I am doing some research on Baan and was wondering where I could find a list of the versions possibly by release date. And also a timeline for the operating systems. Thanks!

Just to add to content on the link above, after ERP LN (Baan 6) is released in 2004, SSA/Infor released a new feature pack every year enhancing LN convering more country specific functionalities, usability and technology enhancements and industry specific functionalities.

Last month Infor ERP LN FP4 is made limited availability with 4/5 selected customers in EU and Americas. The general available ERP LN FP5 is expected by this year end, pre integrated with some of the Infor extended products like supply web, EAM and some of the infor evolve products like role based home pages etc...

Over these 4 years ERP LN Tools are enhanced and now we have Infor ERP LN Application studio for 4GL development, ERP LN business studio for integration development for LN, ERP LN reporting studio for new BIRT based reporting and home pages for ERP LN. All of these are Eclipse based development tools, SOA based integrated with infor enterprise service bus.

Webtop for ERP LN is also enhanced and regular new releases are available on webtop. For example last month ERP LN Enterprise server tools 8.4.2 is released.

SSA / Infor also offer migration software from Baan 4, Baan 5, Manman, MK to ERP LN.
