Key benefits of Infor M3

Infor M3 and related industry-specific CloudSuite solutions are deployed and provisioned on Amazon® Web Services (AWS®) and provides businesses with an infrastructure that enables quicker responses to new opportunities and customer needs. It utilizes the Infor OS technology platform, which enables M3 CloudSuites to address business needs beyond a traditional ERP system. Infor OS’s extensibility capabilities set the foundation for your enterprise ecosystem and allow you to tailor M3 CloudSuites to your specific needs with tools such as customizable homepages, social collaboration, workflows and alerts, Infor ION® and APIs, and more. Infor M3 CloudSuites can drive agility from end to end, and help your organization:

-Innovate faster: Cloud solutions enable organizations to keep pace with industry changes and pursue new opportunities without adding expensive infrastructure, while taking advantage of emerging functionality quickly and cost effectively. If a new initiative succeeds, it can be scaled seamlessly to a wider audience.

-Simplify security and compliance: By moving enterprise systems and platforms to the cloud, organizations can effectively hand off cybersecurity responsibilities and significant costs to a committed cloud partner. In a cloud-based SaaS world, security and compliance updates can be pushed out automatically to the entire organization as soon as they’re available, which ensures everyone in the company has access to the most current tools.

-Improve performance and scalability: Cloud-driven businesses benefit from best-in-class performance and scalability, allowing them to rapidly respond to monthly, seasonal, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) challenges. They can establish a new presence or expand operations in virtually any region without having to physically be there, minimizing both capital investments and risk.

-Reduce total cost of ownership (TCO): Moving to the cloud converts software from a capital to an operational expense. With this switch in revenue reporting, companies will have access to funds for expansion and new business initiatives, and the ability to quickly respond to growth opportunities.

-Encourage technology adoption: Cloud-based software is user friendly and supports the way the new generation of digital natives likes to work. Users across the entire business ecosystem are more likely to adopt a cloud-based system because they can leverage a modern user interface (UI) and embedded business intelligence (BI) on any device, encouraging them to seek out data and integrate it into the decision-making process.

I have worked with M3 for a number of organizations, and besides effectively managing the material plan and production schedule, it has also served well for the management of multiple business units which require monthly consolidation, multi-currency financial operations, and the complete life cycle of business processes.

Pros

M3 is a stable, robust, proven ERP system that fits a wide variety of industries well, handles international business requirements and has the flexibility to support both the front office and the back office.

In recent years, this has been supplemented with a modern UI toolset, allowing for workflow design and management, along with browser-based homepages and widgets that present users with the information they need to act on, focusing on exceptional situations instead of repetitive, routine tasks.

Cons

The basic user interface for functional programs is still designed in the old AS400/RPG style, with a series of panels and a method of proceeding from panel to panel and program to program which can seem counter-intuitive to the user. Output management (for forms such as customer invoices or packing lists) has long been a weak spot but that is being addressed with new tools being developed. API's are available for many programs which allows for the development of custom user interfaces via Infor OS Homepages and Widgets, but there are significant gaps where API's have not been published.

user experience makes easier introduction of new hired colleagues.
Flexibility in configuration helps to add new functionalities fast.

Pros

flexibility, easy of use and a lot of functionalities ready to use (that had to implement custom with other products)

Cons

I see mainly 2 points:
1. enterprise structure has got some lacks, do not manage structured sales organizations (it doesn't exist a concept like it, which is usefull when you have same customer managed in different sales organization within the same company which could have different price list, discounts, payment terms)
2. all accounting is inherited through order, in example when I post good receipt I need to have cost center in purchase order and I cannot change during good receipt. And also for sales, all accounting are inherited from order. Workaround exists, but it is still a limitation

Alternatives Considered

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Reasons for Switching to Infor M3

IT should be more simple and faster to implement, furthermore more flexible

We used this software for one of our client for their supply chain management and purchase order management, and its works very smoothly and process has been optimized by few work hours by using this ERP. this was the first instance when we go live within a week, so kudos to their team and also support was very good. they are guiding us wherever we stuck in the process and we have almost recieved return on experience by using this software for our client

Pros

This is the best ERP software for manufacturing industry with some of the top notch functionalities to serve in a better way, i like the customer purchase order management feature, which i think the best feature in this software also the implementation within very much less time.

Cons

User interface is still looks very old and even in the updated versions also due to the old UI, features are not look promising. UI need be corrected

Allows for high volume of transactions and equipment movement throughout our over 30 locations. Could use more documentation on what is and is not supported functionality in certain programs. It is a fairly large ERP system, so this would be tough with all the new features being added.

Pros

It has many more features than we currently use, that we can grow into.

Cons

We are an unusual rental operation and initially it didn't have all the functionality that we required, so our 3rd party implementer made modifications to our base code, so when infor came out with the similar feature, we could not move to it. There are some feature fixes that can not be retrofit into our release.

Overall as of now I don't have trouble using the INFOR system, for me this i a work buddy that maximize my work output and meet deadlines, experiencing minor problems but can handle it immediately.

Pros

We are currently using INFOR in our office, so far using this system is very easy to understand and very work friendly. Details and functions are organized that new user will catch up easily.

Cons

Sometimes experiencing website errors, and personalization of tool bars and forms sometimes bit a tricky.
