1 TM Infor Consulting Services Value delivered

2 Infor Consulting Services delivers value Get the most value from your enterprise software investment At the beginning of a software selection cycle, you are most concerned with: Functionality: What does the standard solution provide? Implementation: How will the service provider get us live? Technology: Will the vendor s technology platform remain viable for the next 2, 5, or 10 years? Price: What solution is the easiest to deploy, delivering the lowest total cost of ownership? Culture: Do our people and the service provider s people understand each other, so that, as a team, they can deploy a new solution or conduct an upgrade project quickly and efficiently? 2

3 Once you have made your selection and have executed your upgrade or implementation project, how do you evaluate the success of the entire investment? We believe it s pretty simple. Success means getting up and live as quickly as possible, seeing a fast return on investment, and delivering software your employees love.

8 We were able to rectify the shortcomings of the old item coding structure by going through the migration with the migration toolkit. As a result, about 9,000 item codes were deactivated, and 9,000 more were brought into the Infor LN system. Everything went exactly as it was supposed to. The migrated orders tied to the units, and the general ledger tied to the penny. I was very impressed with that. The combined companies also had total inventory on hand consisting of approximately 70 million units numbered with item lots and location. It all migrated successfully, too.
