Why Infor Support Falls Short
Infor's support challenges stem from the complexity of their product portfolio and the depth of LN customization at most sites. Tier 1 support analysts often lack the deep LN expertise needed to diagnose complex issues. Escalation to Tier 2 or Tier 3 adds days or weeks.
The knowledge base articles are frequently outdated or too generic to be useful. Organizations that have reduced their internal LN expertise are most vulnerable—they depend entirely on Infor for knowledge that Infor struggles to deliver quickly.
- Average first response time of 24-48 hours for Severity 2 issues reported by LN customers
- Tier 1 resolution rate below 30% for LN-specific technical issues requiring deep product knowledge
- Knowledge base articles covering less than 40% of common LN configuration and error scenarios
- Escalation process adding 5-10 business days for issues requiring developer-level investigation
Alternative Support Channels
Smart LN organizations build a multi-layered support ecosystem. Independent LN consultancies provide faster, more experienced support for a retainer fee. The Infor User Group and Baanboard communities offer peer-to-peer expertise.
Internal knowledge bases capture solutions to recurring issues. AI-powered support tools can diagnose common problems instantly. The goal is to resolve 80% of issues without Infor and reserve Infor support for bugs and product defects.
- Retain an independent LN consultancy for 20-40 hours/month of on-demand expert support
- Participate actively in Infor LN user groups and Baanboard forums for community expertise
- Build an internal knowledge base documenting solutions to every issue resolved—including Infor tickets
- Cross-train at least 2-3 internal staff on core LN administration to handle routine issues
AI-Powered LN Support
Netray's AI agents provide instant diagnosis for common LN issues by analyzing error patterns, log files, and configuration states. The agents draw on knowledge from thousands of LN implementations to suggest solutions in seconds rather than days. For complex issues, the agents prepare detailed diagnostic information that accelerates resolution whether you engage Infor or a third-party consultant.
