Disconnected systems don’t just create inefficiencies, they limit visibility, increase risk, and slow growth.

Across Infor LN/Baan and LX/BPCS environments, we help manufacturers connect their ERP with key business platforms so data flows accurately and in real time.

Quick Insight

Integration challenges are rarely about tools, they’re about how systems are connected and how data flows between them. When integration is built around your ERP, it creates a reliable foundation for efficiency, visibility, and scalability.

Real-World Example

A leading U.S. based pharmaceutical manufacturer needed to connect their Infor ERP with external platforms to eliminate manual processes and support growing volume.

Crossroads RMC implemented an ION-based integration that automated data exchange and created a secure, bi-directional flow of information.

The result:

• Eliminated high-volume manual entry
• Reduced errors and improved accuracy
• Increased visibility into key processes
• Enabled scalable growth without adding resources

Why this matters

Many integration challenges come from systems that don’t communicate effectively. Data is often duplicated, delayed, or manually transferred between applications, creating inefficiencies and limiting visibility.

What this solves

Infor ION provides a structured way to connect applications and enable consistent data flow across your environment, helping reduce manual processes and improve how information is shared.

How it works

Infor ION acts as a central integration layer, allowing systems to communicate using standardized messages.

In Infor LN, ION is natively integrated, enabling streamlined data exchange across applications.
In Infor LX environments, ION can be used as part of an integration strategy to connect ERP with external systems and platforms.

The calendar has turned to 2026, and for Infor Baan and LN users, the roadmap ahead is more critical than ever. As we move closer to the end-of-decade legacy milestones, the status quo is no longer a viable strategy for your mission-critical operations.

What is your 2026 ERP Roadmap?

Think of your ERP strategy as a high-stakes navigation system. Without a clear plan, you risk stalling your business growth, falling behind on automation, and facing the "performance debt" of aging systems.

As you kick off the new year, ask yourself:

• Does our legacy setup align with our 2026-2030 growth targets?
• Are we leveraging AI and automation, or are we stuck in manual, time-consuming workflows?
• Is our team fully trained on the latest features, or are we losing data integrity through "workarounds"?
