What Has Changed in The New SunSystems Cloud and Infor Q&A?

    Infor SunSystems, the powerful financial management solution, has recently undergone a major transformation with the launch of SunSystems Cloud, the first-ever multi-tenant, true SaaS version of the software.

    This shift to cloud-based technology has brought about several new features and improvements that are set to change the way accounting and finance professionals work.

    In this article, we explore some of the changes that have taken place with SunSystems Cloud and the new Infor Q&A (formerly Vision).

    There are now just two databases including:

    • one Business Unit group (database) for live data

    The Transfer Desk function and its associated components, which provide the ability to transfer data internally within a SunSystems database and to transfer data to and from external files, are now fully web enabled.
