David Fichtinger:
The Infor OS Experience: One Place to Get Work Done
Wednesday 9:15am- 10:30am- Lapham 2
Speakers: David Fichtinger
Desc. The starting point — and the session for anyone who has never seen Infor OS. In plain terms, Infor OS is a single modern layer that sits over your ERP and ties everything together. This session focuses on the part your people touch every day: the experience. Role-based Homepages and Workspaces put the tasks, data, and alerts each person needs on one screen; Ming.le keeps conversations and approvals attached to the work; and Infor Go carries it to a phone or tablet on the floor. Instead of jumping between green screens, spreadsheets, and email, your team works from one connected place — and every session that follows plugs into this experience.

Connect & Automate: Let the System Do the Busywork
Speakers: David Fichtinger
Wednesday, 10:45-12:00pm Lapham 2
Desc. Most wasted time lives in the gaps between systems and steps — re-keying data, chasing approvals, watching for exceptions. This session shows how Infor OS closes those gaps with ION: connecting your ERP to the other systems it needs to talk to, and automating the repeatable process flows on top. We keep it about the outcome — a purchase-order approval that routes itself, an alert that reaches the right person when something needs attention, a hand-off that simply happens — rather than the plumbing underneath. It is the connective tissue that turns the single experience from Session 1 into moving, automated business processes.

Documents & Content: Stop Losing the Paperwork
Speaker: Jessica Melger, Infor, David Fichtinger, TriMin
Wednesday, 2:00-3:15pm - Lapham 2
Desc. Every process runs on documents — POs, invoices, drawings, certs, quality records — and every business loses time hunting for them or reconciling versions. Infor Document Management (IDM) gives those documents one home: captured automatically, attached to the right transaction, versioned, secured, and found in seconds. This session is about the everyday relief: no more shared drives and email attachments, faster approvals, and audit-ready records when you need them. And it connects to the rest — documents surface right inside the Workspaces from Session 1 and travel along the workflows from Session 2.

Data, Insight & AI: Decisions from What You Already Have
Speaker: Jessica Melger, Infor, David Fichtinger, TriMin
Wednesday, 3:30-4:45pm- Lapham 2
Desc. The payoff of a connected operating layer is that your data lands in one place and can finally answer questions. This session shows how Infor OS turns everyday activity into insight — a data foundation (Data Fabric and the Data Lake) that collects it, dashboards and analytics that make KPIs visible to the people who own them, and embedded intelligence that surfaces what needs attention. We keep it outcome-first: see performance at a glance, spot problems earlier, and measure whether the improvements from the first three sessions are actually working. For the deeper AI, automation, and machine-learning story, we point to the Velocity Suite path.

See you there!

Are you tired of the manual activity needed to update your prices in XA?

Are you tired of the manual activity needed to update your prices in XA? Do you need a better way to interrogate your pricing across multiple XA price books? TriMin’s Price Book Upload for XA can help! This IDF toolset allows you to export your price books and base pricing to Excel, manipulate them and upload them back to XA with new effectivity dates without any assistance from I.T. Our solution  Read more...supports the most common pricing used in XA (Price Book Base Price, Quantity Price Break Amounts & Item Revision Base Price) and can also create price lists for distribution to your customers.

This toolset is ideal for companies who are still using legacy off-line load of prices in XA, will eliminate the need to manually key new pricing and help you avoid the errors that can happen in that process. Since the exported data is in Excel you can leverage it to perform calculations and use formulas to do adjustments!

[Watch Video] Webinar: Excess & Obsolete Inventory Analyzer

Do you have inventory bloat from supply chain problems? Do you need a way to calculate an accurate value of your existing inventory based on recent usage and current demand?

Our IDF-based functions can import into your environment and provide an audit trail for utility, usage, and customer demand down to the component level – helping you find excess & obsolete items and help identify the planning  Read more...practices that might have contributed to the problem.

Speaker Name: Kevin Gerard, Solution Architect

Bio: I have been in I.T. about 4 decades, and worked with Mapics and Infor/XA during that time in a variety of rolls, including development, project lead, I.T. Management and now a Solution Architect with TriMin. For the last 20 years my focus has been all the new development tools from Infor and IDF including heavy use of Enterprise Integrator, System Link, and other functional components.

I help our customers deploy XA and promote the new technology to solve business problems and also fill gaps where standard XA does not solve. My focus is supply chain, planning, inventory management, procurement and shipping. I also have extensive experience with Xalt (Catavolt) technology and deploying mobile apps over XA

Overview

TriMin’s E&O Analyzer provides an easy way to calculate and estimate the value of your inventory including surplus, excess and obsolete. It gives you complete visibility to where the product is used, including what customer(s) will consume the existing inventory based on open XA orders.

The E&O Analyzer “allocates” inventory based on time-phased demand to determine what will be consumed. Inventory is allocated from the top down, so sub-assemblies are also used if in stock. The order backlog is reviewed based on user defined periods.

The result is a summary of each item on-hand, showing both current and future allocation, and identifies the remaining products that have no planned usage or chance of being used based on current demand and sales history.

Features

- Aging buckets configurable by the user (orders due 6 months out, a year, etc.)
- Extract sales summary and tag the item(s) based on which customer used it, not just the top level but component level.
- Provides a clean, formatted view of each end-item bill, showing the inventory on- hand that will be consumed to build the product.
- Can be exported to Excel or consumed by BI tools such as BIRST.
- Written in modern SQLRPGLE, the E&O Analyzer creates audit trails that can be data mined as well as logs errors for easy trouble shooting.
- Customizable over time, by you or TriMin.

Business Needs

- Logically calculate inventory reserves that can be audited.
- Repeatable at any time (once a month).
- Ability to know how much inventory on-hand will be consumed based on a time-phased backlog.
- Can feed KPI's and other metrics to track inventory stocking levels and assist with cash flow.
- Need to identify slow and no-moving inventory using an intelligent tool that replicates what will be consumed.
- Gives drill down to the indented bills as well as easy identification of what customer(s) use the products (top level and components)
- Utilize all the standard features of IDF, including customizable views, filters, and workspaces.
