  • Infor Velocity Suite Use Cases Live Today, With More on the Way

    Infor Velocity Suite Use Cases Live Today, With More on the Way
    Nov 10 2026
    Ask around about Infor Velocity Suite and you might hear people call it an AP automation tool, a label that covers only a fraction of what the platform can do. In this episode of RPI Tech Connect, Sam Green, Product Director at Infor, and Jeremy Stoltzfus, Principal Technical Consultant at RPI, get into the Infor Velocity Suite use cases available today and the idea that ties them together: see how your business really runs, then act on what you find. Sam starts with process mining, which analyzes workflows and surfaces the bottlenecks hiding in them, giving you a clear picture of where to start. The included Gen AI assistant helps your team make sense of what that picture shows and answers questions straight from your ERP data, like the one-off report requests Jeremy used to field at a hospital almost every week. The AI Adoption Hub then turns those insights and your goals into a roadmap in 20 to 30 minutes, so you know what to tackle first. Sam closes with what he sees as the natural next step: customers taking an idea from prototype to production on their own. If your team runs on Infor CloudSuite and you’re curious how much more Velocity Suite can do, this episode will give you something to bring to your next planning conversation.

  • Hans Mueller on the Infor Resources You Might Be Missing

    Hans Mueller on the Infor Resources You Might Be Missing
    Nov 3 2026
    Your Infor investment comes with more resources than you might expect. RPI’s Director of Infor Solutions Hans Mueller has spent years on the Infor side working directly with customers, and he knows where to send them first. In this episode of RPI Tech Connect, Hans shares the range of Infor resources out there and points to the Release Center on Infor Concierge as the place to start. He explains how the April and October releases give teams two dates a year to plan around, with many new features arriving switched off until you’re ready for them. Then comes AI: a no-cost assistant that multi-tenant cloud customers can switch on to get how-to answers straight from Infor’s documentation, plus Velocity Suite agents that can tell you which vendors you owe the most in about a minute, among many other capabilities. Hans also shares how customers who join Infor focus groups help shape how Infor delivers releases today. His request is for more customers to raise their hand and engage with Infor and partners like RPI to get the most from their investment. The episode also teases Hanging with Hans, RPI’s new call, where customers are invited to share the challenges they’re encountering. If you rely on Infor every day and want to learn more about the resources available to you, this conversation shows you where to look and who to ask.

  • Why Aerospace & Defense Companies Need Workforce Management

    Why Aerospace & Defense Companies Need Workforce Management
    Oct 20 2026
    On a government contract, every labor hour must trace back to the work it paid for. Dan Aldridge, Director of Marketing at PCG, better known as the ERP Doctor, joins Randy Ellsworth, RPI’s WFM Director, to talk about where workforce management fits next to an aerospace and defense ERP. They cover how labor data ties back to contracts and production orders, why CMMC 2.0 and ITAR matter to the people side of the business, and how a configurable WFM system can support those requirements without custom code. Randy also describes what a successful implementation looks like, from payroll that becomes a non-event to managers who only deal with exceptions, and Dan explains how the RPI and PCG partnership puts industry and WFM expertise on the same project. If your company builds for government customers and labor tracking still depends on manual fixes, this conversation is worth your time. Still chasing labor hours by hand on government contracts?
