Analysts Response
"With OA, Lawson offers a highly valuable service and has a lead on the other players in the industry."
"Lawson OA is a vast improvement on the ROI calculators that tend to be used in the decision-making phase of enterprise application deployments."
"There are a number of ROI tools available – essentially glorified spreadsheets – but these only provide limited value. Even the top-tier ERP vendors tend to only offer similar calculation tools."
"The full OA service is currently charged at US$60,000, and the ROI that it can deliver can be extremely high."
"Historically, the deployment of applications such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) has been a hit and miss affair, with relatively few delivering real, measurable success rates."
"OA helps by working with executives and process owners in a top-down/bottom-up manner to map, target, and then plan which business objectives will really bring significant business value, and then aligning these with process improvement projects (based on industry best practices). "

"This software application is exciting, and the best-executed software application in any product category we have seen this year."
"Lawsons's solution is simply better executed than rival offerings."
"Lawson's solution does a better job of allowing the company's core drivers to be visualized and manipulated than any other EPM solution ARC has seen."
"Lawson has done a great job incorporating best practices into the application, and showing the associated financial impact of operating with best practices."
