It will also serve as a formal system training environment for BAE Systems' network analysts, operators, and engineers who will be installing and maintaining Infor products purchased by the U.S. government. "Our relationship with BAE Systems is truly unique because we will work with them on both the customer and partner level going forward," said Lynn Sauder, vice president of Global Alliances and Channels at Infor.
