Lawson Benchmarking Study Finds Customers Committed to Product

Baltimore, MD (August 8th, 2014) — Three years after its acquisition by Infor Corporation, a Lawson benchmarking study found that users of Lawson ERP software are continuing to invest in their systems. More than half of organizations using Lawson expect to upgrade to the latest version (10x) within the next twelve months, and only 4% said they did not plan to upgrade at all.

Moreover, more than a third of responding organizations have implemented one or more applications based on Landmark, Infor’s newest software platform, indicating that customers are finding value among Infor’s line of products beyond Lawson.

“This is certainly good news for the Lawson ecosystem,” said Keith Wayland, Managing Partner of RPI Consultants. “It’s always unsettling when a product you rely on goes through an acquisition. But I think people are seeing that Infor is continuing to invest in the Lawson product, and so customers are beginning to do the same.”

The survey also found that a majority of organizations that responded are utilizing Employee and Manager Self-Service (82%), LBI (70%), and Requisition Center (68%). Most (70%) use some kind of imaging software in tandem with Lawson.
