Realize Business Benefits with HCL’s Infor LN Practice

Today manufacturing businesses need to cope with the relentless pressures of a fluctuating global marketplace. Competition and the blinding pace of innovation compel shortened product lifecycles, necessitating the need to reduce the launch timelines for new products and services while optimizing cost elements.

Competing in such a dynamic marketplace require managing more complex and virtual supply chains globally. A major challenge in efficiently managing business in such times, is a lack of business process integration caused by information silos across organizations.

HCL believes that such information silos are bottle necks for the entire business value chain and hence through its HCL ERP LN consulting services, it aims at advising customer and eliminating such bottlenecks.

HCL’s Infor LN/Baan consulting practice achieves this by assessing the existing business value chains and optimizing inefficient business processes, leveraging new functionality or through customizations. It helps business stay current on latest Infor LN releases, maintain quick & seamless data exchange between other applications through integrations and optimize internal expenses so that resulting cost benefits can be passed onto the end customers.
