LBP replacement?

What do you use for your budgeting? We currently use LBP but are going to moving to V10 of apps soon and LBP doesn't interface with V10 anymore (and is end of life 2016 I think). It looks like Infor's replacement is "Dynamic Enterprise Performance Management". I haven't received information on that yet but I also want to explore 3rd party options. I was wondering what others have used and liked. We are specifically looking for a solution that handles labor budgeting well.

Where did you confirm LBP decommision? I reviewed the Comptability Matrix and did not find that reference.

The life cycle policy has mainstream maintenance ending 2016 for the current version. I'm not sure if I heard about it being phased out from Infor or a 3rd party consultant though. It does look like extended maintenance is 2017 as well.

However it seems like from the compatiblity matrix that it does support version 10 of apps. I need to confirm that but things must have changed. Thanks for the heads up!

We use EPSI for our budgeting tool. The final budget numbers are then loaded into Lawson.

Branlo, are you using Lawson payroll? What is your revenue system? We have EPSI for cost accounting and I would entertain using their budget tool. We currently use Kaufman Hall.

We do utilize Lawson PR and EPIC is our current revenue system. We just moved to EPSI for cost accounting and use KH for long range planning/forecasting. Our clinic finance also uses another KH module but I don't remember which one. I can follow up with them if needed.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I stand corrected, it looks like LBP does support V10 of apps. That helps a bit but we still are considering looking at other solutions so thanks for letting me know what you are using for budgetting.

I'm curious, have any of you looked at the INFOR CPM product? Do you not like it? Just curious, I thought they should have kept Lawson's LBP product instead of trying to replace it with a product that did not have all the integration. It's possible they have all that build out now, but last I heard it was not. Plus, I've heard from Lawson User groups that LBP was much better for budgeting at the employee level for Healthcare organizations. Does anyone have any feedback on INFOR's budgeting product?
