Lawson Software Introduces Cloud-Based ERP Disaster Recovery for Lawson Enterprise Software System

Lawson Software (Nasdaq: LWSN) today introduced Lawson Disaster
Recovery, a cloud-based disaster recovery service designed to help
Lawson customers achieve business continuity within hours of a
technology-related disaster. The new Lawson service can help
organizations resume their most critical business processes,
including payroll, finance, accounts receivable/payable, inventory
management, and procurement, within 12 hours. The new Lawson
offering is now generally available to Lawson S3 customers
operating on a Microsoft Windows environment.
Lawson Disaster Recovery is delivered via Lawson Cloud Services,
providing proven security for Lawson customers’ data. Cloud
delivery also provides flexible capacity, meaning Lawson customers
can more readily increase or decrease their Cloud-based
infrastructure usage as needed. Through this service, Lawson pulls
customer data on an hourly basis into Lawson Disaster Recovery and
provides a two-hour restore point in the event of a disaster. This
rapid restore point, coupled with the flexibility of Cloud
infrastructure, means Lawson customers can be up-and-running on
their most critical business functions in 12 hours or less with
minimal loss of production data.
“Currently, many organizations risk being down for days and
losing significant amounts of data in the event of a disaster, and
that can be devastating to their business. Our customers have asked
for a reliable, cost-effective business continuity solution when it
comes to their most time-sensitive business processes,” said Terry
Plath, vice president of Lawson Cloud Services. “By taking
advantage of the flexible capacity and rapid scalability of the
Cloud, we can quickly restore the customers’ instance of the
software along with their production data to minimize down time.
This helps minimize the time it takes to get them back on track
with their core business processes. Ultimately, this provides
greater peace of mind when lost minutes and hours can make a
tremendous impact on their business.”
Lawson customer, Scott County, Minn., is the first organization
to take advantage of Lawson Disaster Recovery via the Cloud. Since
implementing the service, the county has improved recovery time
from 48 hours to 12 hours. Lawson and Scott County worked closely
together in the development of this product, implementing industry
best practices for the way data is backed up and moved to the
Lawson Disaster Recovery site. To help ensure readiness, Lawson
fully tests recovery at the time of implementation and then
conducts annual recovery tests using live production data.
“Our constituents, including county employees, need confidence
that we can continue our business operations in the event of a
disaster,” said Kevin Ellsworth, chief financial officer for Scott
County. “Our testing of Lawson Disaster Recovery has shown a
significant reduction in the amount of time it can take us to
restore many of our core business processes. We need to be able to
make payroll, manage our financials and ensure that we have
supplies needed to run efficiently. Extended downtime can cause
considerable disruption in our services to residents of the county
and our employees, which is not acceptable.”
Ellsworth spoke about the county’s pilot disaster recovery
initiative with Lawson during the April 2010 Lawson Conference and
User Exchange (CUE). Since that initial project, Lawson has now
formalized the offering as a product for its S3 customers. “This
product introduction underscores the fact that some of the best
innovation in enterprise software comes from the collaboration we
have with our customers,” added Plath. “By listening to their needs
and working closely with them on innovative ideas, we’re able to
deliver new products and services that address issues that directly
affect their business. Now with Cloud computing as a reality in
enterprise software, we’re able to bring even greater innovation
and speed-to-market with new products and services.”
