So, I happened to catch mention of Lawson software as some very old mainframe accounting software. What does Wikipedia have to say about that? Nothing, it’s too old to be heard of by the youngsters who redact older, “non-notable” information from Wikipedia that does not have “reliable sources” to cite. But. if you go searching abroad on the Internet, you will find a blog and some articles written by such an old-timer who has had first-hand experience with the times in which that software was relevant, Naomi Bloom. Wow, things sure were different back then in the mainframe days, and what a journey we’ve went on to get into the modern era!
Infor bought Lawson Software. Interestingly, Infor is known to be the “ERP graveyard” among some circles, this company that buys out software to scoop up some of the revenue from the existing market, but eventually kills off the old software.
