Farnborough – Feb, 2012 – Infor, a leading provider of business application software serving more than 70,000 customers, today announced that Infor Orbis was selected as a Leader in the 2013 Marketing Resource Management (MRM) Gartner Magic Quadrant for its MRM solution.1 The report evaluates vendors based on completeness of vision and ability to execute against key marketing resource management criteria.

Leaders in the MRM market demonstrate exemplary performance.  They deliver breadth and depth of integrated MRM functionality on large, enterprise-wide and global implementations that extend MRM across the marketing organization. Leaders successfully articulate business propositions that resonate with buyers.

“We believe this Leader placement further acknowledges our commitment to innovating within our MRM applications, especially post Orbis-acquisition, and underscores the effort our teams have put in, in terms of research & development and plans for continued overall integration of this technology into our Infor Epiphany suite of products in 2013,” said George Wright, senior vice president and general manager, CRM, Infor. “We are committed to staying in sync with what the industry demands, and will continue to use that knowledge to develop industry-leading tools our customers will need to remain successful marketers.”

Infor Orbis MRM enables marketers to maximize their return on marketing investment by providing exceptional visibility and collaboration amongst marketing teams, while also increasing brand control and speed to market. Orbis Global, which was recently acquired by Infor, has been positioned in the Leaders quadrant now for two consecutive years.
