    I see some versions LBI will be decommissioned - what exactly is LBI
    I know we use lawosn add-ins and Process flow
    but for reporting we have cognos, reportsafe.

      LBI includes:
      - ProcessFlow (which you say you already have/use)
      - SmartNotifications (identify and notifiy users of particular changes in data/trends)
      - Reporting Services (Lawson's implementation of Crystal server)
      - Lawson OLEDB provider (slower but than your native database provider, but uses Lawson security and understands Lawson's database structure; also reprocessing/bursting of Lawson standard reports)
      - Scorecard implementation using Microsoft OLAP Services

        John - would like to stretch this thread a little on your comment of LBI includes process flow. PF is actually delivered as part of the core technology. I know there is a lot of overlap in terms of functionality between LBI and PF, especially in the area of notifications. But I've heard a lot of comments over the years about PF/PFI being "part of" LBI.

          ProcessFlow Standard is part of the core/LSFCT.

          ProcessFlow Integrator is what is bundled with LBI.
