Infor customers can continue to use their old browser-based interfaces if they choose. Learning curves and security are also bolstered by offering role-based interfaces that expose only the functions that users need for their particular roles. According to Infor, Workspaces will start becoming available to IBM i applications, such as ERP LX (BPCS), ERP XA (MAPICS), and ERP System 21, within the next nine to 12 months.īy making the applications look and behave the same, Infor hopes Workspace will make it easier for companies to train their users to work with new applications.

Workspace is a SharePoint application that is available today for several of Infor’s open systems applications, including ERP LN, ERP SyteLine, EAM, FMS SunSystems, and Expense Management. The new offering builds on prior Infor investments in Microsoft technology, and will eventually support most of Infor’s ERP systems, including those running on IBM i. Workspace goes beyond pretty pictures by delivering useful features like role-based and workflow-enabled interfaces, “in context” reporting and business intelligence, and real-time collaboration capabilities. Infor last week revealed Workspace, its new standard graphical user interface that’s based on Microsoft‘s SharePoint Web portal.
