Presents all information in one place and automates some of our manual processes
This product is used by more than 50 colleges in our state and it is purchased by the government. The system office does the testing and pushes out the patches to us, so everything has been testing. Even if there is any customization that needs to be done, it happens before it comes to us. As such, I haven't had to contact technical support myself.
Enrique Hernandez - PeerSpot reviewer
A robust solution with excellent support that needs to modernize its server technology
Infor LX has a great strength but a great weakness too. Its strength is that it's based on AS/400 or Power i, a robust technology and platform. However, it is harder to manage admin most of the time. For example, you must have a skilled network admin who knows AS/400. If you want to make any customizations or satellite apps in LX, you must have somebody who knows AS/400 programming. That's RLPG programming. Infor LX has a robust infrastructure, but it has room for improvement. It should have a more modern framework. I know that the last version, 8.3.5 has some improvements in Java, but I will be looking into some platforms other than AS/400. They run a cloud version, but that wasn't our case because we didn't migrate it. But the on-premise version has room for improvement. I would incorporate more modern technology and not base it on AS/400.
