Software of Lawson (Nasdaq: LWSN), sat in the street Paul, Minnesota, the United States (US), and with offices around the world, provides solutions of software and service to approximately 4.000 customers in industries of manufacture, distribution, maintenance and service sector through 40 countries. Its solutions include the management of the output of company (EPM), the management of chain of provisioning (SCM), the planning of entrepreneurial resource (ERP), the management of report/ratio of customer (CRM), planning of the means of manufacture (MRP II), management of inheritance of company (EAM) and applications industry-worked.
Lawson was not recently shown to be too enthralling, tincelant or thus, at least not compared there is at one decade, when its machine luisante of formerly of sale opened hang like obvious applications in oneself (SEA), drill-around, of the applications Web-accessible from and so on. Some recent attempts by espionnant responsibility (CSR) and a spot full with spirit for sale on YouTube were noted (even recognized by competition), though with mixed reviews/reception.
Nevertheless, to grant the proverb always races sprinkle deeply, the relative calm of Lawson certainly does not mean that the supplier was not in activity in the field and his laboratories of the research and development (research and development). I was informed of many recent movements to be carried out on the roadmaps which were described with the conference of the SELECTION 2007 of the supplier. In order to provide a viable alternative at SAP, Oracle or Infor, the supplier had launched (or is approximately to launch) much of products, and also had reorganized its booklet of products along the five strategic products below:
1. Lawson m3 for companies of manufacture and distribution [evaluate this product];
2. Lawson S3 for companies of performances of service [evaluate this product];
3. Management of the human capital of Lawson (Lawson HCM) [evaluate this product];
4. Platform of productivity of user of Lawson - to be soon detailed; and
5. Base systems of Lawson (LSF) - a fundamental pile of technology, mainly based on the pile of IBM WebSphere, which allows the separate ways of migration for the applications of Lawson and its platform of technology.
The company is concentrated much on the selected vertical markets (C. - with-D., organizations of health care of all the sizes, plus the food of semi-market, the fashion/clothing, the wholesale distribution, and the hiring and service firms of the equipment). In fact, Lawson functions to become more than right a viable alternative on these markets - but rather an obvious choice.
The great articles of title for the future (probably to be announced with SELECTION the 2008 next week in Las Vegas) should include the release of the new user interface (UI) Smart Office called.Its part, smart customer, belonged to Lawson m3 during more than one year and have many customers of phase. It is the answer of Lawson to the duet of Sève-Microsoft or other suppliers of ERP like products of offspring of the economic applications of office (OBA). The new UI will be applied to the products of Lawson m3 and Lawson S3.
Smart office UI will be constant with a new version of the business intelligence of Lawson (LBI) - also built for Lawson m3 and Lawson S3 (in fact, LBI for Lawson m3 is also an important occasion of cross-sales for the company). Moreover, one new version of Lawson ProcessFlow, a business application of course of operation, was also established for the smart office and Lawson m3 and the S3 lines.
Lawson also increases its platform of productivity of user to require much more than the smart initiatives mentioned above of customer, ProcessFlow and LBI. The platform also comprises integration with Microsoft Office (produced including collaboration of groove), with which assistance with being able, for example, the functions of hour of launching of the list or to have contact of the prospects the department for hour maintain its own structure direct of reports/ratios in Microsoft Outlook.
Moreover, the users can empty data (of export) with an assessment of Microsoft Excel, change the assessment, and then interactivement have the update of assessment being at the base of the applications of Lawson (with full possibilities of edition). The effort of Lawson here is to let users work in theirs to have the space, which is the place where they want to pass the majority of their time. For example, the directors pass the major part of their time from the point of view, and they should thus be able to make transactions of hour of the interior of the prospects.
A certain excitation and raise and cross-country race-salt of the occasions (even not with the users of ERP of Lawson) can come from new solutions of industry, such as the management of contract (for the health care and the public sectors, like OS Lawson S3 of part), ventilate them (for all the manufacturers and distributors, as an element of Lawson m3) and the engine of trace (for the manufacture and the distribution of food, also the part of Lawson m3).
Lawson of support HCM
A particular strategic sector of ardante activity was in the space of HCM. It too astonishing, is not given the roots of management of the Lawson time and the recent realization of the market of strategic importance of the employees full-time and the contingent and provisional labour.
Lawson invests with the intention to go well to the world chief by providing the integrated solutions of HCM, and the serious competitor of HCM at Oracle PeopleSoft, Kronos and SAP. The development efforts were recently concentrated on systems of building like the acquisition of talent, management of the output, management of the services, learning management, and the management of succession.
I would imagine many resounding improvements along these lines to be revealed with the SELECTION 2008. Ordway called, the continuation of HCM slated also to be the very first delivered product writes (at least new modules mentioned above) in the limiting architecture of terminal of Lawson.
Moreover, whereas the continuation is built like software like service (SaaS) offering, it most probably still will be at the beginning offered in the traditional model of on-places. I ask for myself why a so careful approach, given that the model of SaaS in the space of HCM up to now was proven by the companies like the software, the ADP, Taleo and Authoria final, to call but ones?
One piece absent criticizes effort of the HCM of Lawson was a robust solution of management of labour which includes time and assistance (T&A) and establishment of the program of resource. For this purpose, in late February 2008, Lawson acquired VasTech, a supplier of software and services of management of labour, sat at Annapolis, Maryland, the USA, with 45 employees. The transaction, which is awaited to be closed in March 2008, is not designed to have a material impact over quarters tax of the company the 2008 fourth or the 2009 taxable incomes (the financial year of Lawson finishes on May 31, 2008).
With these acquisition, plans of Lawson to offer soon to customers in industries of health care (and probably in hospitality and the play, though later on) a advanced solution of personnel and establishment of the programme of management of labour to supplement the offers of Lawson HCM. Sufficiencies of VasTech which notch for Lawson right at the good moment, with the strategic solution of HCM to releasing with the SELECTION 2008.
Organizations of health care, in particular, are disputed to control their operational conditions and chronic staff shortages while providing the patient care of high-quality. By providing the possibilities of management of labour which help to address the latter the principal challenges, Lawson pawns to continue to reinforce its position of leadership in the industry of health care.
The new management solution of the labour of Lawson will also aim at helping of the health care of the organizations to control a series of conformity and the report disputes associated with the initiatives with safety, the productivity of work and the levels of personnel. It is particularly important for hospitals because they face strict conformity to the standards of personnel of effectiveness of the common Commission - an organization of standardization which evaluates and accredits suppliers of health care.
The mill of rumour indicates to me that Lawson was interested to buy a system of establishment of the program of labour during some time (for example, the former Workbrain associate, before Infor bought the company for a heavy premium above the asking price).
Consequently, the motivation of Lawson' T here is simple and clear, since it has a certain number of organizations of health care (approximately 400 organizations, with more than 7.000 hospitals) function on applications of Lawson hour. All these customers have the needs for establishment of the program, and VasTech 24/7 is a product of establishment of the special program of health care (offering shift of nurse, for example).
All the things being equal, these hospitals will probably buy this application of Lawson and not other suppliers (for example, api, Kronos, Infor, etc) if Lawson has its own offer. If the company manages to sell it with other types of organizations at a certain moment - which would be large, but the business is led by the conditions of the segment of health care.
While the future management solution of labour of Lawson will be probably adapted to serve several industries, Lawson adopted an approach very deliberated in its research on the good strategic acquisition. The supplier wanted the best solution for the vertical of health care, by which the establishment of the program of nurse is an important challenge in the hospitals, and VasTech has a solution proven for this challenge.
Once combined with the management of the output of Lawson for the solution of health care (which it acquired 18 months ago as old solutions of evaluation of competence [CASE]) and its strategic continuous developments of HCM, this acquisition of VasTech should give to Lawson the best (gives probably downwards) comprehensive solution of HCM for health care. Almost all the customers of VasTech are companies of health care, with specific functions of establishment of the program of nurse (offers shift, qualifications, etc), and this market was the driver of Lawson for this business.
Which are your sights, comments, opinion, etc about the movements of the HCM of Lawson in general and in the sector of health care intrinsically? We would be also interested by your experiments with this category of software (if you are an existing user) or in your of general interest to evaluate these solutions as prospect customers.
