does your Infor Lawson ERP system have a clean bill of health?

I think we'd all agree that your Infor Lawson enterprise resource planning software environment is extremely complex.  Not only is it a large integrated application suite, but it's vital to the performance of your company.

The truth of the matter is, the more complex a system is, the more the need arises for regular maintenance, or checkups, if you will.  Just as your car needs a tune up now and then, and you go to your doctor for an annual or semi-annual physical, so your Lawson system also needs a regular inspection to ensure it's running smoothly and effectively.

Perhaps out of these three examples, the ERP is in the greatest need of a regular checkup.  When you consider how much is riding on it, and how far-reaching it might be.  with multiple departments  and multiple locations accessing the system, not to mention the cloud, there is a tremendous  amount of data being manipulated.  Additionally, with frequent service packs, upgrades , patches and new versions being installed, it's easy to see how a complex system like your Lawson ERP can become bogged down, under-powered or even outright "sick."

So no matter what your circumstances, it's never a bad idea to bring in a consultant to give the system a look see.  Even just a cursory examination can reveal unseen issues or issues that may become critical at some point in the near future.  As much as you rely on your Infor Lawson suite, it's vital to make sure it's healthy and doing the job you require of it.
