Industry Process Catalog

Industry Process Catalog is a streamlined implementation methodology, managed by Infor Services, that includes a solution to integrate all of your core processes. Industry Process Catalog can be the final step, or the first step, in an ongoing process improvement. As your business changes and grows, the scale and scope can be extended and other applications can be integrated.

Industry Process Catalog packages best practices in a repeatable, directive implementation approach to get you up and running on the core solution, with predictable costs and defined scope.

Industry Process Catalog includes a preconfigured company structure, which is the foundation for the implementation of the CloudSuite and is duplicated to fulfill training, migration, and production environments. The company structure is loaded with predefined business processes, which provide you with a graphical view of the business flow across the company.

These steps summarize the implementation process with Industry Process Catalog:

  1. Start with the preconfigured company structure.

  2. Confirm that the predefined and preconfigured business processes work for you.

  3. Load your legacy data.

  4. Start testing and validating the business processes.

  5. Extend data sharing between companies as required.
