Hello, We are currently reviewing bids for Implementation services for the move to version 10 for our procurement suite and also to move our mainframe based HR/Payroll and General Ledger apps to Lawson(Infor). The four companies are Lawson, Ciber, RPI/Aster and Xerox. Any information as to your experience with these companies would be helpful in making a decision on which one to use. Also, any information with Lawson's Quick Step and if it was useful or not. Thank you.

Our company is currently using Lawson 9.0.1 S3 we used Lawson 9 for around 2 years before we jumped to Lawson 9.0.1 Does anyone know how long will infor support our current version before we HAVE to upgrade so they will continue to support us Is there are fixed time frame or it varies from version to version

I have experience on working on Lawson 7.x, 8.x and 9.x versions of Lawson. I haven't had an opportunity to work on Landmark. I am mostly a technical developer and have experience on 4GL, case tools, bit javascript, process flow and little bit of design studio. I have the following queries. 1) What language they are using in New modules of Landmark (Is it pure java or some propriety language which they have developed) I heard that HR and PR are still on Lawson 4GL 2) Is is ea...

As part of our original implementation of Lawson our goal was to enable all project managers - even those with small programs - to go into Lawson and inquire on their finances. Projects with multiple funding sources are set up in the grant module. Recently we learned that just inquiring on their project will require licenses to two different Lawson modules - FINPRO and GMP. We are considering changing our structure so only those that set up and maintain grants have access. Has anyone else de...

I've been working with Lawson just over a year and am still very green. I am looking for example Microsoft Project Plans, specifically related to Supply Chain, Accounting, Human Resource implementations, upgrades, additions, etc. Anyone know where I could find some examples out there Thanks!

Which one is more dominant (having more customers) LSF on Windows OR LSF on UNIX. Can someone list Pros & Cons of both. I never had a chance to work on LSF on WIndows. Thank You ! - Vijay

Infor states that they will not support Windows 10 until October of 2016. Have other organizations taken advantage of the free upgrade and have you experienced any incompatibilities with INFOR GHR and S3

Will there be LSF 11 in near Future OR LSF 10 will be the last version which Infor has released. Will INFOR be completely moving towards LANDMARK in near future Thank You ! Vijay

Has Lawson/Infor been certified on Java 1.8 I am looking at a lot of posts and other bits of Google-Fu that say 1.7 is the max, but I can not find any specific Lawson documentation on their compatibility. Any help would be appreciated Chris

I have links to the objects like the tables for older versions of Lawson, but I need to find a link to the version 10 tables. Does one exist somewhere on this site The link for a previous version (9) that I have is: https://www.lawsonguru.com/GuruContent/datadict/90/tables/index.html I would love to find the same information for Lawson 10. Thanks in advance! Tim

Anyone planning to attend TechEd next month

We have recently upgraded to LSF 10 and LMK 11. We used to be able to copy our production data to our DR data, make a few adjustments and bring up the systems. Infor is telling us that it is impossible now. Their solution would take 48 hours and to test we would need to shutdown our production system. Seems extreme. I am interested in what other do for their disaster recovery process.

We have been in contact with infor and have done a solid dive on the web to see about finding a connection string that will allow these 2 applications to communicate and we have had no such luck. We are using the same string we used with Access 2016 and Windows 8. Now that we are using machines that are Windows 10, the same string is no longer working. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, any advice on how to fix this issue The following attachments show the connection string that we ar...

Hi, I'm new to the Lawson environment and am trying to identify learning resources so I can gain proficient knowledge of the platform. My co-workers have been very helpful but I want to learn as much as possible on my own. My role is a Technical Application Engineer. Therefore, I'm interested in learning the technical side, not the functional side. Although, I do need to know the basics of the user facing application in order to assist users. I have years of previous technical experience as ...

Hi gurus! Wondering if anyone has clarity on when maintream maintenance, i.e., standard support will go away for Infor v10. Our current contract is till 2022, and I'm wondering how hard we need to think about version 11 Also, I imagine that if there is standard support, there is non-standard support, and I'm curious what is the premium on that Thanks.

We have legacy systems that sends huge volumes of journals monthly in CSV format. While this was a breeze in COBOL the performance is awful when trying to load via IPA or ION. What is the recommended alternative Infor pushes us to use ION but it seems to be awful. We are migrating to a cloud version.
