All
Be certain to include in you plans the future direction that Infor is taking with the product.
They have announced as part of their XA roadmap that they will elininate the need for multi-environments. Please see the infor announcements for details.
It should also be noted that this is included as part of your annual license agreement.
It may not be soon enough for your immediate needs, but it is not years away. The goal is to include with the next release (4th qtr) or at the latest the 2010 release.

Hello,
Our company Buehler Ltd is on R5.5 and have all the features of IFM
modules installed and Running perfect for us (except some user issues ;)
We also using Shared Apps, where all Master files are shared and
transactional data are silos. Shared apps is not a quick solution (not
easy to install, but PSI could help you out with that) - but down road
it will bring a lot of benefits. I agree, for this particular task and
time constrains it would be cleaner to create a new environment,
specifically if it requires to have various securities and currencies.
Thank you and Regards,
Jane Ioffe

I do not think 5.5 has IFM capability, but I set up a medical device
firm
with offices in Costa Rica, Chile & Argentina in 1 environment employing
the
EPDM feature of 7.0 with the IFM module installed.
Security is per site. If you did not want someone to see data in another
country, security is just like plain vanilla MAPICS as to who you
authorize to
inquire, data enter or file maintenance @ each site.
All 3 countries had different currencies which with IFM were converted
to US
dollars for the headquarters finance geeks on line realtime if
necessary.
Once again..5.5 may not have this ability,....and you need EPDM

Jon,
I'm with Pete O. on this one. I think you would find it a lot cleaner
to
have a separate environment (sharing the AMALIBx). Simpler on
security, and
all around easier to manage. And you already know how to manage
multiple
environments. At my prior employer, for a couple years we added a
product line
that was run separate from the rest of the company (that area ran as a
demand-flow shop, unlike the rest of the plant), and it was a lot
easier to keep
things separate with two separate environments. It was easier for the
accounting function also.
We looked hard at setting up a separate company, but decided it would
be
harder with all the reporting changes and all - the hundreds of queries
and such
were all done assuming company 01. We didn't want to have to deal with
all
that - separate data libraries were easier to manage.
