Kathy Barthelt 0 7831 Article rating: 5.0

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Did you know that you can set up one-time vendors in LX? One Time Vendor (1,A): Specify Y to indicate that this vendor is a one-time vendor. Otherwise, could you specify N.

Tips: LN | Baan

Crossroads RMC

“Sorry, boss. We can’t help you move the business forward.”

Infor LX | BPCS | Infor LN | Baan

Imagine saying that to your boss, or the president of your company. What would their response be? Do you think that he or she would say, “It’s ok, we can wait to implement this big initiative that will likely save us a ton of money and move us ahead of the competition... No problem… let me know when you have time to work on it.”  Pretty unlikely. They want you to add something else to the top of your already overloaded to-do list. Am I right? 

Well, you do it, because it is the right thing to do and is important to the business, but what happens to everything else that you were SUPPOSED to be working on? Those tasks end up sitting on your to-do list... forever.  

What if they didn’t have to? What if you could pivot to work on highly important projects that drive your business forward and all the while continue to address the lower priority items that STILL need to get done? You can do this with outsourced IT and ERP support services.

As you know, the management of ERP systems is fairly complex and time-consuming, and you always need to be one step ahead to identify, prevent and resolve issues before they become a problem. Can you really afford to abandon this work in lieu of something else?

Crossroads RMC offers a full range of support services to provide 24 X 7 X 365 coverage to handle the most challenging of support issues down to the most mundane. We handle everything from installing software updates to maintaining highly customized environments to determining the source of a financial integration error, to figuring out why the items you just produced are not accurately reflected in inventory.

You name it, we can tackle it. 38 years of working with manufacturers and Infor ERP systems say we can, and so do our customers.
