TL;DR:The shift from Infor Vantage to Kinetic SaaS is a major leap in operational efficiency. Learn how Infor expertise, especially through trusted partners like Intology, ensures smooth ERP transformation with strategic guidance, reduced risks, and long-term business value.


From Legacy to Leading-Edge: Infor Vantage to Kinetic SaaS

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are the backbone of any efficient business operation. For companies using Infor's legacy Vantage solution, the move to Infor Kinetic SaaS represents not just a software upgrade, but a strategic transformation. However, such a migration isn’t without its complexities. Leveraging Infor expertise is critical to ensuring the transition is both technically sound and commercially viable.

At Intology, we help organisations navigate this shift with confidence—reducing disruption and unlocking the full potential of Infor Kinetic SaaS.


Why Make the Move from Infor Vantage?

Infor Vantage, while robust in its time, was built for on-premise deployment and lacks the agility modern businesses demand. Here's why the shift to Infor Kinetic SaaS is a smart move:

  • Cloud-native architecture: Enables faster updates, lower infrastructure costs, and remote accessibility.

  • Modern user experience: Intuitive interfaces increase user adoption and reduce training time.

  • Real-time analytics: Enhanced decision-making with embedded business intelligence.

  • Scalability: Easily adapts to changing business needs without costly infrastructure upgrades.

However, the real value lies in how you transition—and that's where Infor expertise is invaluable.
