Testimonials

“Having attended multiple inPOWER events over the years, I find inPOWER to be a great opportunity to further build relationships with key Infor team members and to provide input into the future direction of the software that is key to our business.”

“If one is serious about learning how to maximize their company’s investment in Infor LX and/or to extend the life of their ERP, then inPOWER is a great opportunity to not only learn from Infor team members but also other customers.  It is great to hear how others have started to leverage the many new features and functionality to not only move beyond the green screen but also to eliminate base code modifications.” READ MORE...

Presenters: Dr. Doug Fisher
We're nearly three years since ‘15-days-to-flatten-the-curve’ – and we are far from done. Fixing the ports will not fix the problem. Get ready for decades of supply chain opportunity. Foundations of long complex supply chains built in pursuit of low-cost labor are under focused review – challenged by increased frequency of disruptions, scarce and increasingly expensive labor, challenging economic stresses, challenging adoption of new technologies, enhanced sustainability pressures and increasing geo-political risks. And, the alternatives to legacy supply chains are likely to cause tension with legacy financial metrics of low cost. Facing economic, technology and political undercurrents, the next twenty to thirty years will be an exciting time to be in supply chain management – if you like challenges. The moves companies make in the near term could account for major differences in performance over the next business cycle.

Room: Woodland B Presenters: Tom McDonald. MK Associates
Is your XA system under attack?  “The grass is greener on the other side.”  That is the belief of most companies who want to change ERP systems. But, is the grass truly greener?  What are the real benefits (if any)? How much money will the company save? What are the real costs?  Changing systems is a VERY COSTLY “solution” to problems that might not even warrant the troubles that are common when changing systems.  Not only is changing ERP systems very expensive in terms of software and outside services, but there are huge costs because of disruptions to the business.   Use a process and business case to show that XA is a value to the company. There is likely a clear business case to keep and/or update XA, in which case you may have just saved your company well over a MILLION dollars.

Offline load was the traditional method of importing customer orders and updating XA. It has been used and relied upon since System 34 MAPICS.

Faced with this challenge, Lexel successfully converted the proven COM_Net2 order update architecture to use Systemlink and has never looked back. Thousands of orders per day are seamlessly sent to XA with this method. This session will outline the points that must be considered to successfully use this new and exciting tool.

No auxiliary Windows servers needed, and you leverage the security and performance of the IBM server. Traditional green screen XA functions are brought forward, as well as your internally developed green screen functions.
