Infor is planning to offer customers a cloud-based data warehouse and analytics platform based on its own ION and Business Vault technology as well as Amazon’s Redshift service.

Code-named “Sky Vault,” the project is now in the works, said Ali Shadman, senior vice president of business cloud and Upgrade/S at Infor.

Infor’s Business Vault technology uses XML documents to store transaction data from both Infor and non-Infor applications, allowing customers to generate analytics and reports. Infor has also developed a number of industry-focused reports and dashboards on top of Business Vault.

The same general idea will apply with Sky Vault, according to Shadman. Infor wanted to give customers a cloud-based option for analytics, in part due to the cloud’s ability to easily scale workloads up and down according to demand.
