We are experts in the latest Infor technologies, using highly skilled architectural design to create innovative solutions in your Infor M3 project.
Our technical consultants can combine several Infor OS and M3 technologies (like "Mashups", "Javascripts", "ION workflows", "Mforms automation", "Webservices" and "API's") to create a unique user experience.

Custom M3 integration services
Import / Export Data to / from M3
Infor Grid Maintenance
- New M3 programs creation in Java, using M3 Adaptation Kit (MAK), according to Infor guidelines, to fit customers requirements not covered by standard version.
- Customization & extension of existing programs, using M3 Adaptation Kit (MAK), according to Infor guidelines, to improve functionality (for example, adding new sorting orders and views, new fields to existing screens, etc.).
- Technical Analysis elaboration & time budgeting.
- Create Javascript extensions for the H5 client or Infor Smart-Office client, to help improve user experience, for example:
* add new columns to views or custom fields to existing M3 panels;
* automate tasks (using MForms automation and or M3 API's);
* bring information from several M3 programs and "condense" it in one unique panel / screen;
* import / export data from/to other external applications, like for example MS Excel or MS Access or even a different ERP system;
- Combining several technologies, like M3 ION Gateway API's, H5 Scripting (Javascript) and M3 webservices design & API's, we can create beautiful custom Dashboards, to display information on a graphical and interactive manner.
- I.D.M. Setup & configuration, to seamless integrate with desired M3 programs
- Business Context model definition & setup
- Document types creation & attributes definition
- Access Control List (ACL) management
- I.D.M. REST API use for JAVA & Javascript Development (for example, to integrate documents from external Document Management solutions with M3 and or I.D.M.)
- Business Object Documents (BODs) are xml files used to exchange information between the several Infor business applications and are also a method used to integrate with M3 ERP. Several Infor source systems publish BODs which can be consumed by other systems, to upload data, drill down information, etc.
- Our services include configuration of the needed BODs to interact with M3, according to our customers needs, or even develop new ones, when they are not available as a standard functionality.
- Our custom built BODs can then integrate with ION Workflows (or other Infor OS applications). An example of such would be the need of an approval workflow, for the creation of a Supplier Bank account. As there's no standard BOD for Supplier Bank accounts, we could develop a custom one, allowing the calling of an ION workflow to send an approval task to Finance Dept users.
- Our technical team can bring data from "legacy" systems into M3, from multiple sources, like ODBC compatible systems, or even from an MS Excel worksheet.
- Our services in this chapter include data transforming (if required) and "upload" to Infor M3. For example, customer data, supplier data, item data, bill of material data, work centers, inventory, accounting, etc., or even customer orders, manufacturing orders or purchase orders. It is also possible to provide our customers with an easy way to "download" the same information from M3 to "legacy" or third party systems if needed.
- To facilitate data migration works, we have designed a "proprietary" MS Excel tool which can be easily used by our customers to execute any existing M3 API (standard or custom), and upload or download data into/from Infor M3.
- Connection points definition & setup on ION Desk
- Monitors, workflows and activation policies setup, on ION Desk, to automate M3 daily tasks, like, for example:
* notify an user of a goods receipt;
* block automatically a customer order due to credit limit, and send a notification & approval workflow for Finance Dept.;
* notify a Customer order responsible that his/her customer order has been allocated sooner than expected, and send a reschedule workflow, to anticipate delivery;
* block suppliers from being used upon creation and send an approval workflow to Finance Dept.;
- Configure standard M3 output documents & layout, on ExStream, StreamServe or Storyteller.
- Create new custom output documents or extend the existing ones & modify its layout, according to customer requirements, on ExStream, StreamServe or Storyteller.
- Using M3 Webservices Designer, it's possible to create new webservices which you can use call on H5 client or Infor Smart-Office, to display data, perform some automation tasks, or import/export data.
- We can extend functionality of existing M3 API's, or even create new ones, for those programs which do not have a standard API "equivalent", using MAK (Java).
- Our custom built API's are integrated on M3's MRS001 (MI Repository) and on Infor ION API repository, so that it is possible to call them from within ION Workflows, for example, or by an external ERP or application, using REST Services.
- M.E.C. configuration & setup
- Partner Administrator configuration & setup
- Mappings setup, configuration and activation (integration with EventHub & EventAnalytics tools)
- New mapping development (using Mapping tool & JAVA)
- Our technical team has proved experience integrating M3 with third party ERPs and external applications, like for example, Salesforce (c) or ServiceNow (c).
- We can create ION API connectors for remote apps, and build custom M3 programs that can be either scheduled on SHS010, or integrated on an existing subsystem via MNS051, to automatically and periodically synchronize information with third party applications.
- Infor grid maintenance services, like configure app heap size, security roles, and Infor applications property adjustments for better performance.
- Infor applications configuration and parameter adjustment, as required by our customers.
- Installation of Infor applications patches or updates.
- Infor M3 specifics & Country Pack installation and configuration.
- Infor Grid Status report analysis, to troubleshoot eventual technical problems with M3 installation or other Infor OS apps (program dumps, memory or connection issues, etc.)
Our services can cover all the stages in your Infor M3 implementation:
From initial definition, assessment and requirement discovery to project scoping, from business process design to M3 modules setup and configuration, from development of new M3 features fitting your needs to solution deployment, from user training to post "go-live" support, from system integrations to eventual version upgrades!
We can be a part of your internal team, working closely with you, or act independently, as a contractor, helping you get the most out of your investment.
