When will Lawson version 10 no longer be supported?
|
Hi gurus! Wondering if anyone has clarity on when maintream maintenance, i.e., standard support will go away for Infor v10.

Also, I imagine that if there is standard support, there is non-standard support, and I'm curious what is the premium on that? Thanks. Read More

I'd like to remove as much manual processing from this process as I can, but am discouraged by what I have so far found to be my options for doing so. Read More
