Infor LN contains a fully integrated modeling tool that allows graphical presentation of business processes and includes functions allowing fast and efficient implementation with multiple supported localities and simplifying selection and parameterization of business processes with automatic application setting. Important factor is that from the very beginning of the implementation all processes are visually fully documented and possible later changes or improvements can therefore be carried out very quickly. Workflow is part of the integration. Reference models for various discrete or hybrid production types are part of the offer.

Infor LN supports all discrete production methods and types known including the project-based production, make-to-order production and assembly, make-to-stock production, repetitive production and assembly-line production of highly configurable small quantities. JIT, serialization and lot control and lot tracing features are supported. Infor LN offers the Leanware production concept.

Infor LN supports company-level or group-level processing of financial and logistics transactions. Various inter-company arrangement scenarios can be defined in the system. Depending on the scenarios used, the system generates automatic inter-company transactions and allows sharing of the selected data in all companies of a group. Working from multiple localities is supported.

A new thin client-based web interface that fully supports transaction processing offers adjustable user profiles and individually adjustable layouts of particular sessions, and easy-to-handle information and record filtering functions. This user interface brings fewer windows, less clicking, and is user-friendly. The webtop uses a standard web viewer, which does not require any installation on the client PC part. Other desktop applications can also easily be integrated in the webtop user interface, which makes this interface a main tool for the user. A fully contextual and user-adjustable XML-based help system is available.

New extended functionality offers simplified and slimmed processes and procedures. Using flexible step linking, particular business processes can efficiently be automated. The work requires fewer screens, less clicking and entering fewer sessions. Fully personalized screens and dashboard-type sessions that provide aggregated information from key IS areas are available.
Dashboard screens act as a common point of access to a number of sessions using which planners, purchasers, production supervisors, salesmen, economists and servicemen can easily control their processes. An advantage of the dashboard screens is that they display only relevant information, and it is indicated whether detailed information is available. This concept significantly reduces time losses due to seeking the required information.

Used hardware, operating systems and databases are application independent, and make up a reliable and powerful server platform. There is central user administration and management. The authorization system allows administration by user role or by user at the session/table/table item level. The Infor LN system administration tool, Enterprise Server, offers mechanisms for change control by means of table change audits, profile change audits and security record checks. The system is Sarbannes-Oxley compliant.

Full integration with MS Office products is available. For the cooperation with other applications there is the Infor Technology Architecture open platform with the Infor Open World interface available, using SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, JDBC, Java and other established standards. In the communication area, models B2B or B2C for EDI, EDIFACT, ODETTE, Corba, XML and other standards are available.
