  • Lawson S3 Now an Infor10 Product

    December 13, 2011 Alex Woodie

    Lawson Software‘s S3 line of ERP software is now officially an Infor10 product, the company announced last week. The announcement is important because it gives S3 customers access to a range of add-on products from Infor, including the Microsoft Office-based Workspace interface, new mobile apps, and other Infor enterprise apps.

    Infor rolled out its new Infor10 brand late this summer as part of a company-wide overhaul in how it positions and markets its software. The moniker is significant because it indicates which of Infor’s products will receive the best treatment and be the strategic Infor products going forward.

    Infor has acquired several dozen application packages over the last decade, and not all of them will be branded “Infor10” products. While the applications that aren’t dubbed Infor10 won’t be sunsetted, they also won’t get the latest and greatest enhancements, such as integration with the ION middleware, integration with the Workspace interface, and Web service enablement, among other features.

    Lawson’s S3 (stands for staff, source, and serve) line of ERP software is now officially called Lawson S3 10. Organizations that run this package now have several new options available to them, including use of the new Workspace interface that Infor unveiled earlier this year. Workspace is based on Microsoft SharePoint, and delivers a consistent UI across all supported Infor applications. It presents options to users depending on their roles, includes workflow-enabled interfaces, and supports “in context” reporting and real-time collaboration.

    As an Infor10 application, Lawson S3 10 also provides new mobile applications, including Infor’s Mobile Inbasket, Mobile Requisitions, and Mobile Employee.

    On the enterprise software front, the integration work behind the Infor10 designation of S3 gives S3 customers access to a broader range of Infor10 applications, including Infor10 FMS SunSystems, Infor10 Expense Management, Infor10 Corporate Performance Management, Infor10 Enterprise Asset Management, and Human Capital Management.

    The plan communicated by Lawson also involves tweaking the industry-specific versions of Lawson apps. For example, the company’s healthcare solution will see enhancements in areas like analytics, integration, and EAM. The company’s public sector solution will get hooks into Infor10 EAM Enterprise.

    “This product release validates the strategy behind the affiliation of Lawson and Infor,” stated Lawson director of financial systems product management Darci Snyder, who added that the work shows that Infor and Lawson are “reimagining how enterprise software is managed and how enterprise software can transform business and operations.”

    When it comes to consuming web APIs on your IBM i, your options often boil down to one of two things:

    First, you end up having to rely on a variety of open source and non-RPG solutions. This adds developer complexity, taking away time that could have been better spent invested in other projects. Of course, open source software is free, but generally comes at the cost of no professional support, which adds an element of risk in your production environment. RXS is completely professionally supported, and is complemented by a staff of trained IBM i developers who can address your nuanced development challenges, head on.

    Second, if you choose not to pursue an open-source solution, you’re often left having to shake up your current program architecture with proprietary software, external dependencies, and partial RPG implementations – many of which are sub-par compared to RPG-XML Suite’s wide range of features. RXS aims to simplify the efforts of developers with tools like code generators, useful commands, and subprocedures written in 100% RPG – no Java. Because they are entirely RPG, the RXS subprocedures are easy to add to new or existing ILE programs and architecture, helping to cut your development time. RPG-XML Suite offers powerful capabilities in an accessible, easy-to-implement format.

    With RPG-XML Suite, you can accomplish a variety of complex tasks, such as:

    • Calling REST and SOAP web services from your IBM i
    • Offering APIs from your IBM i
    • Creating JSON & XML
    • Parsing JSON & XML
    • Text manipulation, Base64 encoding/decoding, CCSID handling, hashing and encryption functions, and more.

    To try RXS for yourself, we recommend a free proof of concept, which not only gives you access to all of RPG-XML Suite’s subprocedures and utilities but also includes a tailor-made software demonstration that can be used as a starting point for your future API implementations.

    For a free proof of concept, contact us at sales@krengeltech.com, or visit our website for more information.
