THE ECS SIGNATURE
One reporting improvement. Three things you keep.
Every ECS featured report and package follows the same promise.
01
Improve
Start from a delivered Infor report and make it answer a real business question, with variances, exceptions and drill-down to detail.
02
Prove
Check the improved report against the acceptance criteria you agree to up front, including its tie to the General Ledger wherever it reports ledger figures.
03
Empower
Your team, or a qualified partner, builds it with ECS guidance. Your team owns it and keeps it running after the workshop ends.

- □ Budget figures agree to the budget your team loaded
- □ Variance and variance % calculate as agreed
- □ Over and Watch flags follow the agreed thresholds
- □ Drill-down totals match the summary rows
- □ No accounts are missing from the report (completeness)
EMPOWER What your team gets and owns
- ✓ Your analyst or a qualified partner builds Budget Watch in your Infor environment, led by an ECS-qualified instructor
- ✓ ECS checks the result at midpoint and at handover against agreed criteria
- ✓ Mini-course, step-by-step build guide and Client Hub access
- ✓ A 30-day Reporting Advantage Preview, included
WHY PROVE MATTERS · 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.
Reconciliation shows that the numbers on a report agree with the ledger. It doesn't show that every account that belongs on the report is there. That takes a separate completeness check.
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 →

HOW IT WORKS
From first conversation to a report your team owns.
STEP 1
Book a free Private Reporting Review
Thirty minutes on your reporting problem and which featured report fits it.
STEP 2
Build it in a one-week workshop
Your team, or a qualified partner, builds the improvement in your Infor environment, with three weekly check-ins after. Timing depends on your environment being ready and your team or partner being available.
STEP 3
Keep improving
Your 30-day Preview of ECS Reporting Advantage starts the next improvement.
Who does what: ECS designs the improvement and checks the result. Your team, or a qualified partner, does the build. You approve and own it. The instructor is an ECS associate or an approved partner consultant trained in the ECS method. The ECS package provides the reporting design, guided instruction and acceptance review at the published price. Your team or a qualified partner performs the implementation. Any separately contracted partner development fees are additional.
| 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 | Check the AI's answer against a delivered Infor report, your ledger and your agreed definitions before you rely on it |
| Know-how stays with whoever built it | Your team owns it: written runbook and a trained backup |
