In Nashville, Agile Dragon Group and Hercules Industries showed the CSDE/M3 network a proof of concept: a piece of Hercules' financial reporting rebuilt in three weeks on the standard Birst included with every M3 tenant. No new license. No data leaving Infor.

The income statement and balance sheet come out in the same format the finance team hands to the board and the bank. Every line drills to the transaction. Ching Cooper walks through it live in the Hercules environment; Kord Hutchison covers what changed and what is still being reviewed before rollout.
