Overwhelmed by Infor S2P Integration? Let Us Handle the Complexity

Unlock Complete Spend Control with Our Infor Integration Services

Businesses in all industries are under intense cost and growth pressures. To stay ahead, controlling and optimising corporate spend is more critical than ever. Achieving a single source of spend truth to drive this control and optimisation is not easy. You need to connect all your spend data into one place – a Source to Pay (S2P) platform. Integrating your S2P platform with Infor can be a challenging activity. It’s a complex undertaking, many organisations face integration issues that lead to:

  • Inaccurate Decision-Making: Misaligned data hinders strategic decision-making.
  • Inefficient Processes: Time and resources are wasted on manual data management.
  • Limited Spend Control: Disconnected systems prevent holistic spend oversight.

If you’re facing these issues, you’re not alone. Research indicates:

  • 1 in 3 leaders struggle to trust the data they use for decision-making. (source)
  • 97% of businesses admit their data quality is insufficient. Over half of their data is problematic. (source)
  • More than 70% of companies don’t have fully integrated systems. (source)

That’s where we come in. Our Epicor IaaS takes on the heavy lifting of integration, so you don’t have to.

Valtatech: Your Infor Integration Partner

We know that integrating data between your ERP and other platforms is not easy. It’s often more complex than expected and needs significant IT resources. Our Integration-as-a-Service (IaaS) does the hard work of integrations for you. Our team specialises in connecting Infor and other systems to your S2P platform. We ensure you can achieve a unified view of your corporate spend. Epicor has a lot of nuances which adds complexity to the integration process. Our team of integration experts have helped many businesses overcome integration challenges like:

Complexities Integrating with Multiple Modules

Infor has a modular architecture, with components like General Ledger (GL) and Accounts Payable (AP). This often results in data being spread across many disconnected tables. To integrate successfully you need in-depth knowledge of Infor’s backend structure. This data needs to be collated and transformed for your S2P platform to ensure data accuracy.

Navigating Custom Configurations and User Fields

Infor allows for extensive customisation. This usually results in changes in tables like AP Distribution and PO Header. This adds an extra layer of complexity when integrating with a S2P platform. Each customisation must be mapped and accounted for in the integration process.

Integrating with Ming.le

Infor’s Ming.le can pose significant integration challenges. You need an understanding of how workflow events and approvals are handled. Then how these can be mirrored to fit into the S2P ecosystem. This requires both S2P process expertise and Infor expertise.

Timing and Accuracy of Data Synchronisation

Achieving real-time data synchronisation between Infor and your S2P platform is critical. The volume of data and Infor’s architecture can make this challenging. Data can be updated at different intervals across various systems. Any misalignment in this timing can cause discrepancies in spend data. This can lead to delayed reporting and decision-making.

These challenges can pose technical hurdles for internal IT teams. This can result in integration projects taking up huge amounts of time and resources. This can prove to be a costly and slow exercise. That’s why many businesses have asked us to manage the hard work of integrations for them.
