How Filling the “Value Void” Happens

in U.S. Manufacturing

This Quarter’s Focus

Issue #1 | Spring 2025

Powered by SolutionsX with Infor CloudSuite Industrial

As David Trout, our President, puts it: “You don’t need more software, you need systems that actually solve problems.”

That’s where we come in.

At SolutionsX, we help manufacturers operationalize these vectors through CloudSuite Industrial, so that ERP becomes a performance engine, not a digital filing cabinet.

Across U.S. manufacturing, the pressure to deliver productivity gains has never been greater. But despite years of tech investment, most organizations still struggle to realize ROI. Infor calls this the value void, the widening gap between potential and performance.

A global study of 500 industrial manufacturing leaders reveals what separates the most productive organizations: they’re using ERP to fundamentally transform how they work, not just modernize what they already do.
