Plus Orthopedics steps up to Java with Lawson M3
Manufacturer of hip and knee implants now live with Lawson Java upgrade.
HILDEN, Germany (April 19, 2007) – Lawson Software today announced that implant manufacturer Plus Orthopedics, long term customer with headquarters in Switzerland, has successfully gone live with Lawson M3 Java. Upgrading from RPG to Java technology became key to support the company’s global supply chain and to provide real time access to data throughout the organization. The upgrade has facilitated a web-based interface to all sites of Plus Orthopedics throughout Europe including France, Greece, Italy, UK and Germany. [

Plus Orthopedics has been a Lawson (former Intentia) customer in Switzerland since 1999. To meet its growth plans, the company decided last year to upgrade its Lawson applications and secure a global and gradual rollout of Lawson M3 for the support and optimization of the company’s business processes in the areas of manufacturing, purchasing, distribution and finance and this to all other parts of its organization.
Plus Orthopedics solicited Lawson Software for the implementation of this upgrade project based on positive past experiences with Lawson. The software upgrade was completed within 8 months with negligible disruption of the company’s activities, and the older RPG-based system has successfully been replaced with the latest Lawson M3 Java solution. “The successful introduction of the upgrade in Switzerland makes the foundation for our planned rollout in other countries and will help ensure that we have real-time information and visibility into our global supply chain, said Martin Egger, managing director for Plus Orthopedics. “We rely on fast and flexible information and easy access to our company data. The Lawson M3 solution is a critical component of our business, as we need important and timely information.
The next rollout for Plus Orthopedics is scheduled in Italy in November with implementations in other countries to follow.
