In common with a considerable proportion of the Lawson Movex
customer base, we were looking for a sensible upgrade approach
Movex v11 RPG
High level of modification
Unable to modify (sensibly)
Consultant support becoming narrow
Limited access to later capabilities
But..... had more than 50% of our user base
who were familiar with it
Our interest in M3 goes far beyond the core software – access to the ancillary tools and
creating a whole new approach was central to our thinking

Taking advantage of the cloud infrastructure with a Quickstep foundation, a prototype
environment was created which would allow the users to understand what 10 years of
development had meant!!

The M3 system environment will sit at the core of the UK system portfolio
integrated with other best-in-class solutions*
* Systems illustrated are key ancillary systems, but are not exhaustive

Our desire to minimise modification to the core M3 package will see the
introduction of 3 “edge systems”

So, our expectations are high, and we have to believe that we will
deliver a result that is consistent with our precedent!!
“"10" was amazing! I
had no career before
"10" and then all of a
sudden I was able to
do pretty much
whatever I was able
to do in the business.”
