W&H implemented Infor ERP LN in May of 2007. The following is an interview we conducted with Mr. Josef Nobis, who lead the 11-month project to implement ERP LN.
Q – How did you get to know the NAZDAQ tools?
A – After the installation of BaanIV in the year 1998 we looked for a tool to be able to send PDF business documents by email. We found a small and nice tool in the B2Email suite: B2Email Standard, B2Email Plus and Baan Mail-Merge.
Q – What were your needs that were met in the Baan Mail-Merge product?
A – We generate Purchase Orders in a batch job and send them automatically to our suppliers by E-mail. This works very well with Mail-Merge.
Q – What was the alternative to Baan Mail-Merge solution? Why did you choose Baan Mail- Merge?
A – In our pure Windows environment we found no useful alternative. Mail Merge supplied exactly the function, which we needed.
Q – Do you have other uses for Baan Mail-Merge?
A – In addition to dispatching orders to the suppliers, we also E-mail production papers directly to the appropriate production team.
Q – You upgraded to Infor ERP LN lately. Can you tell us a bit about the project?

Q – Are NAZDAQ tools part of the LN installation? In what way?
A – As a part of the ERP LN Installation, we installed B2Email Standard, B2Email Plus and Baan Mail-Merge on the server, with no client installation necessary. These products are now working for our LN users in Webtop.
