Infor dEPM Initial Setup

Ansa Leonard - PeerSpot reviewer

The initial setup is not difficult, and I believe it's manageable. However, from a user's perspective, it can be somewhat cumbersome, particularly when attempting to utilize workflows and make posts. The process can be time-consuming, and I need to set it up properly.

Initially, the setup and configuration are similar to Jedox, if that's what you're familiar with in terms of products. We follow a well-defined plan for each of our custom-built models. It's important to plan the development process based on understanding the end-user requirements and deliverables. By planning backward, we can ensure better design and easier model delivery.

It's deployed on AWS, specifically the private cloud. They also offer a multi-tenant cloud solution, but there's a distinct on-premise version as well. The on-premise version provides more end-user insight and caters to different needs.

It was 20 years ago in regards to the initial setup. As I recall, it's not that easy. That's why we were hesitating. We have another mother company now and we should have used the corporate solution, however, we hesitated to move to the corporate solution. It's a complicated situation to move and integrate to a different solution in that environment.

Infor dEPM is very easy to deploy. I'd give it a ten out of ten for for ease of deployment. First, we find out the customer's requirements and create a demo for their specific needs. Next, we customize the solution to handle the customer's requirements. We then train the customers and start implementing their live data.

Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month.

Initial setup is straightforward. You only need to know which parts of the solution you need to install and on what kind of server/OS.

It's a very straightforward setup. The vendor guides you through the design and initial setup.

The main areas of complexity related to configuring the system to meet the unique Statutory and Tax reporting requirements of Nigeria. We also utilised the full range of Q&A XL functionality to facilitate the unique processes involved in Joint Venture accounting which is required in most Oil & Gas companies.

I don’t know how the initial setup was, but it was definitely very poorly implemented with no automation.

My first implementation was so straightforward because the client was implementing only the Ledger module which was so easy. However, afterwards, they decided to add another module which became a little complex.
