NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 02/13/13 -- Infor, a leading provider of business application software serving more than 70,000 customers, today announced the Infor Energy Performance Management module to provide a top down view of energy consumption. The enhancement originated from Infor's acquisition of ENXSuite, a cloud-based energy performance management platform, in October 2011. The Infor Energy Performance Management module generates a high-level overview of energy consumption to help customers manage energy costs and regulate sustainable corporate policy.

News Points

• Infor Energy Performance Management offers users a comprehensive view of energy consumption, allowing corporate policymakers to determine the success of energy conservation initiatives and identify their organization's carbon footprint. The module also provides a bottom up view when integrated with existing Infor EAM solutions to deliver insight into individual asset behaviors.
• The solution establishes a centralized system that is capable of tracking both qualitative and quantitative metrics for energy consumption. This level of visibility allows businesses to justify asset management decisions, including replacements and upgrades, by projecting specific dollar savings amounts.
• Infor Energy Performance Management generates numerous automatic alerts to notify users of energy inequalities that could degrade asset performance or when consumption has exceeded established monthly peak demand consumption. Alerts are also distributed to notify employees about potential billing problems like missing utility invoices.
• The solution incorporates utility bill data from energy providers, enabling businesses to monetize the energy consumed by a given asset to determine its level of performance.
