About The LawsonGuru...

Decision Analytics Logo

Part of my goal—as your self-appointed ombudsman in the Lawson Software community—is to increase each and every client’s return on their Lawson investment, by providing them with provocative commentary and timely information that improves their use of Lawson’s ERP software. This is why I started The LawsonGuru Letter back in 2002.

The LawsonGuru Letter newsletter is distributed—free of charge—on a monthly basis, covering a broad spectrum of topics that are relevant to the Lawson Software community.  In addition, The LawsonGuru Letter also provides a forum for guest contributors that include consultants and of course, Lawson’s customers.

I wanted to fill what I felt was a void in the Lawson community. There were user groups, Lawson had its support site, and there was, of course, CUE.

However, what I felt was missing was a source of information that was comprehensive and completely unbiased. While the newsletter has been very successful, I realized I had to take it a step further. 

The result, of course, is LawsonGuru.com.

Here are some highlights:

  • A Lawson-centric home page, containing announcements, a LWSN stock quote, a Lawson-related newsfeed, as well as an occasional survey question, and my current “worthwhile reading” article list.
  • The LawsonGuru.com Forums where you can post and respond to Lawson-related questions and issues.  Similar to the topica mailing lists, but without the embedded advertisements and those oh-so-annoying “out-of-office” message storms.
  • Lawson ERDs:  Lawson doesn’t publish any. Therefore, you can certainly appreciate that some of the biggest attractions on the LawsonGuru.com site are my celebrated Lawson ERDs and hyperlinked data dictionary.
  • Tips & Tricks: A repository of my favorite Tips & Tricks from amongst those published (and some unpublished) in The LawsonGuru Letter.

So, enjoy the site.  Tell your friends and colleagues about it.

I was going to leave well enough alone.  I’m not an Apple user, and not at all affected by the recent flap over the iPhone4 antenna problems.  But then I saw this headline: Fix iPhone ‘Death Grip’ For Free, Urges … Continue reading

I read an interesting article recently in Harvard Business Review: http://hbr.org/2010/04/the-acceleration-trap/ In case you haven’t noticed, the world is spinning faster–at least it often seems that way.  Our collective method of mitigating this hyper-kinetic frenzy is, of course, to work … Continue reading

You’ve no doubt heard the news: Carl Icahn has “taken a stake” in Lawson Software (NASDAQ:LWSN). What exactly does this mean? Well, I wish I could tell you, but I sure don’t know. Except it can’t be good. If you’ve … Continue reading

You’re probably still dizzy, having just finished your Time Accrual to Absence Management upgrade.  And it doesn’t seem that long ago that we went through that frenetic cycle of LSF9 and 9.0 Apps upgrades.  Well, get ready folks–there’s more to … Continue reading

One of the people I pay attention to in the tech world is John C. Dvorak. While he’s not always right, he does provoke our thought process when it comes to technology. In a section of a recent posting (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2358568,00.asp), … Continue reading

I found this recent Lawson press release announcing the hire of a new VP to be curious.  My initial thought was (seriously), what happened to Dean Hager? With economic-driven staffing reductions, and layoffs at Lawson and other software vendors, isn’t … Continue reading

No, this post has nothing to do with Lawson.  Except that Lawson S3 supported databases include both Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.  I got an email today from “Internet.com Tech Alerts”, and at first glance, this looked interesting: There are … Continue reading
