Hyderabad, Sept 29:

Infor, the US-based business application software solutions company, has opened Infor Dynamic Science Labs, an internal organisation. The lab would help the firm infuse machine-learning and big data analytics into its applications.

The lab is headed by Ziad Nejmeldeen, a software veteran with a PhD from The Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Based in Cambridge (the US), the team work with scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and economists.

Applications will go beyond collecting, reporting, and distributing information, they anticipate problems and respond with solutions, an Infor statement said here on Monday.

Infor has a development centre in Hyderabad.

We currently have two applications that deliver science-powered smart data its revenue management system that optimises 350,000 hotel rooms a day and its talent science application that has conducted behavioral assessments for 11 per cent of the US workforce, it said.
