WHO DOES WHAT
Your team builds it. ECS makes sure it's right.
You shouldn't have to choose between relying on consultants forever and figuring it out alone. ECS designs the solution and the learning plan, a qualified instructor teaches, your team builds, and ECS checks the result before you sign off.
| Step | ECS | Instructor | Your team |
|---|---|---|---|
| Find the opportunity | Leads | — | Takes part |
| Design the solution and acceptance criteria | Owns | Reviews | Approves |
| Set the learning plan and materials | Owns | Contributes | Confirms |
| Teach the live sessions | Oversees | Leads | Learns |
| Make the changes in your test environment | Guides | Assists | Builds |
| Check the result against the acceptance criteria | Owns | Supplies evidence | Tests and signs off |
| Move changes to production | — | — | Your administrator |
| Track progress and the next improvement | Owns | Reports | Sets priorities |
The instructor is an ECS associate or an approved partner consultant trained in the ECS method. Same package, same price, either way.
What "verified" means
The result passes the acceptance criteria agreed before work starts, the evidence is documented, and your team signs off. For a tie-out, that means the agreed dates and populations tie, and every difference is explained with its cause, not just a zero at the bottom.
FEATURED REPORTS
One delivered report, made better, every month.
Each month we take a report Infor already delivers and show your team how to make it do more. Fixed price. Live in a week once your readiness check passes. Checked against your ledger before go-live.
FEATURED · NOVEMBERBudget Watch
Stop answering the same budget questions every month.
Give each department manager a view of their own budget, actual spending and overruns, with drill-down to the transactions behind them.
Live in one week once readiness is confirmed. Supported for three more.
BEFORE
Finance builds spreadsheets and answers the same budget questions.
AFTER
Managers check their own budgets. Finance handles the exceptions.

INCLUDED WITH EVERY FEATURED REPORT · YOUR 30-DAY REPORTING ADVANTAGE PREVIEW
See the monthly value before you decide to continue.
WEEK 1
Solve one problem
Your team makes the changes in a guided workshop. We check the result against the agreed outcome and your ledger.
WEEKS 2–4
Prove it works
Three weekly check-ins while your team uses it. We clear blockers within scope and note what else would help.
WEEK 4 · AFTER YOUR THIRD CHECK-IN
Show the business value
A separate 30-minute executive briefing: your first Value Scorecard, a prioritized improvement list and a 90-day plan. Estimates are labeled as estimates, never counted as savings.
THEN
You decide
Continue with ECS Reporting Advantage from $4,500 a month, or stop with your finished report and handover materials. Nothing renews automatically.
ONGOING · RECOMMENDED AFTER A FEATURED REPORT
ECS Reporting Advantage
Your reporting improvement office, without adding permanent headcount.
ECS works on your side of the table, weighing reporting requests, what Infor already delivers and outside solutions before you commit resources.
Each month we find the next way to save time, cut costs or lower reporting risk, from your own backlog, new Infor releases, or solutions tested in Reporting Leaders. We design it, guide the people building it, and check the result against the agreed acceptance criteria: ledger agreement, completeness and access where it applies.
Your monthly Value Scorecard shows what improved, the value delivered and what deserves attention next.
First 30 days: $5,000. After that: from $4,500 a month, scoped to your goals · month to month
Finished a featured report's 30-day Preview? Skip the $5,000 first month and start at $4,500.
YOUR MONTHLY VALUE SCORECARD MEASURES
- ✓ Hours of manual spreadsheet work removed
- ✓ Close days given back
- ✓ Custom builds avoided by using what Infor already delivers
- ✓ Reports retired or reused instead of rebuilt
- ✓ Checks passed: ledger, completeness and access
Measured results, estimates and risk reductions stay on separate lines, never added into one savings number.
WHO DOES WHAT
ECS designs and checks: finds the cause, designs the fix, sets the acceptance criteria.
You decide: set the priorities and approve each change.
Your team or an approved partner builds: build work isn't included in the monthly fee.
WHAT MAKES ECS DIFFERENT
Done means verified, not just delivered.
REAL RESULT · ECS DEMO ENVIRONMENT
A report that ties isn't necessarily a report that's right.
We ran our handover check on an income statement in the ECS demo environment. Every total matched the ledger, and all 16 detail lines matched. It still failed: account 40100 Revenue was missing from the reporting chart. The statement and the ledger view read through the same chart, so no tie-out could see the gap.
The same is true of answers from an AI assistant. It reads the same chart, so it can return a confident total that is still incomplete. A completeness check finds what the AI can't see.
That's why ECS checks completeness as well as accuracy before a report is released. See the handover check →

| Common practice | The ECS approach |
|---|---|
| Price set after scoping | Fixed prices, published on this page |
| Build what was asked for | Start from what Infor already ships; build only the gap |
| Done when it's delivered | Done when it passes the agreed checks (ledger, completeness, access), with the evidence file |
| Use the AI's answer as shown | Trace the AI's answer to a delivered Infor report and your ledger before you rely on it |
| Know-how stays with whoever built it | Your team owns it: written runbook and a trained backup |
