  • How Infor’s Coleman Strategy Is Evolving, and How IBM i Fits In

    November 20, 2019 Alex Woodie

    Coleman was unveiled by ERP software giant Infor in 2017 primarily as a digital assistant, which is a fancy way of saying a chatbot. Just as Siri and Alexa can answer questions about the weather or sports, Coleman could answer basic questions about the business, and even handle some …
