how Small Businesses Can Attain Affordable help To maximize Their Lawson Environment

Every company that uses the lawson ERP is looking for ways to improve the system, or to get more out of the system, and for ways to find the most cost-effective consulting and independant services possible.  This can become a more difficult problem when a company is on the smaller side.

This is due to several factors, including budgetary restraints, lack of qualified personnel and time.  That is one area where we focus.  So I thought i'd briefly list a few key areas where hiring a consulting firm can not only help a small business leverage it's Infor Lawson ERP, but do so in a timely and affordable way.

1.ProcessFlow integrator - this is a very powerful module released by lawson that allows a company to streamline it's flow of information as well as integrate the ERP with 3rd party software.

2.Virtual System Administrator - Some smaller companies don't have the resources to sustain a full-time System Administrator on staff.  But the job is still needed.  Because of the network capabilities of the application, a virtual monitoring can be set up with a qualified consulting firm that allows the small business to have remote monitoring, upgrading and problem solving services rendered at a fraction of the cost of bringing in a specialist for every single issue.

3.On-site training workshops - In order to keep the staff up to date and the system running properly, constant training is required.  The standard is to send staff members to a remote class, thus incurring the costs of training, travel, lodging and other expenses.  by bringing in a qualified Lawson trainer, a company can save large amounts of money, time and efficiency as well as gaining in a higher level of knowledge retention.

4.Routine checkups - Even if the Lawson system is running okay right now, it can be a good idea to do a system-wide evaluation every now and then.  This helps streamline processes, uncover any hidden or impending issues, as well as gives the company an opprotunity to ensure their overall system health is in good shape.

Just a couple of quick ideas.  These are powerful methods for smaller firms to improve and enhance their all-important ERP system without breaking their banks.
