#### Private AI layer architecture plan: Infor System21

**Body:** Company: {{company}}
System: Infor System21 {{version}}
Database: {{db}}
Hosting: {{hosting}}
Named users: {{users}} across {{sites}} site(s)
Target go-live: {{golive}}

#### 1. Context and goals

**Body:** {{company}} runs Infor System21 ({{version}}) on {{db}} and wants AI-assisted answers without moving data off its own infrastructure.

Primary use cases:
{{usecases}}

The assistant is read-only in phase 1. Any write-back is prepared as a draft and posted only through Infor System21's supported interfaces after a named user approves it.

#### 2. Components

**Table:**

**Columns:**

- Component
- Design
- Notes

**Rows:**

**0:** Data access path

**1:** Read-only named views over System21 libraries via a replica or existing extract

**2:** Module and table trace

**0:** Change capture

**1:** Journal receivers or scheduled extract

**2:** Refresh frequency

**0:** Retrieval index

**1:** Vector index over documents and attachments with access-control metadata, on local storage

**2:** Chunking and refresh schedule to agree

**0:** Tool server

**1:** MCP or REST tool server exposing approved, parameterised read actions

**2:** Action list agreed with business owners

**0:** Model serving

**1:** Open-weight model on vLLM or Ollama; GPU: {{gpu}}

**2:** Model choice validated on {{company}} questions

**0:** Identity and permissions

**1:** Service profile limited to views plus company and function filter

**2:** Security mapping

**0:** Audit

**1:** Log of user, question, query or action, documents retrieved and answer

**2:** Retention set with compliance

#### 3. Security controls mapped to your inputs

**Body:** Hosting model: {{hosting}}. If air-gapped, no outbound route exists for the model, index or tool server, and updates arrive on approved media after scanning.

Data that must never leave the site:
{{never}}

Controls: read-only service account limited to named views, per-user visibility filters in the tool server, encryption at rest on the replica and index, network segmentation between the assistant and production, and an audit trail reviewed on a set schedule.

#### 4. Rollout

**Table:**

**Columns:**

- Phase
- Scope
- Exit criteria

**Rows:**

**0:** 1. Read-only questions

**1:** Named views and a small document set for a pilot group; every answer shows its query or sources

**2:** Pilot users rate answers acceptable on agreed test questions

**0:** 2. Drafts

**1:** Assistant prepares summaries, messages or transaction drafts that are reviewed but not posted

**2:** Drafts accepted with few edits; no data exposure findings

**0:** 3. Approved actions

**1:** Posting through supported interfaces under the approving user's identity

**2:** Audit record complete; business owner sign-off

#### 5. Open questions for IT

**Body:** 1. Which libraries, schemas or organisations are in scope for {{users}} users at {{sites}} site(s)?
2. Can a replica or reporting copy be provided, and with what refresh lag?
3. Which document stores need indexing, and what access rules apply to them?
4. Who owns the data dictionary and approves the action list?
5. What are the power, rack and cooling constraints for GPUs ({{gpu}})?
6. How will model updates be brought in and approved?

#### Approvals

**Signatures:**

- IT lead
- ERP owner
- Information security

**Notes:** A planning aid, not a design guarantee. Verify table names, interfaces and supported versions against your Infor System21 documentation and with your vendor or implementation partner before building.

## Content

**Intro:** This generator turns a few facts about your Infor System21 installation into a structured architecture plan for a private AI layer. It is meant to give IT, the ERP owner and security a shared document to react to, not to replace design work.

**Sections:**

#### How to use the generator

**Body:** Fill in the company, version, database, hosting model, user count and sites. Write the use cases in plain language, for example the five questions users ask most often. List the data that must stay on site, such as pricing, controlled drawings or personal data. Then export the result to PDF or Word and circulate it. The open questions section is designed to start the right conversation with infrastructure and security teams.

**Bullets:**

- Be specific about use cases; vague goals produce vague scope.
- Name data classes, not just systems.
- Choose the hosting model honestly, including air-gapped if required.
- Share the export before buying GPUs.

#### What the blueprint contains

**Body:** The plan has a context section, a component table, security controls mapped to your answers, a three-phase rollout and a list of open questions. The components follow a common pattern: a read-only data path over a replica, a retrieval index, a tool server, a locally served open-weight model, identity mapping and an audit log. The details for Infor System21 reflect how it stores data and handles access.

**Bullets:**

- Read-only first, drafts second, approved actions last.
- Per-user visibility enforced outside the model.
- Every answer traceable to a query or document.
- Air-gapped operation supported by design.

#### Reading the output

**Body:** Treat each table row as a decision to confirm, not a fact. For example, the data access row names a mechanism; your team still has to verify the exact objects in your release. The rollout table gives exit criteria so that each phase has a clear stop or go decision. Pair this blueprint with the sizing calculator to estimate GPU count and the monthly value so that the business case and the architecture agree.

**Bullets:**

- Use the sizing calculator for GPUs and payback.
- Run security review on section 3 before pilot.
- Assign an owner to every open question.

#### Common mistakes

**Body:** The most common mistake is starting with the model instead of the data path and permissions. A good model on top of an unfiltered database is a security incident waiting to happen. The second is skipping the data dictionary: coded table and field names need plain-language descriptions or answers will be unreliable. The third is allowing write access too early. Keep the first phase read-only and measure answer quality before adding drafts.

**Bullets:**

- Do not give the model a database connection.
- Do not skip replica isolation from production.
- Do not index documents without their access rights.
- Do not call it done without an audit log.

**Cta:** If you would like help turning this plan into a working Infor System21 assistant on your own hardware, Netray builds private, on-prem AI layers with partners who know the system.

**Faq:**

#### Does this generator send my data anywhere?

**Answer:** No. The document is generated in your browser from the fields you enter. You choose whether to share the export with anyone, including us.

#### Is the blueprint specific to Infor System21?

**Answer:** The structure is common to any private AI layer, while the data access, change capture and permission rows reflect how Infor System21 stores data and handles access. You should still verify object names and interfaces for your version.

#### Can I use it for an air-gapped site?

**Answer:** Yes. Select the air-gapped hosting option. The security section then states that no outbound route exists and that updates arrive on approved media.

#### Who should review the output?

**Answer:** At minimum the IT lead, the Infor System21 owner and information security. The open questions list is written so each can take away items to answer.
