Infor LN Reviews

• User experience
• Ease of use
• Rich functionality

The process module needs improving as in Baan IV which had a module for customers in the processing industry, for example, paint manufacturing.

I've used it for over 18 years, in its various versions as Baan (from v4) and then ERP LN.

As expected every software will have its bugs, and the ones for this are -

• Q/A of the product is not up to expectations
• Users are forced to test the software during implementation

Once the bugs are fixed, product is quite stable.

The product is highly scalable but setup is a bit complicated. Once the parameters have been set, however, companies from five to 5,000 users can operate the product.

It's reasonable.

It's reasonable.

From the beginning I implemented it. Initially using a legacy mainframe application, Unis-1100 on a Unisys mainframe. I also implemented MTMS, a UK based Cobol based MRP2 software before moving onto Baan. From there, I have stayed with Baan/Infor and its various versions for the last 18 years,

Baan IV was straightforward but ERP LN became complex and the latest version is highly complicated.

I recently joined a company with heir own IT department, but prior to that I would implement ERP LN.

Much higher than that of SAP.

• It ranges on the size of the company and number of licenses
• Day to day cost is annual maintenance fees, functional analysts and technical developers to support the application in house
• Typically most companies have at least two resources to implement any ERP package
• ERP LN latest version requires at least 3 resources

When I was originally part of a consulting company, we evaluated three in 1997 -

• Baan (now Infor ERP)
• Oracle
• Made2Manage

Find the right implementation partner as there are many consultants who have no clue of the products functionality. Also, most of the implementation partners don’t take any ownership in implementation. You need to dedicate a group of users to the implementation, otherwise you will be spending lot of money on consultants.

• Ease of Use
• Ease of Development
• Bundled with a lot of capabilities

We spend less time analyzing the data with the easy reports and data management. Due to a simpler implementation style, not much time is taken for new developments.

Technology is a continuous improvement process. So as far as I know, Infor is going great with the technological advancements.

I've used it for three years.

No issues encountered.

None. If the users are trained properly there should not be any big issues. Also, Infor Support Service is an add-on.

None and it doesn't require a lot of investment for the server's and database.

8/10.

8/10.

I have worked with two firms. My previous firm used to have Tally ERP 9 which was their legacy system. But switching was necessary to cope up with the competitors in the market. With multi-site support and advanced reporting, Infor LN services are the best.

It was straightforward. Infor Implementation follows a process which goes through implementation, user training and deployment. It follows the SDLC model very well.

We implemented it through Infor's Implementation Partner who are 7/10.

I can't say as I am not a part of the management time, but more on the technical side. However, I am sure it would be good.

We also looked at SAP.

A simple piece of advice, "Infor is the future." Go for it!!
