TekniPlex Replicates Infor CloudSuite Data for On-Prem Reporting

TekniPlex migrated one of its subsidiaries to Infor LN CloudSuite. As part of that move, the company needed to pull ERP data from the cloud into its existing on-premise reporting environment.

Patrick described the core issue clearly: for reporting, TekniPlex already had an on-premise stack — including SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) — and related data warehouse processes. Some plants were moving to the cloud while others still depended on those on-premise systems.

TekniPlex wanted Infor CloudSuite data in its own environment for reporting and analysis, rather than being limited to a different reporting route. The challenge was keeping familiar reporting tools fed with cloud ERP data without forcing a completely new reporting approach.

NAZDAQ helped TekniPlex implement B2Win Suite to build repeatable data processes that pull data from Infor LN CloudSuite and make it available for on-premises reporting, data warehousing, and related business processes.

In practice, that means TekniPlex continues to run its on-premise Microsoft reporting stack — including SSRS — while Infor CloudSuite data is brought into that environment. Existing reports and warehouse processes stay in place; they are simply fed with the cloud data the business needs.

Patrick said the solution has been reliable in production, and that NAZDAQ’s technology has continued to work well, with support available whenever he needed it.

Since going live, Patrick has been able to expand the process himself. He has been able to add more tables to the replication process by publishing them from LN in the data lake and then pushing them to the on-prem database using the B2Win Suite workflow.

He also said he was able to pick the tools up pretty quickly and navigate them with confidence. Even before the first guidance call, he was already starting to figure things out on his own; once NAZDAQ walked him through the recommended setup, he could keep building on it.

That repeatability matters as future Infor CloudSuite implementations move forward: add the tables, publish, push — without starting from scratch each time.

“It's super intuitive. I was able to start figuring it out before we even jumped on a call. The product itself is great, and easy to navigate.”

Patrick also said he was able to pick it up pretty quickly, and that navigating through the product has been great. Since go-live, expanding the process — adding tables and repeating the publish-and-push workflow — has stayed manageable.

Yes. Patrick said he would definitely recommend NAZDAQ and B2Win Suite to other companies going through an Infor CloudSuite migration or facing similar challenges with Infor LN.

Whenever he speaks with peers dealing with this kind of reporting and data-access challenge, that is his recommendation.
