We design our ERP solutions to work with you as you do business – today and over time. This means that our solutions must be timeless enough to meet the basic challenges you will always face.

They must also be flexible and cost-effective enough to evolve as your business grows, as industry trends ebb and flow, and as technology continues to advance. Maintaining a balance of progressive momentum with historical success, of realized value with smart investments, and of technology breakthroughs with a sensible approach to optimization are exactly what drives our innovations forward.

From our open source platforms to our willingness to engage customers in the product development process, we provide enterprise resource planning software that helps give you the competitive advantage and flexibility you expect in best-practice ERP solutions.

Open Source Technology

Our technology platform - Lawson System Foundation - combines our newest technology with world-class middleware from IBM, for a high-performance solution that delivers comprehensive security, scalability, and usability. It also preserves your choice of hardware platform while providing a foundation for next-generation Lawson applications designed for use within service oriented architecture (SOA) environments.

In addition, Landmark is our revolutionary new technology and applications model that can enhance your entire Lawson product life-cycle experience, dramatically reduce implementation times, and further lower your total cost of ownership. With the new technology environment, Lawson will offer a backbone of J2EE-compliant Web services for SOAs running on industry-standard platforms, such as IBM WebSphere.

Landmark will enable Lawson to rapidly develop new services addressing industry or functional-specific business processes without the usual lengthy product development cycle while enabling clients to incorporate Lawson applications and components into new composite applications. Landmark also supports key standards such as WSDL, XML and SOAP.

Customer Involvement in Product Development

One of the most successful ways to make sure that your “great ideas” and innovative products truly work for your customers is to simply ask them. That’s why we provide a wide variety of opportunities for customers to get involved in the product feedback, review, testing and modification process. From informal opinion requests to formalized surveys and focus groups, we keep our customers involved in the product innovation process.

One of the most successful approaches to customer involvement has been the Lawson User Groups. These groups provide a forum for customers to share experiences and work with Lawson to improve the overall customer experience. Members include customers from all over the world. Objectives include:

• Provide a formal and organized medium for the exchange of Lawson product knowledge, ideas and experiences
• Build a strong relationship among M3 or S3 users, which can be leveraged to influence Lawson improvements
• Participate in the definition, submission and prioritization of enhancements to product functionality
