Multi-tenant means Infor CloudSuite customers use a shared cloud application environment, while their data remains separate and secure. This allows Infor to manage infrastructure, security and updates centrally, giving businesses access to scalable cloud services and continuous innovation. For organisations used to managing their own updates, this can mean a different way of working. But the main benefit is the platform remains current, secure and ready to adopt new capabilities, without placing the burden of full updates on internal teams.
