Introduction

Unlike the LN application packages, you can use the Infor LN Unternehmungsmodellierung before the information system is operational.

Therefore, you can use the LN Unternehmensmodellierung Tool to create business models. With these models you can implement the LN application packages.

When implementing a new information system with LN applications, LN Unternehmensmodellierung can be used to structure the selection process and perform the actual implementation and optimization of the information system.

Complete these three phases:

  • Selection phase

    This phase is used to develop a vision of the implementation and optimization of the LN modules that are required for the new information system.

  • Implementation phase

    This phase is used to implement the LN information system according to the vision made in the selection phase.

  • Optimization phase

    This phase is used to optimize the operational information system implemented in the second phase.

During the three phases, LN Unternehmensmodellierung functions as a decision support system to develop a vision about:

  • To functionally structure an organization.
  • Organizing the business processes of the organization.
  • Integrating the information system with these business processes.

LN Unternehmensmodellierung assists the implementation of the LN packages according to the developed vision.

After the information system is implemented, LN Unternehmensmodellierung can be used to monitor the critical success factors of an organization.

These roles are carried out:

  • During the Selection phase, LN Unternehmensmodellierung can function as a decision support system by visualizing the effects of decisions on the information system and its users.

    For example, decisions regarding business functions or business processes can affect the number of applications, and other types of activities, that must be implemented. Consequently, this can affect the workload of the employees who carry out the activities.

  • During the Implementation phase, you can use LN Unternehmensmodellierung to assist in the actual implementation of LN, and other applications.

In the implementation phase use the Modeler to:

  • Set the LN parameters and package settings.
  • Generate the LN users that are based on the employees defined in LN Unternehmensmodellierung. These users are going to use the LN packages.
  • Create the Process Browsers and the authorizations for the employees.

The Process Browser is a menu tree in Web UI or LN UI. It is the LN Unternehmensmodellierung runtime user interface, and consists of a window from which employees can start the activities and are authorized for.

In the Process Browser, you see roles by employees. Linked to these roles are Business Processes with activities.
