Infor, a leading provider of beautiful business applications specialized by industry and built for the cloud, today announced that two Infor Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) products won Gold Awards in Plant Engineering’s 2015 Product of the Year Awards. Winners were announced on Monday, March 21, at the annual Engineering Awards in Manufacturing dinner hosted by CFE Media.

Infor CloudSuite Facilities Management was the winner of the Grand Award, an accolade that recognizes the product with the most individual votes among all products voted on in the competition this year. This product suite is designed to help customers reduce inefficiencies, costly maintenance requirements, and missed business opportunities by delivering greater asset visibility to help streamline core processes. It is a solution that includes a core enterprise asset management system combined with enhanced extension applications—all delivered in the cloud.

Additionally, Infor EAM Energy Performance Management was presented with the Gold Award in the Energy Management category. This module is designed to help organizations stay competitive and better understand the energy behind asset management. The latest version of the module includes capabilities for establishing enterprise energy policy and programs, setting targets and objectives, and managing the deployment, asset performance, energy efficiency, and maintenance of company assets. These capabilities can help prevent operational surprises and uncover hidden profits.

Plant Engineering's Product of the Year program is the premier award for new products in the manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries. The annual reader-choice program provides Plant Engineering's audience with information about the top new product in their fields.
