2026 is HERE: Is your Baan/LN strategy ready for the "2030 Countdown"?

Kathy Barthelt 0 600 Article rating: 5.0

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"?

How Crossroads RMC Can Future-Proof Your Operations

Whether you are optimizing your current system or planning a high-performance migration to Infor CloudSuite, we provide the specialized expertise that your business requires:

  • Utilization Reviews: Identify where current systems are underutilized and align ERP functionality with current and future business goals, ensuring the software evolves alongside the company.

  • Strategic Upgrades: Navigate the path from Baan or early LN 10.x) to the Infor CloudSuites to gain access to modern features such as AI-driven analytics and industry-specific capabilities.

  • Hyper-Automation: Deploy ERP add-ons that eliminate manual data entry and connect your entire shop floor.

  • Expert Training: Ensure your staff is prepared for the 2026 digital landscape with best-practice workshops.

Let’s Make 2026 Your Most Efficient Year Yet.

Don't let your ERP be a roadblock. Let’s turn it into your competitive advantage. Contact the Crossroads RMC team today to schedule your 2026 Strategy Session.

Embracing Industry 4.0: The Future of Smart Manufacturing is Here

WEBINAR - Join us: Thursday, April 17th, 2025 from 1:00 to 1:30 (US/Eastern)

Anthony Etzel 0 8369 Article rating: 5.0

We’re standing in the middle of the Fourth Industrial Revolution—Industry 4.0—a transformation that’s redefining how products are made, moved, and managed. But many companies are still operating with Industry 3.0 systems: digitized, yes, but not yet intelligent, connected, or adaptive.

So, what makes Industry 4.0 different? And more importantly—where does your company stand in this transformation?

Automation to Intelligence: The Shift from Industry 3.0 to 4.0
Industry 3.0 introduced computers, electronics, and early automation into manufacturing. It marked the beginning of digital systems and the rise of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) as a bridge between planning and the shop floor. Industry 4.0 takes it further: it brings interconnectivity, real-time data, and AI-powered intelligence into every corner of the industrial environment. It’s about smart factories, self-optimizing systems, and predictive capabilities that weren’t possible before.

8 Pillars of Industry 4.0:

Eliminating ERP Customizations: Key Considerations and Modern Solutions

Kathy Barthelt 0 11827 Article rating: 5.0

Transitioning away from customizations can indeed pose challenges, but it's not insurmountable with the right approach. Here’s a look at the real issues and solutions that can pave the way for a streamlined, up-to-date ERP.


Common Challenges:

  1. Dependency on Custom Processes
    Custom processes become ingrained, and removing them disrupts established workflows. However, business processes often evolve over time, as do best practices incorporated into modern ERP systems.

  2. Cost and Time Constraints
    Testing, retraining, and hiring consultants for an upgrade are valid concerns. Yet, consider the efficiency gains and reduced maintenance costs over time by utilizing standard ERP features.

  3. User Resistance
    Change management is critical, as employees can be skeptical of losing tools they’re familiar with. Effective communication about the benefits of standardized, future-ready tools can help ease the transition.


The Reality Check: Has Your Organization Changed?

Evaluate how much your business needs have shifted, how user expectations have evolved, and if any workarounds or interim solutions are now adding unnecessary complexity. Many companies discover that industry-standard ERP features can replace outdated customizations.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Tips: LN | Baan

You use LN audit features to fully or partially log changes that users make to the LN database tables when they use LN sessions.

The audit functionality is based on the concept of audit profiles. In an audit profile, you define which tables and fields are audited and when, in the context of an audit profile. To bundle profiles in the same functional area, you can relate the profiles to audit categories. You can export and import audit profiles with various options to enable a quick configuration. The audit trail is stored in sequence files, which are generated for each combination of company and table.

Note: For some important parameter tables it is required that auditing is enabled.

You can view or print the history of modifications.
