We are currently implementing the commercial Infor PM (Performance Management) package as a business intelligence tool.

Infor PM website

It is apparently used by over 1,000 companies around the world, but I have found scant information about it on the net except for what's on their own website.

It covers the whole range of data warehousing and BI functions with:

  • an OLAP environment
  • an ETL tool
  • a report writer (called Application Studio)
  • an add-on to Excel to connect to the data in the cubes through a pivot table
  • etc

Does anyone have any experience with using this package? How does it compare to the big players in BI (Cognos, Microsoft SSAS, Business Objects, etc). Any pitfalls I should know about? On the other hand, does it do anything better than its competitors?
