Every business deserves the best from the best. There is nothing more satisfying than getting a solution that meets your expectations. Choosing an ERP system should always be based on your business goals and ambitions. At all times, every entrepreneur will need the best, and there exist aspects to use in determining the best solution. There are also many ERPs in the market, and you have to make a decision on which to integrate into your business. In this blog, we are going to clearly outline why NetSuite ERP is better than Infor ERP and other ERP solutions.
1. With Infor ERP, There Is More Than Just ERP
Infor is made up of approximately 100 products and more than 10 ERP-related products. That is not all; most of the products are acquired through third parties. Therefore, the original design, data structure, architecture, and security protocols are not initiated by Infor. As a result, these products might have different designs, upgrade cycles, and architectures leading to different requirements for maintenance and management. Consequently, your business can also incur extra costs for customizations, upgrades, and breakdowns because all products are independent and run on different models.
That is not the case or norm with NetSuite. With more than 32,000 NetSuite customers, they all run one integrated solution. All NetSuite customers receive upgrades bi-annually, and all customizations are always carried over through each upgrade. Besides, customers have access to demo accounts that are used for optimization and developing risk mitigation strategies in cases where a breakdown is anticipated.
2. Data Models Differ with Infor ERP
The data model says a lot about an ERP system or any software solution. With Infor products being obtained from various sources, the data models will never be in sync. This means that you will need additional middleware software to help you transfer and process data to information in a more effective and efficient way.
Normally, businesses require middleware when integrating an ERP solution with other third-party solutions, such as WooCommerce but not when dealing with products of the same solution. Without Open Network (ON) middleware, there is no way you can connect external and some internal systems in Infor ERP.
Netsuite has a single data model and is fully integrated with essential systems such as CRM, ERP, WSM, etc. Therefore, you can run your business entirely from one platform and access data without having to use middleware. This makes NetSuite a perfect solution.
3. Infor Batch Updates
Reporting is one of the essential processes of any ERP system. Infor ERP requires batch updating for reporting capabilities. This is because Infor ERP uses ON middleware to connect with products and databases. Due to the fact that there is middleware involved, the process can be time-consuming and sometimes can fail to complete leading to system errors. Such instances can be big blows to businesses.
With NetSuite, all your business’ data is automated, and updates are in real-time hence leading to accurate and streamlined reporting. In fact, NetSuite real-time reporting is trusted by customers in over 200 countries.
4. Infor Consists Of Cloud and On-Premise Solutions
As your business grows, there are several products that may be integrated to boost the processes. Infor has acquired several cloud, hybrid, and on-premise products. Having different packages is just adding up to the complexities of the system. Also, maintaining, updating, and securing Servers are costly and can stretch the IT resources budget leaving out important IT tasks that could have generated income for the company. Basically, on-premise systems are very expensive to maintain and can limit growth opportunities.
NetSuite’s main and unique feature is that it is designed to operate in the Cloud. With a reliable internet connection, NetSuite customers have the privilege of accessing data anywhere in the world with their mobile devices. NetSuite is a true definition of cloud service because it seamlessly and natively connects with data in real-time.
