BACKGROUND
Background
Staff is requesting authority to renew the software agreement with Infor (US), LLC for the pursuit of maintaining our current INFOR/Lawson system and services. The County uses Infor/Lawson for Human Resources and Payroll processing as well as capital asset tracking and depreciation. Infor/Lawson’s account structure is maintained parallel to Munis, the County’s ERP, to ensure the necessary accounting entries can be imported into Munis.
The one year renewal is in the amount of $671,706, which represents a 5.4% increase over our current agreement amount of $637,313. The base contract allows for an up to 6% annual increase, or CPI, whichever is greater; however, through a review of prior year billing and utilization, Lawson reduced the increase to 5.4%.
The Lawson system will no longer be supported by Infor at the end of calendar 2030. The adopted FY27 Budget includes a multiyear FY27 ERP Optimization project ordinance for the replacement of the enterprise resource planning system for Human Resources. Once the replacement system is implemented, including Payroll processing as well as capital asset tracking and depreciation, this separate expense will no longer be required. The earliest this is expected to occur is FY30.
