Case Study: L3 Communications achieves ERP consolidation and cost savings with Infor's LN

L3 Communications improves business processes by transitioning from Infor Baan to Infor LN

L3 Communications, a top-10 global aerospace and defense contractor with more than 40,000 employees and $12B+ in revenue, faced a fragmented IT landscape of 70+ isolated ERP environments running Infor Baan 4 and 5. The company needed to consolidate systems, cut maintenance costs, and upgrade to Infor LN 10.4 on a defined budget and schedule while keeping disruption to daily operations minimal.

L3 implemented Infor LN 10.4, centralizing into a single virtual infrastructure and using Infor’s aerospace & defense microverticals to reduce customizations. With rigorous planning, strong program management, and testing on internal cloud environments, the go-live was completed on time and on budget, reducing ERP instances and costs, integrating subsystems, and improving master planning, capacity planning, navigation, and data capabilities with minimal operational impact.
