Version:
Lawson provides open, standards-based software solutions that fundamentally improve customers’ business performance. The open architecture of Lawson’s solutions gives customers superior quality, a low total cost of ownership and a path to a service-oriented architecture (SOA). Lawson’s technology platform--Lawson System Foundation 9--combines Lawson's newest technology with world-class middleware from IBM for a high-performance solution that delivers comprehensive security, scalability, and usability. It also preserves customers' choice of hardware platform while providing a foundation for next-generation Lawson applications designed for use within SOA environments.
Lawson is building its next-generation applications using its Landmark technology environment, which dramatically reduces the amount of source code and produces virtually error-free, consistent Java code. This Java-based code delivers interoperability that protects and extends Lawson customers’ existing IT investments while ensuring compatibility with future applications and technologies.
Lawson’s industry focus and flexible product design enables fast and easy deployment. The company’s expertise within its target markets allows its services teams to radically simplify the process of deploying Lawson applications. As a result, customers save time, effort, and expense in implementing, maintaining, and using Lawson applications. In addition, Lawson’s professional services organization provides industry-specific implementation advice focused on best practices and value delivery.
The M3 Supply Chain Management suite is designed to increase visibility and improve material flow through the supply chain by managing planning, scheduling, procurement and fulfillment for optimum service levels and maximum profitability. M3 Supply Chain copes as easily with the configuration of increasingly complex supply chains as it does with high volumes of simple transactions, using flexible tools to help with strategic decision making and operational control.
Lawson M3 Supply Chain encompasses sophisticated planning and optimization tools, highly configurable warehouse execution functions, advanced procurement applications, and comprehensive fulfillment and scheduling options. It brings the sophisticated functionality normally associated with costly best-of-breed solutions within easy reach of medium-sized enterprises. Simple to use, fully integrated, and with an extremely low cost of ownership, M3 Supply Chain provides significant opportunity to gain competitive advantage through optimized use of resources and inventories.

A measly portion of its total revenues comes from sales outside of the US-a proportion that has been static for the past several years. On the other hand, it may point out how successful the company has become in the US in the past decade. What is puzzling is why that success has remained local.
