Connect, centralize, and scale enterprise-grade analytics with patented Networked BI technology.
Infor Birst is a sophisticated, multi-tenant cloud Business Intelligence (BI) and analytics platform designed to bridge the gap between decentralized departmental analysis and centralized corporate governance. At its core, Birst utilizes a patented 'Networked BI' architecture that creates a shared version of the truth through a network of virtualized BI instances. By 2026, Infor Birst has solidified its position as the premier analytics engine for Infor's CloudSuite ERP ecosystem, leveraging the Infor Coleman AI platform for advanced natural language processing (NLP) and automated insight generation. Technically, Birst stands out for its Automated Data Refinement (ADR) capabilities, which automate the extraction, loading, and transformation (ELT) processes from diverse sources—including on-premise databases, cloud applications, and unstructured data—into a unified semantic layer. This architecture eliminates the traditional data silo bottleneck, allowing business units to maintain agility while ensuring data consistency across the enterprise. Its 2026 market positioning focuses on 'Actionable Intelligence,' where analytics are embedded directly into operational workflows, enabling real-time decision-making within the ERP interface rather than requiring a separate dashboard environment.
