Enterprise software solutions provider Infor Global Solutions says it has strengthened its discrete manufacturing portfolio with the acquisition of Lilly Software Associates, a Hampton, N.H.-based provider of enterprise and supply-chain solutions. Lilly Software will join Infor's discrete manufacturing group and continue to operate from its existing location. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Both Lilly Software and Atlanta-based Infor Global Solutions are privately held companies.
