According to Sutton Tools, the aim of the upgrade was to:

• Improve business IT uptime
• Reduce the effort required to upgrade an on-premise system
• Take advantage of modern, continually upgraded cloud service features
• Centralise its growing number of operational sites and existing third-party cloud-based services
• Make it easier to integrate with third-party applications

"The primary benefits of the upgrade have been improvements in excellent business uptime reliability, the most pleasing aspect of the project. The savings (of $100,000s) have been significant," said Peter Sutton, managing director at Sutton Tools. "One of the most important contributions to our success is our ongoing reinvestment into the business – through research and development, our manufacturing processes, and the underlying technology stack."

According to Sutton, the project "well surpassed our expectations. The efficiencies alone and to also be able to leverage Infor Mongoose and Infor ION across the business, allowed us to re-focus on the actual software than the hardware."

"The readiness assessment was an invaluable part of the process. It highlighted functionality we would gain with the project, but more importantly identified areas for some quick wins.

"Employees adapted very quickly ... I can be anywhere in the world and I'm up and running with full oversight of the company operations. During Covid, the ease of (remote) access has been invaluable," he said.

The transition to the cloud has delivered company-wide benefits beyond cost savings. Automatic upgrades to the platform had reduced stress on the company's IT team, who could focus on business and productivity-improving tasks. Infor M3 CloudSuite for manufacturing provided easier access for employees and additional oversight for management.

Infor M3 CloudSuite for manufacturing has a proven, global track record for helping customers uncover a single source of truth in their operations, drive customer success and maintain reliable business uptime 24/7, all year round.

"With Infor, Sutton Tools have found the best enterprise-grade cloud solution that's purpose-built for its state-of-the-art production processes to consistently deliver supply chain excellence and drive business success into the future."
