Presents all information in one place and automates some of our manual processes
This product is used by more than 50 colleges in our state and it is purchased by the government. The system office does the testing and pushes out the patches to us, so everything has been testing. Even if there is any customization that needs to be done, it happens before it comes to us. As such, I haven't had to contact technical support myself.

Facilitates streamlined business processes and consolidation of divisions
The advantage of Infor LN is the ability to customize some sessions directly to what our business needs. It simplifies tracking by following every transaction in the system, allowing finance to see online each finance transaction from production orders, purchase orders, inventory, and project-wise. Infor LN helps consolidate divisions into one language, facilitating time and cost savings.

"The advantage of Infor LN is the ability to customize some sessions directly to what our business needs."
"The most valuable features of Infor LN include its production planning capabilities, its efficiency in running in the cloud, and its ability to handle multi-site, multi-logistic, and multi-finance operations."
"We have definitely seen a return on our investment with the product."

Cons

"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"From a customers' perspective, Infor LN covers most of the processes in the company, but sometimes, they have to choose other tools because of the functionality or the cost of the Infor solution. It covers the core functions of the company—such as financial, operations, logistics, and so on—very well, but it doesn't cover some parts such as invoices, digitization, etc."
"Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention."
"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"The user interface of Infor LN is not very user-friendly."
"While Infor LN incorporates the latest business processes and functions, there is always room for improvement as the business grows. In the new normal, it could stand to incorporate quite a few automation processes like the RPA and utilize machine learning in the Internet of Things."
"The user interface of Infor LN could be more intuitive for common users. Sometimes, it is necessary to have an expert for connections."
