Keeping the Lights On with Infor v10 Backfill Support @ Children's Hospital
This children's health system elected to migrate from Infor’s v10 ERP solution to a new Cloud-based ERP platform. In efforts to create a smooth transition to the future state ERP solution and maintain quality Legacy Support for its stakeholders, the organization needed an experienced partner to assist with backfilling highly technical and functional positions. This backfill support model enabled the health system’s team to focus on the new technology, trusting that day-to-day tasks would be handled with consistent quality. ROI’s expert-level Infor practice was selected for this task. During the engagement, the customer achieved the following:
- ROI provided 24+ functional and technical backfill resources to keep Infor v10 stable and functional processes running smoothly across Project Management, Finance, Supply Chain, HR, IT
- Exceptional manager satisfaction with ROI resources’ ability to keep the current system stable, solve issues quickly, and guide the customer in their integration planning for the new ERP platform
- The customer has expressed much appreciation for ROI’s uniquely tailored partnership approach
- Strong team engagement and clarity, driven by ROI’s high-touch employee experience leader
