Infor ERP vs Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations (formerly Dynamics AX)

• It is one of the simplest products on the market. Very user friendly and in my opinion not complicated and busy wit unnecessary tools.
• We usually do a very short training for new hires and they pick it up promptly.
• Data processing is fast and results are always on time.
• Good amount of ready made reports for our needs.

• Infor ERP is a great stand alone ERP system but add-on software packages are often needed to attain a greater level of detail. Our organization has recently teamed up with ScottTech to implement a warehouse management system called PickPro. PickPro will provide us with up-to-the-minute inventory information driven by the many transactions and movement of material that occurs throughout our processes.
• The Human Resource module is not used by our organization as it lacks functionality.
• Reports and background tasks/updates often need to be run after-hours as speed is a serious issue and can hinder other parallel users.

• MRP can be slow to adapt to changes in actual production or supply chain transactions.
• Setting up number sequences seems a trivial matter, but these numbers ID transactions once they are in the ledger and are key--easy to miss this point in the implementation process.
• Bank rec being easily automated and able to quickly plug into a bank back end to get data is not the best.
• Payment processing can be 'clunky' based on checks, ACH, Wires...as some of these items are not triggered out of the box in AX, bur are easily added --talking ACH and Wires specifically.

• Infor ERP helps managers assess where costs accumulate and determine ways to counteract rising costs.
• The software allows managers to see in a timely manner how the various manufacturing groups are performing.

• Automated art approvals - We were able to save the company thousands of dollars a year by eliminating an employee to send art approvals out. Not only eliminate an employee but are now able to send thousands more emails at a time.
• With AX our agents are able to see exactly where an order is in the building. Our process flow is extremely strong with AX on our side.
