Extending business functionality

Infor Process Automation

Customers can use Infor Process Automation (IPA) to extend business functionality by automating business processes. IPA is delivered with this CloudSuite base and is available to all customers.

Some examples of how IPA can extend business functionality:

• Save time for your users by automating procedures.

• Ensure that a complex procedure is performed correctly at your site.

  You can create a process that includes steps (form access, email notifications, other activities) in the order that you want them to be performed. Steps that are dependent on a previous step cannot be performed until the prerequisite step has been completed.

• Add steps to an infor Lawson procedure that fall outside of Infor Lawson applications.

  For example, to get or verify data from the Web or another source, you can create a process that performs these steps.

Infor Lawson Design Studio

Infor Lawson Design Studio is compatible with JavaScript. Customers who have JavaScript expertise on-site can extend the business functionality of user forms.

You can use the tool to:

• Add new pages to which users can navigate from Infor Lawson. These pages can be anything that you want them to be.

• Create wizards that can be used to automate Infor Lawson functions to ensure that they are performed in the correct order.

• Interface with JavaScript so that additional functions can be added to Infor Lawson forms.

Infor Landmark Configuration Console

Infor Landmark Configuration Console can extend business functionality in these ways:

• Application: Creating business objects (applications)

• Web Services: Creation of new web services. Web services can be used to enable systems outside of Infor Landmark to view or update Infor Landmark data.
