Message From Jim Schaper:

Many of us have been watching in stunned disbelief as Haiti struggles with the devastation of Tuesday’s earthquake. The images from Haiti are heartbreaking, and this is a time when personal and business interests become a distant priority as we reach out to help our fellow citizens.

On behalf of each of us at Infor, we are making a donation to the American Red Cross. We are also encouraging others to donate by including a prominent banner on our website (www.Infor.com).

We will be suspending our “Down With Big ERP” ads in the Wall Street Journal next week and replacing them with sponsored ads that simply say “Help Haiti.” Where feasible, we will replace online advertising with ads encouraging people to donate to relief efforts.

While this is a large scale and catastrophic disaster, it is also one that affects Infor and our customers specifically. We have approximately 20 customers in Haiti. Most are either infrastructure providers (telecommunication companies, cellular carriers, hotels, etc.) or major relief organizations, including the United Nations, Habitat for Humanity, and Save the Children. These customers are part of the Infor family and we are working through their home country organizations to do all we can to help.

I’ve heard that many Infor employees are volunteering and donating to the Haiti relief effort, which is a great testament to the quality of our employees. Thank you! If you’d like to donate to the American Red Cross, please visit www.redcross.org, or donate to your preferred organization
