The awards recognize DRI as Infor’s top-performing partner for new cloud enterprise resource planning (ERP) sales and customer cloud ERP upgrades. The Partner of the Year awards recognize global Infor partners that have demonstrated excellence over the past fiscal year. DRI’s dual win is a testament to its unwavering dedication to client satisfaction, technological and manufacturing expertise, and business acumen.

“DRI is honored and gratified to be recognized as Infor’s 2023 Cloud Partner of the Year and Cloud Upgrade Partner of the Year,” said Bill Titus, president of DRI. “Our success stems from three factors: our early adoption of and close collaboration with Infor’s CloudSuite strategy, our teams’ dedication to unlocking additional value for our cloud clients through mastering new techniques, and our client-centric approach that allows us to foster collaboration and tailor ERP improvement plans specific to each company’s unique needs.”

A YEAR OF GROWTH & INNOVATION

Over the past year, DRI has demonstrated remarkable growth and innovation fueled by strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing client satisfaction and expanding its solutions and services. These efforts have been pivotal in driving DRI’s success and have culminated in this recognition from Infor. Among those key initiatives are:

  • Client Satisfaction: DRI launched a dedicated Client Success Team focused on providing personalized support and ensuring maximum value for clients.
  • Expansion of Services and Solutions: The acquisition of AIT Business Services has bolstered DRI’s capabilities, enabling a broader range of solutions, services, and geographical support.
  • New Product Offerings: DRI continues to enrich its product portfolio, including the launch of its AI practice, to deliver tailored solutions to meet the evolving needs of manufacturers throughout the U.S. and Canada.

EMBRACING BEST PRACTICES IN BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY

From the onset, DRI has been a proponent of cloud adoption, emphasizing benefits such as enhanced security, cost savings, and improved scalability. As a result, DRI customers were among the first to embrace cloud migration, and the company has migrated more customers to the cloud than any other Infor partner.

“DRI has consistently demonstrated a commitment to advancing cloud technologies and driving customer success,” said Salena Butler, Infor senior vice president and channel chief. “Their recognition as both the 2023 Infor Cloud Partner of the Year and 2023 Infor Cloud Upgrade Partner of the Year underscores their pivotal role in driving innovation within the manufacturing industry.”

CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES

A standout example of client success comes from DRI customer Oliver Packaging. Oliver was the first to upgrade to SyteLine version 10 in the cloud and continues to lead the way in adopting emerging technologies, such as AI. Utilizing Infor Coleman AI, Oliver efficiently managed shifting demand patterns, ensuring delivery of the right products at the right time. This AI integration enabled them to optimize inventory 30 times faster and identify $1.3 million in variance in just two months.

The Oliver success story not only showcases DRI’s ability to leverage pioneering technologies, but also exemplifies the company’s broader strategic initiatives that have culminated in its two Partner of the Year awards. Those initiatives, including enhancing client satisfaction and expanding offerings, have been instrumental in DRI’s growth and success. As DRI continues to embrace best practices in business and technology, it remains dedicated to fostering collaboration, tailoring solutions, and delivering tangible value to its clients.
