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.

IT Director at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

When you're speaking about easy and difficult, you are going to the dimension that depends on the ability and skills of the people involved in the setup. I'm the IT & Logistics company director. So in terms of me as an IT director in my company, I saw that the people that made the configuration did it easily. They have the really good skills to get it working, but it depends. If you don't have the right people with the right skills, then it will be different. The deployment process took place over less than one year, to be precise around ten months, including the process start and development testing. However, I must say that I'm referring to something that was the passage from BPCS to Infor LX. Because, let's say, we had to make a need to remediate or, let's say, a reinstallation for a change in company structure, then it will take two months. But it was really a reinstallation of the same setup with some minor changes to the configuration. The proper full project was for ten months.
