Infor to share insights for successful transformation in manufacturing and distribution at Summit in Jeddah

JEDDAH, KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA – Infor®, the industry cloud company, will share insights on how organizations in Saudi Arabia’s manufacturing and distribution sectors can maximize their digital transformation efforts, and become truly sustainable digital operations, at an Infor Industry Day titled ‘Discover the Future of Smarter Manufacturing and Distribution’ in Jeddah on May 23.

This topic is particularly important in Saudi Arabia, where the government is encouraging economic diversification and is keen to develop sectors including manufacturing and distribution as part of its Saudi Vision 2030. Indeed, the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP) aims to transform Saudi Arabia into an industrial powerhouse and a global logistics hub, including unlocking the full potential of local content and the 4th Industrial Revolution.

The event, which is being held in partnership with IDC, a leading global provider of information technology analysis, advice and services, aims to help equip manufacturers and distributors in Saudi Arabia with the knowledge they need to embrace successful and sustainable digitization solutions. This is significant as, according to a recent IDC Info Brief commissioned by Infor, although 71% of MEA manufacturers say they are pursuing a digital-first approach to business, 64% are still using spreadsheets and standalone applications
