricing section routes to contact. Separately, the enhanced Agentic Orchestrator is published as being in limited availability, so part of what the fee covers is not generally available.

Support SLA / resale

Infor enterprise support; sold direct + via partners; CloudSuite (AWS-hosted), Infor OS platform, GenAI Assistant
