Unlocking Potential: Why Connecting Outside Systems to Your Baan or Infor LN System is Crucial for Business Success

Kathy Barthelt 0 2227 Article rating: 5.0

In an era of rapid digital transformation, having a robust enterprise resource planning (ERP) system like Baan or Infor LN is a solid foundation. These systems are powerful data repositories and transaction engines. However, their true power is often limited when they operate in isolation.

Connecting your core ERP system to other, specialized applications—whether a customer relationship management (CRM) platform, an e-commerce site, a warehouse management system (WMS), or even a specialized QMS—is no longer a luxury; it's a strategic necessity. This integration transforms your ERP from a single source of truth into the central nervous system of your entire operation, enabling seamless data flow, improved decision-making, and enhanced efficiency.

Here’s a breakdown of the advantages, potential disadvantages, and what your business stands to gain.

The Major Advantages of System Integration

Connecting disparate systems offers a wealth of benefits that can fundamentally change how you operate:

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for TECHNOLOGY: Table Sharing with a Multi-Company Setup - Using a Master Data Company

Kathy Barthelt 0 3909 Article rating: 5.0

You can maintain all the master data, such as items, business partners, central purchase contracts, general ledger and related data in one company and share this data with the other companies. This master data company can be one of the operational companies, but you can also assign a separate company only to be used for the master data.

The advantages of having a separate master data company are:

  • Clarity: Having a single company as master data company is clear for all users.
  • Authorization: In general, only a few people in an enterprise can maintain the master data and, particularly for this maintenance, the authorization is important. If one dedicated master data company exists, you can use the company authorization to maintain this authorization very easily.

"Apologies, boss, but at the moment, we are unable to contribute to advancing the business."

Infor LX | BPCS | Infor LN | Baan

Imagine delivering this message to your boss or the company president. What would their response likely be? It's improbable that they would respond with, "That's perfectly fine; we can delay implementing this significant initiative that could potentially save us a substantial amount of money and give us a competitive edge. Please let us know when you have the availability to work on it." In reality, they would probably want you to add this new task to your already overflowing to-do list, wouldn't they?

Nonetheless, you'd probably comply because it's the responsible thing to do and it's crucial for the company. But what happens to all the other tasks you were initially supposed to work on? They end up lingering on your to-do list indefinitely.

But what if they didn't have to remain in limbo? What if you could shift your focus to critical projects that propel the business forward while still managing the lower-priority tasks that still need attention? This is where outsourced IT and ERP support services come into play.

Managing ERP systems is undeniably intricate and time-intensive, and staying ahead of issues to identify, prevent, and resolve them before they escalate is essential. Can you truly afford to set aside this critical work for something else?
