In a prepared statement, Jeff Abbott, SVP of global alliances and channels, said the company "is confident the new terms remain competitive with industry standards. At the same time, Infor will provide greater opportunity for partners to capitalize on Infor's license growth, which is significantly outpacing the market, with new partner commission accelerators." I have reports that some margins will be as low as single digit  percentages. Apparently, this was a high-level decision in which Infor, after carefully building a channel over the last two years, wants to boost its results in hope of going public. Infor says it signed 43 American VARs in 2013 among 163 worldwide. Could be some very short-term relationships. A report from the Information Technology Alliance Spring Collaborative conference underway this week said Infor VARs among its attendees are "all deciding which products they'll pick up to replace Infor." This is not just the usual grousing of the channel about margins--this is about business people screaming in pain.
