# Infor Data Fabric

Information noteThis connector is deprecated, and cannot be used to create new tasks. Although deprecated, the connector remains fully supported, and tasks which are already using this connector will continue to work as usual. For new tasks, use the improved [Infor](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/DataIntegration/WebApplications/Connecting-Infor-Data-Fabric-Lake.htm) connector.

Infor Data Fabric centralizes common data requirements, development patterns, and tooling into a unified suite of tools. You can use Infor Data Fabric as a data source when landing or replicating data.
