Chris Arey
RPI Consultants recently had the pleasure of attending the Infor Connect conference in Dallas, Texas. It was a fantastic opportunity to find out what Infor has in store for the community, as well as get a glimpse into some of the product developments on the roadmap.
We’re going to be talking about our top five takeaways from the event. So, stick around. It’s all happening here on RPI Tech Connect.
Hello and welcome to RPI Tech Connect, the go-to podcast for all things ERP. I’m your host, Chris Arey, and today we’re bringing you an inside look at everything that went down at Infor Connect 2025 in Dallas, Texas.
It was a packed few days with a new venue, new ideas, and a whole lot of energy.
Here to share the biggest takeaways from the event is Jeremy Stoltzfus, a principal technical consultant here at RPI and a known expert across the Infor Community. So, Jeremy, as always, it’s a pleasure to have you on the show.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Thanks for having me here.
Chris Arey
Yeah, man. Anything you want to share about yourself for those who maybe don’t know you?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah, sure. I’ve been with RPI for a little over eight years now as a technical consultant, so focusing on implementations, upgrades, development, that type of thing.
I’ve been on the customer side prior to joining RPI, so been in the Lawson ERP space for over 20 years now. I’ve attended Lawson Q, Inforum, Velocity, Infor Connect, all the various events over the years.
Chris Arey
I was going to say, if you had to put a number on it, are you thinking like, 100?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
I mean, it’s been, I would say one a year since 2000.
Chris Arey
Okay, so you’ve seen it all. So that’s what makes your perspectives here so unique. Let’s start with the show itself.
Before we get into our takeaways, this is at a new location. I heard it was a great turnout, customers and prospects. What was it like? What was the energy?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah.
Yeah, so it was a really good energy. So Infor Connect, of course, kind of evolved from the Winter Showcase, which was always a much smaller, not, I don’t want to say exclusive, but definitely a much smaller, limited group of people that could attend.
I think they had capped that at like 150 or 200 people in the past. And so, you know, last year, of course, the Connect conference, they moved to a different hotel within St. Paul so that they could get more people in. Then that one sold out.
And so once again, they moved again this year to Dallas, a larger venue, but even that one sold out. So there’s a lot more excitement. There’s a lot more energy.
I can say that this year at Connect felt more like the old Lawson Q days, which was high energy. A lot of people are excited, trying to learn more, and share ideas. It was definitely more of a collaborative, high-energy event than the past few years.
Chris Arey
It sounds like there’s a trend there too with like the size of the event growing each year.
Seems like a good thing. Yeah. More people.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah, yeah, for sure. I mean, these events are successful from an attendance standpoint. Users get the information that Infor is delivering.
But the more people there are, the more you get to meet with other customers that share your similar experience, same industry, same problems that you run into. So sharing knowledge, that’s where the former Lawson community was always really strong.
And with Infor, that’s been a little bit of a struggle, I would say, but it’s definitely improved over the past few years.
Chris Arey
I’ve said it in the last two recaps that I’ve done and the one we’re doing today, but Infor Connect, it’s all in the name. I think it’s a great name for what it does: the opportunity and platform that it gives partners, customers, prospects, and Infor itself.
It’s a fantastic event. And with that, let’s go ahead and shift gears. I’ve had conversations with you and Melissa and a handful of other RPIers about some of the major themes that emerged at this year’s Connect.
I’m gonna rattle off the five that we have, and then I think we can jump into each one in the order that I think makes the most sense. So the first one here is this innovation. As a lot of people know, over the last month or so, Infor announced the Velocity Suite, so I think there was a lot of closer inspection as to what that solution is and how organizations can make better use of it.
So I think that’s the first one. The second thing is reporting. There’s been a lot of development with reporting and with the data warehouse.
The third thing is user experience evolution. You know, they’ve made some tremendous strides in helping users navigate the system with greater ease.
And then there’s this fourth one here about frontline worker engagement, which sounds like it’s maybe given recognition and greater access to workers who maybe traditionally weren’t using the system.
And then wrapping that all up with this idea of cloud excellence. So let’s go ahead and take a closer look at this tech innovation and the Velocity Suite. What spoke out to you at the event? What can you share?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah, so Velocity Suite, of course, is a big push from Infor right now. It consists of three main components, process mining, GenAI, and automation tools such as robotic process automation, or RPA.
There are a lot of other pieces involved too, but those are the three main things. So as we talk about process mining, now that more customers are live on CloudSuite and have been using the system for years now, really, and have gone through the monthly cycles, the monthly updates for a couple of years and have experienced that.
This is what we saw in the old days, in the former Lawson days. When we move a customer from version 9 to 10, where they’ve been on 10 for a while and they don’t know and understand all the new features that have come out, we would do assessments and say, okay, well, you’re not taking advantage of all of this. Let’s figure out how we can utilize some of those new features.
So Velocity Suite is really kind of intended to, hey, let’s take a look at how you are using the system. Are you using the system effectively? So the big one, of course, is always the, when you talk about a business process, the big one is always source to settle, right?
From the moment a contract is created to purchase items, from a requisition being entered, PO being created, those items being received, and then the invoice is coming in and ultimately being paid.
How long does it take a typical organization to go through that entire process from start to finish? So process mining is intended to capture that information. It’s capturing events all along that sequence.
Chris Arey
Hmm.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
And it has the ability then to analyze the timing between all of those events and really show you, where in the system are our bottlenecks? I can see that we’ve got hundreds of purchase requisitions that are put in daily, but it takes a long time before the POs are actually being sent out.
Why is that? Because a buyer may need to review that, or maybe the buyer team at an organization is just too small. Right? And they just have a huge backlog.
Those are the types of things where process mining can really kind of come into play and identify where the bottlenecks are in your process.
Chris Arey
That sounds like a really helpful tool to just like, I don’t like the word audit, but it’s kind of measuring and evaluating a process you have and being like, hey, here’s an area where you could maybe simplify or, you know, create greater efficiency in the process.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Right, and the best part of the Velocity Suite is not only it’s the tools and the software to do that analysis, but it comes with a lot of pre-built processes and pre-built data scenarios.
You don’t have to build from scratch. You’ve got the main business processes kind of delivered out of the box, so all you really kind of have to do is turn it on and start looking at the data that gets produced.
Chris Arey
Very cool. So not only are you diagnosing these issues, you’re also able to ideally resolve them very quickly.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah, I mean the resolution is outside of process mining. You then have to take a look at, well, why is creating purchase orders such a bottleneck for us?
Process mining will identify where the bottlenecks are, but then you still have to go into looking into that to understand. The software doesn’t do that. That still requires some manual intervention to be able to truly identify solutions to those bottlenecks.
Chris Arey
Okay, got it. And so you mentioned RPA. So what’s the buzz there?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah, so mean, RPA is a tool that’s been around in general for many years now. Infor is bringing an RPA tool into its suite of products. Again, it’s part of the Velocity suite.
You know, I think of a good use case for RPA, right? It’s an automation tool, so robotic process automation. You know, over the years, I’ve worked with several customers who use third-party interfaces, they still have to do things manually because the third-party interface doesn’t support automation.
So an end user has to go to this third-party website, log in, download a file, and then import that file manually and do that whole process manually into CloudSuite or into their ERP. Because the third party doesn’t have FTP access where they can just dump the file and we can automate, because a lot of times we do just that.
So where a tool like RPA comes into play then is you can create a robot that goes out, launches that URL, logs in with credentials, goes to a certain, navigates to a certain form, and downloads the file.
And then once that file is downloaded and captured within that RPA workflow, then you can, then it’s just automation, just like any other piece of automation where we’re interfacing, we’re taking that content to that file and loading it into the UMP. So things like that have a very valid use case.
Chris Arey
That’s awesome. And at the Connect conference, they were kind of showing, like giving a closer look at these, these components of the Suite, you say.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah, absolutely. I had the privilege of attending Tech Day, which was a day and a half before the official Connect conference actually started. And we did get a deeper dive into RPA, as well as some of the other components that have been out there.
Of course, out of the box, CloudSuite has API calls that you can give to third parties to say, you can make this API call into our system to query data out or to post data back in.
Backend as a service allows you to essentially create your own API call within the system. And then you can code it to do whatever it is that you want. You can say, OK, well, vendor, make this API call into the system.
My backend as a service definition may make five other API calls to external systems, systems within CloudSuite, mash that data altogether and produce some sort of result, or upload more data or trigger something else to happen within the application.
Chris Arey
So there was a push or maybe a show and tell of this backend as a service at the Tech Day. Is that right?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah, exactly. We got kind of a taste of what that involves. It’s not for the faint of heart. It’s definitely a developer-heavy solution or tool. It’s not going to be for every customer by any means. But for the larger customers that want to improve efficiency and have the ability and have the teams to do that, it can be a valuable tool.
Chris Arey
So Backend as a service is that like, it’s like SaaS, but with a B, BaaS.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah.
Chris Arey
Cool. All right. So a lot of innovation, exciting, know, tech solutions that organizations can take advantage of. Love to hear that. And I think that we can, from that point, jump into our next one here, which is about reporting.
Now, you know, RPI has administered the State of the Infor Community survey for two years now, and a theme that has shown up in both of those survey results is this need for reporting.
Specifically, more capability, and more functionality for greater visibility into their business performance. So reporting sounds like it was a topic at Infor Connect. So what did you find out and what do we have to look forward to?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah, definitely after doing many CloudSuite implementation projects over the years, reporting is always kind of the thorn in the side of the project. It’s a pain point. It’s hard.
The tools have gotten better over the years for sure, but there’s still demand for more detail and being able to get to more levels than what customers used to have. And so Infor has been making strides to do that.
Specifically, here are a couple of the big things that Infor’s been working on. They did just officially certify the Amazon Aurora database platform to work with the CloudSuite applications.
So new tenants being provisioned now will be provisioned with the Amazon Aurora databases instead of Microsoft SQL Server. And then there’s a process in place to migrate old data over to that database as well.
Chris Arey
Why is this transition from the SQL server to this Amazon Azure, Azure?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Aurora.
Chris Arey
Aurora, excuse me. Amazon Aurora, why does this matter? Why is this a good thing?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
So, I mean, your traditional databases, Oracle SQL Server, great databases, very scalable and can handle high volumes of data.
Amazon Aurora was really kind of built for cloud-based applications. So it’s got a little bit of a different concept to it. I don’t fully understand all the intricacies of it.
However, there is a lot that is being done to support replica databases.
Linking a replica database to a data warehouse still within the cloud, which would be basically real-time, allowing you to query that replica database.
I want to say indirectly, I don’t want to ever say directly because when you say direct database access, that means a certain thing to customers.
It’s still going to be going through the InforOS data fabric layer, through the data fabric, the Compass Explorer within CloudSuite. But it does give some additional reporting and querying capabilities.
The biggest thing now, so Compass, has been around as a part of the data fabric layer within InforOS for quite some time.
But it is typically querying against the data lake. This becomes a true data warehouse where the data is structured. A data lake is literally just data thrown in a pond. It’s unstructured
The data warehouse solution is going to provide some structure which means faster response time
Chris Arey
Okay. Well, that sounds like a great time to be a CloudSuite customer then. And the tenant migration timeline, did they share anything at all with that? What does that look like for folks already on it?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
They have tentatively proposed through 2027, so that will be an ongoing thing. I think their first step was to get the database platform certified.
Now, they can focus on creating a migration plan for existing customers. That’s kind of in the roadmap through, at this point it was just kind of said through 2027.
Chris Arey
Okay. And you love to hear that though, you know, like we’ve talked about how Infor Connect and rather Infor is listening to the community and taking action.
So you love to see that reporting was a requested area for improvement and they shared the news at the Connect conference that they have made this switch to the Amazon Aurora database. So you just love to hear that.
They’re making good on these promises and really putting the customer first. That’s good stuff.
Okay, moving on to our next takeaway here, we’ve got user experience evolution.
So I say that and it sounds clear to me what that means, but I’d love to hear from your perspective in what ways Infor is kind of making the experience better for users.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Absolutely. Yeah, for sure. So if you’re currently a CloudSuite customer and you looked at the new feature toggles that have become available in the recent April CU, or even the October CU from last year, they have been working on consolidating the various web applications and simplifying the menu structures.
Infor over the years has actually done a lot of click analysis, and they’ve identified that customers go to a certain application and then they have to click six times as soon as they get in to get to what they need the most.
And so that’s what they’ve been doing over the years is understanding how people are using the system and making it more efficient so that they don’t have to click six times.
For customers that are live or have been live, some of those menus are nested six levels deep. And so you’re expanding menu, menu, menu.
Chris Arey
Yeah.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
And so some of the redesign has been kind of made to make it a little bit more intuitive upfront, visible as a whole page as opposed to navigating down some complicated menu tree structure.
Chris Arey
And reducing clicks is the goal, yeah?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Reducing clicks is the goal. Yeah, exactly. When I switch to a payables application as an accounts payable staff member, I shouldn’t have to click five or six times just to get to the list of invoices.
That should be where I go out of the box. So those are many of the kinds of things that have been worked on and improved.
Chris Arey
Yeah. You know what? I, I have to share my own personal, experience here as a marketer, reducing clicks is something that we try to do on the website. I like to think of websites as software.
So hearing that these same principles are being prioritized from an actual cloud software provider is something that it’s something I can relate to as a marketer who like, you know, has had a role in website development.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. And as Infor has been consolidating those web applications, the various roles or web applications that they’re called, then they can kind of take it to the next level.
Chris Arey
You love to hear it. You love to hear it.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
So it’ll continue to evolve and give users a little bit quicker access to the stuff that they need the most. A couple of other things that they’ve been working on.
So for customers coming from V10, you know, and before, you know, probably remember the old drill around the folder structure, kind of like a tree structure to navigate, to find related information.
So they’ve been working on that on the landmark side within the application. So that’s going to be coming. And then also, if you’re familiar, so within the landmark applications, everything is course list driven, as opposed to form driven like it was previously.
With the list driven, it’s great because you can see all the lists that meet a cert or all the records that meet a certain criteria.
Chris Arey
Hm.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
But then if you get to the details, you had to open another page. And if you just needed to look at one other thing, you could either configure your list or you had to open that page and then go back.
They’re also going to be introducing kind of a preview-type thing where the list will contain a hyperlink that opens up like a side flyout panel that gives a little bit more detail without having to completely change the page that you’re on. So again, just faster navigation experience to help people get to things a little bit more.
Chris Arey
Yeah, that’s great too. Especially given that depending on your browser or your computer speed, opening up one of those new windows might take a minute.
Being able to preview that before even clicking to make sure it’s what you’re looking for. That’s good.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yep. Yeah, a lot of times you’re going into, you’re looking at a list of data and you just need a couple of other pieces of information off of that. You don’t need the whole record. You don’t need all of the details.
This preview panel or whatever that they’re calling it will be accessible and just kind of give you that quick view.
Chris Arey
Is that something that’s available now or coming soon?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
No, that is not available now. I don’t know that there’s a definite timeline for that. think that they were hoping for this fall, but we’ll see. Not set in stone at this time.
Chris Arey
Okay, got it. So we’ve talked now bit about how Infor is making this a better user experience for those backend, know, administrator, and technical type roles.
Now it sounds like, you know, there was maybe also this emphasis on creating an engaging experience for workers who maybe otherwise wouldn’t spend as much time in the system, like these frontline folks. So can you share a little bit about what that means and how they’re doing that?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah, I mean, so that’s a little bit where the GenAI stuff comes into play and some of the AI models that can be built to look at the data.
Like, OK, you’ve got an employee that’s consistently clocking in late. Maybe do some analysis and identify those employees and figure out, OK, what can we do? Do we need to get them engaged more? Or that type of thing.
So there are those types of advantages that can be taken care of or dealt with. You know, there’s also, again, it kind of goes back to the user experience, like how do I get to my stuff quicker?
I think of nursing, for example, you know, in a healthcare situation where a nurse knows that they need a specific supply, but they don’t know where it is. They need a specific item out of a closet somewhere. It’s not in their normal closet, but they don’t know where it is.
Chris Arey
Yeah.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
A lot of organizations that I’ve worked with literally print out a catalog every day or once a week, and it’s sitting on the desk at the nursing station so they can quickly flip through that.
But being able to give them a quicker, okay, how might I just type in, go to a terminal or even a mobile device and type in a couple of keywords to search for that and be able to identify where that is, that’s ideal.
Chris Arey
So these are the sorts of things that Infor has been prioritizing for those types of users.
Well, that sounds like a good thing. It sounds like a great thing.
And in doing that, you would hope that they probably wouldn’t have to make out that printed inventory list each day and instead be able to just like open the app on your phone and see, this is where, you know, this is right to check for X, Y, Z.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah, exactly. And that inventory list is only as good as the point in time it was printed, right? I mean, in theory, you go for a particular item. It might be in three different closets.
The first closet you go to, it’s out of stock because somebody else got to it first, right? And so then you have to go to another closet.
Being able to look at it within the application on the fly tells you, okay, well, these two locations, it’s out of stock. go to here.
Chris Arey
Very cool. And that’s something that is happening presently, like today. Correct?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah, I believe some of that’s currently being engaged. And again, some of it comes with the new user experience evolution, but there’s some of that stuff developed.
Chris Arey
Okay. All right, so we’ve covered four really big themes, I think, that were present at the Connect conference this year.
We’re going to round it all out now with something that was coined at the event, and that is this idea of cloud excellence. I think of that as everything we’ve talked about today is with that in mind.
And I’m curious, from your perspective, are there any other resources or tools or ways that organizations can get more out of their cloud investment and strive for excellence? What else can you share?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Sure, yeah, exactly. So a lot of buzz around the Infor Marketplace, for example.
So think of the Marketplace as a place where you can go and maybe purchase or maybe get some things for free that help you with your solution, your implementation.
For example, I’m working on a project right now and they have a need to create an interface to their third-party retirement system, right?
Typical benefits package, including that. Typically, we would have to go and, okay, well, let’s get this back from the vendor. And yeah, we’ve worked with a lot of the vendors as we go to different projects from client to client. We’ll work with a lot of the same vendors. And a lot of times the formats are very similar, if not identical.
There are always some nuances from customer to customer, it seems like, but I did happen to go out to the Infor marketplace and search for this one particular file and sure enough there was a download for free, a setup for file creation utility, so I could just take that file uploaded directly into my system that I’m working with and there’s my starting point.
And just like that, it’s like I’d say 75 to 80% done without me having to do anything.
Chris Arey
Heck, you love, you know, somebody tells you there’s a resource out there and it does X, Y, and Z and it sounds all good and dandy. And then you go and use it and it helps. It’s just like, man, it’s so great when that happens, you know?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah. Yeah. And a lot of those things are being published by Infor themselves. They’re trying to make their solution more appealing from an end-user perspective, from a technical perspective.
Even a customer that’s been live for a couple of years on HR and benefits, for example, oftentimes companies will change health care providers or retirement providers or benefit providers in general as they evaluate better benefit plans for their employees.
And so you’re rewriting integrations potentially from year to year as those providers change. So Marketplace is a great place to check to start so that you don’t have to start from scratch.
Chris Arey
Yeah. And partners like RPI and customers too can like list solutions and things like that.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yes, there is a process to go through and I’m not sure exactly what that process is, but there is definitely a way for you to publish your own solution.
Chris Arey
Okay, cool. And I heard that there was a shift to the global community website. Is that on a new platform now?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah, so the Infor Communities platform, they’ve kind of migrated, but they did just shift to a new platform. Infor Communities, like I said at the beginning, has always been pretty strong on the Lawson side. There’s been a lot
I know when I first started working with Lawson years ago, I was on an email digest that I got constant emails from, and it was just a community of technical administrators. Hey, I ran into this problem. Does anybody know what to do to solve it?
Chris Arey
Yeah.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
And so you see a lot of that. And so the Infor Communities website is designed to continue that sense of community by helping each other out.
Chris Arey
Whoever is managing websites, assets, and solutions at Infor is doing a good job. And events too.
So thank you for that, Jeremy. Well, we’re getting close to time. It’s been awesome hearing about some of the major highlights for you at the Connect conference. Before we wrap up, as you know, I’d like to ask if there’s any parting wisdom you’d like to share with our audience today.
I invite you to do so now. So what do you have for us?
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah, sure. So I think my general theme that I would come away with is if you’re an import customer currently and you’re not on the on CloudSuite yet, that’s your first move, right?
Getting to CloudSuite and when we do these implementations, right, they’re big projects. So you don’t want to focus on a whole lot of innovation and new technology unless it makes sense.
So get live and then your Day 2 projects are really, okay, well now we’re using the system. How can we use it better?
You’ll have more time to focus on that as a result of being on the cloud. Your technical teams won’t be focusing on installing patches, maintaining the servers, maintaining databases, that type of thing. So they’ll be able to really focus on helping process improvement.
Chris Arey
Yeah, I’m really glad you said that because we just talked about these major findings from Infor Connect.
It’s like, if you want to take advantage of these things and you want to use them and you want to, you know, improve your business, you got to get to the cloud first. That is step number one.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Yeah. Yeah. And once you’re there, I mean, there are so many tools and so many things that are available to customers. And it does become a little overwhelming, especially during an implementation.
Even sometimes I question, like, all right, well, should I do this particular development item using this piece of technology or that technology? And I will say Infor is doing a better job of making recommendations on when to use what tool, and so that definitely becomes a big help.
Chris Arey
And I was going to say that, you know, with so many different things to choose from and knowing what to prioritize, it can be a challenge for those who are really focused on running their business.
So it does benefit to have somebody on your side and in your corner, like RPI, to help you navigate and implement wisely, you know, solutions that are going to make a lasting impact and help you scale for the future.
Jeremy Stoltzfus
Absolutely.
Chris Arey
