(Max Capacity/Registered: 24/2)
12:00 PM
9:00 AM
10/21/2025
Room: Hearthside
This is the first half of our 5-hour hands-on training session targeting those somewhat new to Enterprise Integrator (EI) who would like to go beyond tailoring the User Interface (i.e. screen layouts) and understand the technical capabilities of EI and how to use it to augment and customize your Infor ERP installation to your organizational needs. This workshop is targeted to the technical oriented who want to explore the application extension capabilities of the EI framework by extending the UI over your user-owned database and/or programs to augment the XA user experience. We will work through exercises on logical attributes, code files, action buttons, edits and audits, field level security, discrete domains, relationships, transactions, host processes and publish and subscribe for both Infor and user-owned objects. IDF in XA will be used for class demonstrations and documentation but those using IDF in another ERP may attend and follow along as well since each student will connect to their own system and business environment to perform the class exercises. This allows students to use their own objects, tables and source files where they are most comfortable and for easy reference post-workshop!

Bridging the Gap: Solving the ERP Disconnect with AI-Driven MES
8:00 AM
7:30 AM
10/22/2025
Room: Woodland C
"In this coffee session, we’ll explore the “ERP Disconnect,” sharing why legacy planning and execution systems fall short, and how MachineMetrics is redefining the category with Production Intelligence: an AI-powered execution layer that continuously aligns ERP plans with live production conditions. Built from the ground up using real-time machine data, MachineMetrics delivers an AI-powered, modular MES that integrates natively with ERP systems like Infor XA. With this foundation, the platform offers out-of-the-box solutions for work order management, scheduling intelligence, downtime tracking, and OEE analytics. More than visibility, MachineMetrics delivers intelligent execution, leveraging AI agents to recommend actions, guide decision-making, and autonomously align ERP plans with real-time shop floor realities. In this session, you will learn: • Why traditional ERP and MES approaches struggle to keep up with shop floor realities • How Production Intelligence continuously aligns plans with live production conditions • What AI agents look like in a modern MES, and how they support CI, planners, supervisors, and operators • Practical strategies for achieving ERP-MES integration without heavy customization"

Fact or Fiction: My IBM i Is Secure
8:00 AM
7:30 AM
10/22/2025
Room: Woodland B
IBM i has been around for over 35 years now – evolving from the AS/400 to the cutting-edge operating system we know it as today. In that time, IBM i has shifted from being isolated and inherently secure to being interconnected and vulnerable without the proper security procedures in place. Has your security evolved to meet today’s needs? Join Tom Huntington, Fortra’s Executive Vice President of Technical Solutions and 10-year IBM Champion, as we explore this question, among others, including: • Is IBM i susceptible to Malware/Ransomware? • Is your database safe because it is behind the firewall? • Are you comfortable with your object security? • If you aren’t responsible for the protection of your IBM i data, who is? Tom has been educating customers on IBM i security, operations, backups, high availability, business intelligence and many other topics. Let’s have some coffee, donuts, and enjoy a conversation around IBM i.

We have multi-sourcing in XA. But did you ever encounter the case where you can manufacture an item(revision) according to different processes (BOM and routing)? And now you want to plan this in MRP because your machine capacity (or the vendors delivery capacity) is limited on both process? Or you want MRP to propose an alternate process based on a shortage of a component (like in phase out of one component at end of inventory) It boils down to having MRP propose another process than the price.
