Maximized industry-specific process efficiency with rapid implementation
The best features of Infor M3 are the micro-vertical and industry ready-made solutions rather than generic solutions. They have ready-made solutions ready, so the implementation of the process discovery happens very fast. It won't take more than two months, and if the process is very simple and they adopt the standard, it may happen within five weeks, covering the implementation cycle which will finish within seven to eight months. Most of the time, it helps streamline business processes; maybe some processes such as unique subcontracting vary by continent or job work, which could be different due to legal compliance. Other than that, everything helps because the processes are very much streamlined. Everywhere you have a check and maker concept, there is a workflow, and all those things are there; document management is also very simple. You can drag and drop the reports. The workflow feature is very good and flexible, working with multi-level authorization and all those capabilities. Apart from that, the GUI interface screens are really good. Users can design their own workspace based on the roles, and there are roles-based security options, with many roles available that you need not define—you can just tweak them.

Accurate reporting and customization options deliver reliable business solutions
SAP Business All-in-One is used for the mid-sized market. Their main areas are reporting, inventory valuations, and inventory limit management. The system doesn't allow negative inventory. This ERP helps organizations manage their financials, inventory, productions, fixed assets, and budgeting. We can customize it by creating add-ons and linking them with SAP Business All-in-One, making integration very easy. SAP Business All-in-One is not specific to any module. We can access and learn all modules including sales and distribution, procurement, production, and financial aspects. We can develop Crystal Reports that are SQL-based and query-based reporting. It is a good product and ERP system to run and use, with many large companies using it for their financial operations.
