ECS REPORTING ADVANTAGE · ONGOING INFOR REPORTING SUPPORT

Better reporting. Every month.

Your reporting shouldn't stand still after the project ends.

Each month ECS finds the next Infor reporting improvement, defines it, verifies it worked, and shows you the evidence.

Reporting requests keep coming. Providers recommend different solutions. Every Infor release adds new choices, and now AI can build a report in seconds. ECS is your reporting solution architect: we decide what's worth improving next, define it so whoever builds it knows when it's done, and prove the result. You don't pay for a backlog or a ticket queue. You pay for the next decision, and the evidence it worked.

$4,500 a month · two-month minimum · then month to month, 30 days' notice to stop

YOUR FIRST MONTH

Real deliverables in month one.

Together we pick your most important reporting problem and set a practical path forward. By the end of your first month you have usable work in hand, and you've seen every ECS Reporting Advantage deliverable at work.

YOU RECEIVE

  • ✓ Your reporting goals, up to three, each with one measure and today's starting number.
  • ✓ Your first Decision Brief: the opportunities we found, in priority order, and what to approve, stop or investigate next.
  • ✓ A Solution Blueprint for your first goal: what Infor already delivers, what to build, who builds it, and the acceptance criteria that say it's done.
  • ✓ Your first Value Scorecard: what was proven and verified in month one, with the evidence.
  • ✓ A 60 to 90 day plan, with any implementation costs quoted separately so there are no surprises.

$4,500 a month · two-month minimum · then month to month, 30 days' notice to stop. The Diagnostic fee is credited toward your first month of ECS Reporting Advantage if you start within 90 days.

Already finished a featured report? Its 30-day Preview is included in that package, and ECS Reporting Advantage continues at the same price and terms. The Preview doesn't count toward the two-month minimum.

HOW IMPROVEMENT HAPPENS EACH MONTH

What you're really paying for is judgment.

Tracking progress is the easy part. The hard part is knowing why a goal is stuck and what to change in Infor to move it. That's what an ECS architect brings every month, in one repeating cycle.

1

Find

We find the next improvement and its cause, not just the symptom: why a statement misses the ledger, why the close runs long, where manual Excel work hides.

2

Prioritize

We decide what's worth doing next: what Infor already delivers, which setting to change, whether to reuse, adapt or build, and in what order. You get it as a Decision Brief.

3

Verify

Each improvement gets a Solution Blueprint with acceptance criteria. Your team or provider builds it and checks it against them. Your team runs its own monthly tie-outs; we track them as goals and guide any exception.

4

Prove

Your monthly Value Scorecard shows the evidence: ties proven, differences explained, improvements verified, reports retired. Then the cycle repeats as your business changes.

Done means it ties, not that it was delivered.

Your Value Scorecard shows what moved each goal, with evidence you can open in Infor. Measured results, estimates and risk reductions sit on separate lines, never added into one savings figure.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Three deliverables every month. Everything aimed at your goals.

Included What it does for you
Value Scorecard One page each month: ties proven, differences explained, improvements verified and reports retired, with evidence you can open in Infor
Decision Brief What to approve, stop or investigate next, including new Infor capabilities worth your attention
Solution Blueprint One defined improvement: what to build, who builds it, and the acceptance criteria your team and your builder check against
Up to three reporting goals Set with real starting numbers and tracked on your goal dashboard
Working sessions every other week Decisions, dependencies and scope questions handled as they come up, with office hours in between
Infor release and AI review Each month's Infor changes checked for what they mean for your reports, with a recommendation to adopt, test or wait
Solution and provider choices Offers you're considering, including solutions shared in Reporting Leaders, assessed for fit, prerequisites, evidence and cost
New requests, turned into decisions Weighed against your goals and what already exists in Infor, then decided in your Decision Brief
Knowledge that stays with you Definitions, decisions, owners and instructions recorded for every improvement

FOCUSED CAPACITY

Focused capacity. Visible progress.

EACH MONTH COVERS

  • ✓ One improvement defined and verified
  • ✓ Up to two more being assessed or prepared
  • ✓ A working session every other week, with office hours in between, plus your monthly Value Scorecard and Decision Brief

We agree scope and capacity before work begins. Larger initiatives can span several months. When your reporting settles, you can pause and return.

CLEAR ABOUT WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED

So you know exactly what you're paying for.

We don't build your reports.

Your team, contractors or partners build. ECS defines what to build and the acceptance criteria they check against.

We don't need standing access to your systems.

Your team runs its own tie-outs and checks. We don't log in between sessions or collect your exports.

Some things are quoted separately before you commit:

implementation labor, full account reconciliation, complex design projects and extra workstreams. We quote them separately or refer you to a partner.

You stay in control.

Your organization keeps business approval and production-release authority.

PRICE AND TERMS

Price

$4,500 a month, scoped to your goals.

Coming from a featured report's Preview? Same price and terms. The Preview is included in your featured report and doesn't count toward the two-month minimum.

Terms

No setup fee. $4,500 a month · two-month minimum, then month to month. To stop, give 30 days' notice at any time; it takes effect at the end of the minimum or 30 days after notice, whichever is later.

Questions

What if we have no new requests this month?

Your Value Scorecard and Decision Brief still arrive, and your goals keep moving. The Advantage works on goals, not requests, and quiet months are often when we find the next improvement.

What happens when a goal is met?

It retires on your next Value Scorecard and you choose the next one. Most teams have a new goal ready by then.

What if our reporting settles down?

You can stop with 30 days' notice. You can give notice at any time, including during your first two months; it takes effect at the end of your second month or 30 days after notice, whichever is later. You're welcome back any time. There's no lower tier to drop into; when the business changes and there's a new decision to make, we pick up where we left off.

How is AI used?

Two ways. In our own work, AI helps us draft your scorecard and briefs quickly and consistently. An ECS architect reviews every one before you see it.

In your reporting, AI output is treated like any other build. When AI builds or changes a report, or answers a question with a number, the acceptance criteria still apply: the figure must trace to a delivered Infor report and tie to your ledger. Each month's Infor release and AI review tells you which new AI features are worth using and what to check before you rely on them.

Do you replace our provider?

No. Your provider still does the build. We help you choose the right provider, define what to build, and set the acceptance criteria you and your provider check against.
