INETEC drives global growth with Infor cloud solution

Infor , the industry cloud company , has announced that INETEC , a provider of technology for non-destructive examination , has migrated to Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise , a cloud solution powered by Amazon Web Services ( AWS ) and designed specifically for manufacturing companies . The company expects to improve its operations around the globe as well as to reduce its IT administration overheads . The solution has been deployed in collaboration with IPL Consulting , a regional Infor channel and implementation partner , and launched into production in October 2023 .

Headquartered in Croatia , INETEC offers innovative robotics and software for non-destructive examination , mainly for nuclear power plants , with products and services meeting the highest quality and safety standards . As a project-focused robotics company , INETEC needed to use a sophisticated and flexible ERP solution , and it selected and implemented Infor LN . Due to dynamic growth and a new subsidiary established in the Middle East , in 2022 the company decided to move to the cloud version .
“ We appreciate the minimal need for customisation in the standard version of Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise ,” said Damir Osterman , CIO at INETEC . “ The cloud version has fitted perfectly into our business environment and helps us to better manage our global growth . We have to give big credit to IPL Consulting , as they led us smoothly through the whole project and fulfilled all our specific business requirements .
“ After an initial investment in migration , we are expecting to eliminate the need for future significant upfront investments in hardware and infrastructure , since we can leverage the infrastructure provided by the cloud service provider that should lead to potential cost savings .
“ Since Infor handles the maintenance and updates of the infrastructure , the burden on our IT team is decreased in the time and effort spent on routine tasks like patching and system updates . At the same time , centralised management tools in the cloud simplify IT administration tasks and visibility
of system state , making it easier to manage and monitor our system and data .
“ INETEC ’ s global operation now has better scalability , and we can utilise that to accommodate business growth and changes in demand that are crucial for our global operations with varying resource needs in different regions .”
“ Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise brings fast and efficient support to companies with a clear international growth strategy ,” said Anton Zelnik , Manager at IPL Consulting Adriatic . “ As an Infor partner , we are witnessing the increasing popularity of cloud-based solutions , whilst seeing how on-premises ERP solutions just can ’ t provide the support needed by complex enterprises , which demand efficient business control .” p
Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise was implemented and launched into production during 2023 . The company now has less administration , with incremental innovation replacing costly and time-consuming versioning and upgrades , compared to the on-premises version , and easier access to data globally providing more possibilities to use mobile applications , which is important for employees working around the globe . Analytical capabilities in the solution provide managers with better and more accurate insights into individual projects and project costs and lead to better decision making . In addition , INETEC started using new Croatian localisations for the cloud , owned by Infor .
