Phillips told ComputerworldUK that there hasn't been enough demand for Windows on mobile for Infor to justify investing in Microsoft's tablet ecosystem - at the moment.

"We have not developed for the Windows 8 tablet. We have talked about that as a possible direction, but we have made no commitment to do that yet," said Phillips.

"We looked at it and Microsoft did come to see us. It is certainly an evolutionary platform, but I'm not sure it's a big enough leap for people to switch from iPads."

Infor currently supports applications for iOS on the iPad.

When asked if Phillips was waiting to see what uptake was like for the Surface tablet in the enterprise, he replied 'Yes'.
