Accelerate value with the right Infor CloudSuite partner

We’re the largest independent Infor M3 partner in the world and a leading Infor Alliance and Channel Partner. When we work with you, we focus on the outcomes you want to achieve, the organisational changes required and the practical considerations involved in delivering a business-critical cloud ERP platform.
 
With over 300 certified M3 consultants across the globe, we help you reduce risk and accelerate time to value, whether you’re moving from an on-premises M3 environment, replacing a legacy ERP system or rolling out CloudSuite across multiple countries.

Elevate to cloud with confidence 

Through Elevate, our proven approach to cloud migration, you gain a structured understanding of your current situation before committing to a full implementation project. As part of the engagement, we review your business strategy, current processes, data, integrations and change readiness.

Using Infor’s Industry Process Catalogue, we compare your existing processes with predefined good-practice processes to identify where standard functionality can be adopted and where your business has specific requirements. The output is a clear implementation roadmap, project scope, cost estimate and change adoption assessment to support informed decision-making.

Data migration is a critical step in digital transformation 

Data migration can feel overwhelming, especially when years of historical data have built up across systems, spreadsheets and processes. But it’s a key step building a reliable foundation for digital transformation. Migration to a new ERP platform also represents a rare opportunity to make a fresh start. Instead of copying the same inefficiencies into a new system, it gives your business the chance to review what data to keep, archive and how information should be managed in the future. With the right expertise, strategy and tools in place, data migration no longer needs to be a painful process. Read our article for more on what your business needs to know about data migration, from the common pitfalls and challenges to the planning steps that can support a smoother, more controlled migration.

  • Infor M3 is the ERP system at the core of Infor CloudSuite solutions. Infor CloudSuite is the wider cloud-based suite, combining M3 with industry-specific functionality, digital capabilities and cloud services. 

  • Moving from Infor M3 on-premises to Infor CloudSuite gives your business access to new functionality, continuous updates and modern cloud capabilities. It also helps reduce technical debt, improve scalability and create a stronger foundation for changing regulations, automation, AI and future innovation. 

  • Data migration depends on your current setup, business goals and the extent of process change required as part of the move. We provide best practices tailored to your specific challenges, making sure each stage of the migration is properly prepared and managed as smoothly as possible. Speak to our team to see what this could look like for your business. 

  • Multi-tenant means Infor CloudSuite customers use a shared cloud application environment, while their data remains separate and secure. This allows Infor to manage infrastructure, security and updates centrally, giving businesses access to scalable cloud services and continuous innovation. For organisations used to managing their own updates, this can mean a different way of working. But the main benefit is the platform remains current, secure and ready to adopt new capabilities, without placing the burden of full updates on internal teams. 

  • Infor CloudSuite supports AI and agentic AI by combining cloud technology with industry-specific processes and connected business data. With CloudSuite built around how specific industries operate, it means AI capabilities can be applied in a more relevant and practical way across core processes. This gives businesses a stronger foundation for automation, AI and agentic capabilities as they evolve, with industry processes and data structures already built into the platform. 

  • Infor CloudSuite is built around industry-specific suites with predefined good-practice processes and functionality for specific sectors. This means businesses can spend less time bridging software gaps and focus more on innovation, efficiency and growth. Microsoft Dynamics 365 offers a broad, flexible business application platform that can be configured across several industries and use cases. It also sits in the wider Microsoft ecosystem, making it easier to connect ERP with tools such as Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Azure and Copilot. 

    Both platforms come with advanced AI capabilities designed to improve productivity, automate processes and support faster, more informed decision-making. The right choice for your business, however, depends on your industry, operating model, existing systems, data requirements and long-term business goals. If you need help deciding which platform is the best fit, we’d be happy to advise, drawing on our expertise as the largest independent Infor M3 partner in the world and as a Microsoft Gold Partner.
