SAP to Infor LN Migration Assessment Framework

When SAP to Infor LN Makes Sense

Not every SAP customer should consider Infor LN. The strongest candidates are project-based manufacturers (aerospace, defense, industrial equipment) running SAP ECC who face a mandatory S/4HANA migration. The cost of moving to S/4HANA often exceeds the cost of switching to Infor LN, especially when factoring in the technical migration complexity SAP requires for its own platform upgrade.

• S/4HANA migration typically costs 1.5-3x the original SAP ECC implementation
• Infor LN implementation for SAP migrants averages 40-60% of S/4HANA migration cost
• Project manufacturing functionality in LN matches or exceeds the SAP PS module
• Annual SAP licensing and maintenance savings of 30-50% reported by switching companies

Critical Assessment Areas

A thorough SAP to Infor LN assessment must cover functional fit, integration landscape, data migration complexity, organizational readiness, and total cost modeling. The most commonly underestimated areas are SAP custom transactions (Z-transactions) that embed critical business logic, and the integration ecosystem built on ABAP interfaces that have no direct LN equivalent.

• Z-transaction inventory: Average SAP site has 200-800 custom transactions to evaluate
• Integration complexity: IDOC, BAPI, and RFC interfaces need complete redesign for LN
• Master data governance: SAP MDG processes must be replicated in Infor's framework
• User retraining: SAP users average 80-120 hours to reach proficiency in Infor LN
