A number of years ago, I wrote a LawsonGuru Letter article titled “Lawson’s Quality Crisis”. I really had high hopes that Lawson was turning the corner on these problems as part of their various initiatives (including their adoption of better CMM practices, the Xansa partnership, etc.) (more…)

Bonus!: LWSN and Dogfood ?!?
I was copied on this email from a Lawson client, who was addressing their concerns to Lawson: Making the commitment to use your own products is a matter of scale and features. For some businesses and some products, it may be the right decision; for others, that may not be the case.
We are getting conflicting information from Lawson on this subject. (more…)

A few days ago, Oracle sued SAP in what could turn into a very ugly case. Depending on the merits and outcome of this case (which I’ll get to shortly), it could mean a rude wake-up call for any firm doing ERP consulting work. (more…)
My Thoughts on CUE 2007
March 8, 2007 · 1 Comment
Even though I didn’t attend Lawson CUE this year in San Diego, I did receive my usual eyewitness reports. I also viewed the video feeds of keynotes and listened in on the executive/analyst briefings. And, naturally, I do have my opinions.

Does Lawson Own a Time Machine?
March 6, 2007 · No Comments
Seth Godin writes in his blog today (http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2007/03/time_machines.html about the use of time manipulation by customer service employees in order to achieve “customer satisfaction”. I often feel the same way when I hear Lawson tout its “successful support call” completion rates.

Where Have All The (Lawson) People Gone?
July 22, 2005 · 4 Comments
I have a number of clients who are looking to fill various Lawson-related positions, and simply can’t find anyone. Even in DC–a major metro area.
It’s kind of scary that there really aren’t any people looking. You would think with the economic gloom and outsourcing and offshoring that we’ve had over the past few years that there would be a huge pool of available resources, but there really isn’t.
Which means that people with Lawson knowledge are in high demand, or that there is so a low demand for Lawson skills, and that means nobody is available. Same issue, viewed from two different angles I guess.
