Project Manager at a aerospace/defense firm with 10,001+ employees
Facilitates streamlined business processes and consolidation of divisions
The advantage of Infor LN is the ability to customize some sessions directly to what our business needs. It simplifies tracking by following every transaction in the system, allowing finance to see online each finance transaction from production orders, purchase orders, inventory, and project-wise. Infor LN helps consolidate divisions into one language, facilitating time and cost savings.
Carlos  Cardona - PeerSpot reviewer
Operations Manager at Visual K
Powerful accounting functionality, easy to implement, and same day support response
There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible. In a future release, if they could add a CRM incorporated into the core of the solution that would be awesome. Additionally, a more flexible project model. They have a project model, but it's very challenging to set up values.
