Just wanted to mention it was nice to see such a down to earth posting. Unfortunately, I've never even heard of the ERP you mentioned, but you sound like a good company to work for :-)

Infor is huge in the ERP space and dates back to bigger iron days(mainframe and IBM AS/400). They acquired a lot of smaller players over the years which might be way they are somewhat unknown these days unless you date yourself to that era.

Oh huh ... I actually did a lot of AS/400 & Stratus work back in the 80s. So Infor isn't written in RPG is it? the 400 actually had a decent COBOL compiler but everything seemed to end up in RPG :-/

I'm not a young man and my dad used to talk about and work on this stuff back in the 80's-90's he's long since retired. I think your best bet here would be to train someone I can't imagine there are many folks left who worked on these systems...
