Infor is leading in the development of role-based analytics for legacy ERP systems as a means to upsell their large customer base. This development of role-based analytics on the ERP side is being matched only by a few studies of how effective this integration is from a long-term strategy standpoint (Subramoniam, Tounsi, Krishnankutty, 2009). The value of workflows, BPM and BPR from a productivity standpoint are well proven (Fakas, Karakostas,1999). The integration of analytics and BI into process workflows is nascent and emerging however, with the catalyst of role-based analytics in ERP systems being a market driver in conjunction with risk reduction (Bosilj-Vuksic, Indihar-Stemberger, Kovacic, 2008). The value of analytics and BI in more complex workflows and process management has much potential, yet has been constrained to this point based on user adoption and systems integration technologies. Conclusion

Analytics...

This is a nascent area however and one that requires quantification of operations-based and financial data over the long-term to be successful (Bosilj-Vuksic, Indihar-Stemberger, Kovacic, 2008).
