How complex is the migration? What does this mean for day-to-day operations? And will everything continue to work the way we are used to?\r\n\r\nXibis has been guiding organizations since 1989 in the implementation, optimization, and migration of Infor ERP. We have helped dozens of customers make a controlled and valuable transition to the cloud.\r\n\r\nIn this article, you will discover what is really involved in a migration to Infor CloudSuite, which misconceptions you can forget, and why more and more organizations are taking the step driven by modernization and technological innovation.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_3_tb_body et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\r\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\r\n<h2>Why organizations are switching to cloud ERP<\/h2>\r\n<strong>Modernization and AI as driving forces\r\n<\/strong>More and more organizations want to actively leverage modern technologies such as GenAI, process automation, and data analytics. These innovations are developing primarily in the cloud. The move to Infor CloudSuite therefore becomes a logical step to keep pace with technological advancement.\r\n\r\n<strong>Pressure on efficiency, flexibility, and innovation\r\n<\/strong>Organizations are under increasing pressure to respond more quickly to market changes, customer expectations, and disruptions in their supply chain. On-premise ERP systems often offer too little flexibility to remain agile.\r\n\r\n<strong>Legacy systems limiting growth and innovation\r\n<\/strong>Older ERP systems are often heavily customized, difficult to upgrade, and dependent on specific knowledge holders. This makes it difficult to accommodate new business models, digitalization initiatives, or international expansions.\r\n\r\n<strong>Future-proof scalability and automation\r\n<\/strong>Cloud ERP offers automatic updates, scalability, modern integration capabilities, and continuous innovation. Your IT landscape grows with you, without investments in hardware or lengthy upgrade projects.\r\n<h2>What does it deliver? Results from the Forrester study<\/h2>\r\nThe independent study The Total Economic Impact of Infor Industry CloudSuite (June 2025) shows that organizations that switched to the cloud realize significant benefits.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>114% Return on Investment within 3 years\r\n70% less revenue loss through better financial insights<\/li>\r\n \t<li>30% higher productivity in operations and administrative processes<\/li>\r\n \t<li>70% less time spent on compliance, audits, and reporting<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Lower IT costs and faster expansion capabilities<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe conclusion of the interviewed organizations: the transition pays for itself faster than expected.\r\n<h2>On-premise versus cloud: a few facts<\/h2>\r\n<strong>Cost structure\r\n<\/strong>With on-premise ERP, you pay for hardware, licenses, maintenance, and upgrades. Cloud operates on a predictable subscription model and avoids hidden costs.\r\n\r\n<strong>Security and compliance\r\n<\/strong>Cloud security runs on world-class infrastructure. Infor CloudSuite runs on AWS and complies with certifications including ISO 27001 and SOC. This level of security is virtually unattainable for organizations on their own.\r\n\r\n<strong>Innovation and updates\r\n<\/strong>With Infor CloudSuite, you receive automatic updates. No more upgrade projects and no falling behind on new functionalities. Innovations such as GenAI and advanced analytics become available in the cloud first.\r\n<h2>The five biggest misconceptions about a cloud migration<\/h2>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li><strong>Our processes are too unique for standard cloud.<\/strong>\r\nInfor CloudSuite offers extensive standard processes for a wide range of industries. Much customization often turns out to be unnecessary.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>We will lose our custom functionalities.<\/strong>\r\nMany features are now standard parts of CloudSuite. Where customization is truly needed, there are flexible integration options and low-code capabilities.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Cloud is less secure than on-premise.<\/strong>\r\nThe opposite is true. The cloud offers continuous monitoring, backups, encryption, and security protocols that are barely achievable on-premise.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Our organization will be down for weeks during the migration.<\/strong>\r\nWith a well-thought-out approach and thorough preparation, a migration can be carried out in phases with minimal disruption.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Cloud is more expensive than what we have now.<\/strong>\r\nWhen management, hardware, upgrades, and downtime are factored in, cloud ERP often proves more cost-effective over a three-year period.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h2>What makes a migration to Infor CloudSuite manageable?<\/h2>\r\n<strong>Standard where possible, custom where necessary\r\n<\/strong>The cloud transition is the ideal moment to optimize processes. The goal is not to copy exactly how things were, but to improve based on best practices.\r\n\r\n<strong>Industry Process Catalogs\r\n<\/strong>Infor offers pre-configured process catalogs that help organizations make faster decisions about workflows, settings, and data models. This shortens implementation time and improves quality.\r\n\r\n<strong>Migrating with a specialized partner\r\n<\/strong>Xibis has an in-depth knowledge of Infor ERP solutions and the migration challenges organizations face.
