Small and medium enterprises sector in India has a great potential and this sector has been managing growth despite various economic disturbances. But it also noteworthy that SMEs sector is still not performing up to their potential. There many reasons behind the situation. Majority of them are related to the resource management and their traditional approaches to the business operations. Many SMEs are being run by their proprietors or founders, where they are handling all the tasks at their own
Understanding the situation and noticing the potential in the SMEs sector many information and management solution providers are launching various resource management solutions. Infor Global Solutions Pvt. Ltd is the world leader when we talk about the business software that makes SMEs better by building, acquiring and improving some of the best enterprise solutions in the business.

Souma Das, VP Sales and Managing Director, Infor, India in a brief interaction with SME WORLD discussed about the solutions for SMEs that enable them for better functioning of their business.
It is general perception coming from the SMEs segment that almost 90 per of the total solutions being offered to SMEs for their better working are either too complex for SMEs to effectively operate or they are unaffordable. How do Infor solutions stand apart?
