In its newly released SCP Technology Value Matrix 2021, Nucleus Research outlines that 'resilient plans and operational agility are crucial for companies to successfully navigate dynamic environments while accounting for resource constraints and customer service requirements.'

Nucleus has named Infor Supply Chain Planning a Leader in this assessment, recognized particularly for its statistics with machine learning, end-to-end multi-enterprise networks visibility, cost optimization, and third-party connectivity.

Infor Supply Chain Planning is a best-of-breed suite of comprehensive tools to support your journey to continuous planning, a critical step toward end-to-end value chain orchestration and a key requirement to weather disruption and overcome uncertainty.

In its Value Matrix analysis of Infor SCP, Nucleus notes: 'While its overall strategy pledges support for all deployments, Infor has facilitated transitions to the cloud by extending the structural integrity of its on-premises solution to a cloud-native delivery model. … As Infor expands its coverage of supply chain use cases, Nucleus expects its value proposition to resonate with both current customers and organizations that need to overhaul their supply chain planning processes.'
