Lawson Software Selects LANSA To Extend Supply Chain Integration Capabilities Of Lawson ERP Solutions

LANSA announced a business partnership with Lawson Software to assist Lawson S3 Supply Chain Management customers to extend their supply chain integration capabilities to include GS1 standards-based item alignment via the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN), using LANSA Data Sync Direct as their synchronization vehicle.

Keith Lohkamp, product strategist, supply chain management at Lawson Software, says, "LANSA's experience helping organizations synchronize item data in their supply chain using GS1, GDSN and 1SYNC standards for item communication/synchronization makes them a logical partner for helping Lawson S3 Supply Chain Management Healthcare customers connect to 1SYNC and other GDSN certified data pools."

LANSA intends to work with the Lawson S3 Supply Chain Management architecture and structure, allowing the load of items synchronized via the GDSN into Lawson's Item Master with proper validations to ensure integrity of item data.

Jeff Holzman, LANSA's director of solution products said, "Lawson is a healthcare supply chain industry leader, and LANSA is pleased to be selected as a recommended solution for Lawson customers. Through our participation with GS1 Healthcare, it's apparent that Lawson's involvement is critical to the success of GS1-based item alignment in the healthcare industry."

As a result of this partnership, Lawson customers will be able to take advantage of an intelligent and seamless connection into 1SYNC and other GDSN certified data pools to synchronize their item information with trading partners worldwide.

"This new partnership between LANSA and Lawson is exciting news for the GS1 Healthcare US standards initiative," said Dennis Harrison, president of GS1 Healthcare US. "We applaud them for their great energy in supporting the healthcare initiative to improve patient safety and supply chain efficiency."
