After going through different test executions and workshops, any missing features can be added using Infor extension tables and other products. It will take at least eight to nine months to go live."

No other solution has such localization."

These add-ons run within the solution and can be provided to customers based on their specific production needs."

"Lacks ability to integrate with other tools."
