eXtend ERP is an enterprise software package built by e-Emphasys on the foundation of Infor's ERP LN. For almost a decade, e-Emphasys has enjoyed premier partner status with Infor as a major solution and consulting partner. Building on this foundation, in 2004 Infor and e-Emphasys entered into an exclusive, long-term binding agreement under which e-Emphasys focuses on the development and support of eXtend, while Infor provides strong backing and local services. This unique agreement provides e-Emphasys customers with a significant benefit and assurance that their investment in eXtend ERP is sound.
Infor ERP LN is the key Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application for the equipment industry. Deployed by Caterpillar, Liebherr, Komatsu, Hitachi and thousands of other firms, Infor ERP LN represents the rich foundation of eXtend. Infor's 800+ R&D engineers working on ERP LN combined with e-Emphasys' 110+ R&D engineers focused exclusively on eXtend represent the largest product development group of any company focused on the needs of equipment dealers and rental companies. This ongoing large scale investment by Infor and e-Emphasys ensures that eXtend ERP will remain at the forefront of the latest advances, a significant "future-proofing" benefit for e-Emphasys customers. e-Emphasys leveraged the proven and robust Infor ERP LN as the foundation to develop an industry-vertical solution for equipment dealers and rental companies. eXtend brings enterprise-grade features such as multi-language, multi-currency and integrated support of industry best practices – features that existing legacy point solutions had been lacking. extend ERP provides all of the features and modules required for the industry (Parts, Service, Equipment and Rentals), but also provides access to the Infor ERP LN modules for manufacturing, tools, project management, transportation and much more. eXtend ERP being built on the Infor ERP LN foundation provides open support for hardware, operating system and database choices that best suit the needs of your organization. This allows companies to obsolescence-proof their platform choices. e-Emphasys customers are not locked into proprietary and expensive platforms and are free to switch vendors and take advantage of technological advances at any time. e-Emphasys leveraged more than a decade of experience implementing ERP software in over a dozen countries to develop and fine-tune our proprietary StepFAST Implementation Methodology. Today, StepFAST provides support for rapid eXtend implementations that keep costs on budget. On-time and on-budget implementation is important for our customers and is one of the factors behind e-Emphasys' unparalleled 100% implementation success rate for eXtend. The success of eXtend promises the company's sustained and rapid growth will continue as e-Emphasys launches its second decade in business.
