Migrate your Infor CloudSuite Customer Relationship Management (CRM) data
Industry-specific ERP-embedded CRM (formerly Saleslogix) tightly integrated with Infor CloudSuite Industrial and Distribution, sold to mid-market and enterprise manufacturers and distributors who already run Infor's back office.
In its favor
Why people choose Infor CloudSuite Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
The signal that keeps Infor CloudSuite Customer Relationship Management (CRM) on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Deep ERP integration for manufacturers already running Infor CloudSuite Industrial — CRM and back-office share the same database and customer record, eliminating duplicate entry across sales and operations.
Strong territory and quota management tooling — sales management can assign quotas by rep, team, region, and product line and track progress against forecast periods in a single view.
Over 2000 BPM (business process management) integrations via Infor ION enable rich workflow automation connecting CRM events to ERP transactions, pricing, and fulfillment.
Cost-effective relative to enterprise CRMs like Salesforce — customers explicitly cite lower total cost while gaining sufficient sales and customer-service functionality for complex distribution workflows.
Reliable order capture and customer contract management — quote-to-order workflows surface within the CRM and connect directly to the ERP's order management, keeping sales and finance aligned.
Slow performance and interface lag when the database grows large — users report significant delays loading groups and running queries as data volume increases, degrading daily productivity.
Outdated user interface compared to modern SaaS CRMs — the web client and navigation feel dated, contributing to lower user adoption and increased reliance on Infor's Outlook desktop integration.
Steep learning curve and complex implementation — the system requires significant training investment and often needs a certified implementation partner, adding 15–30% to total cost of ownership.
Overly complex workflows for straightforward sales processes — multi-step procedures that should be simple require more clicks and navigation than competing CRMs, frustrating sales reps.
Limited API documentation and self-service export options — power users report difficulty extracting data without using the built-in group export (Excel/CSV), which does not include all relational fields.

What gets migrated
Infor CloudSuite Customer Relationship Management (CRM) object support
Object-by-object support for Infor CloudSuite Customer Relationship Management (CRM) migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Accounts
Fully supportedAccounts are the top-level organizational records in Infor CRM, holding company-level data including SIC code, revenue, employee count, and territory assignments. The CRM tab on the Customers form maintains this data. We migrate Accounts as the primary parent object and preserve the cross-reference to Sales Contacts via the contact's AccountId foreign key.
Contacts (Sales Contacts)
Mapping requiredSales Contacts are linked to Accounts and store the individual contact's name, role, phone, and email. Outlook import/export does not sync — it duplicates records. We handle deduplication during migration scoping and map the cross-reference to the parent Account using the AccountId lookup.
Opportunities
Fully supportedOpportunities track deal stage, value, probability, and close date. They link to Accounts and can attach to Prospects or Customers. We preserve the stage, value, probability, owner assignment, and the Account lookups. Custom Opportunity fields are mapped field-by-field to the destination.
Leads
Fully supportedLeads are captured via the Leads form and can be converted to Opportunities. We migrate the Lead record including status, source, and owner. If the destination has a separate Lead object (like Salesforce), we land them there; if not, we merge into Contacts and preserve lead source as a custom property.
Activities (Tasks and Events)
Mapping requiredActivities and Events track calls, meetings, notes, and tasks with due dates and owner assignments. Infor stores them against Contacts or Opportunities. We map the Activity type, description, date, and linked Contact/Opportunity ID. Multi-day Events require date-range mapping.
Sales Forecasts
Mapping requiredSales Forecasts aggregate Opportunities into forecast periods. The Sales Periods form defines period date ranges. We map forecast totals and the period schema — these are date-window constructs that require explicit mapping to the destination CRM's fiscal period or forecast group.
Campaigns and Campaign Items
Fully supportedCampaigns store campaign type, status, start/end dates, and budget. Campaign Items link products or contacts to a campaign. We migrate Campaigns and Campaign Items preserving the campaign association. Campaign status values map to the destination's lifecycle stage equivalent.
Products and Price Lists
Mapping requiredProducts and price lists are managed in the CRM for quoting. The Price List form stores pricing tiers. We migrate the product catalog and associated price schedules. Complex tiered pricing requires value-level mapping to the destination's pricing model.
Quotes and Sales Orders
Mapping requiredQuotes and Orders in Infor CRM are linked to Opportunities and Accounts. The Quote holds products, prices, and discounts. We migrate Quote headers and line items with Opportunity and Account lookups preserved where possible. Historical orders are migrated as read-only records in most destination CRMs.
Tickets (Customer Service)
Mapping requiredInfor CRM's ticketing system stores support cases with status, priority, assigned agent, and conversation history. We map the ticket record, linked Account/Contact, status, and notes. Multi-line ticket comments may require flattening into a single notes field in the destination.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredInfor CRM supports custom fields on Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, and Tickets. These are user-defined properties with Infor-specific field types (picklists, dates, lookups). We inventory all custom fields during the discovery phase and map each to the destination's equivalent custom property, flagging any Infor-specific picklist values that require value translation.
Attachments
Mapping requiredAttachments can be stored against Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, and Tickets. The Outlook integration can attach emails. We export attachments to a file store and create links in the destination system. Attachment metadata (filename, type, date, linked object) is preserved in the migration manifest.
Territories and Quotas
Mapping requiredTerritory assignments map sales reps to geographic or account-based regions. Quotas are set per rep per territory per period. We migrate the territory structure and quota values, noting that the destination CRM's quota management may not have a direct equivalent — quota records may become custom objects or Opportunities.
Users and Owners
Mapping requiredUsers in Infor CRM serve as record Owners and are linked to Territories. We map Users to the destination CRM's user accounts, preserving the Owner relationship on Opportunities, Tickets, and Activities. Inactive users are archived rather than deleted to preserve historical ownership.
Tags and Lists (Groups)
Mapping requiredInfor CRM uses Groups to segment records — a Group is a saved query result with a name. We migrate the Group definition (the query criteria) and apply it in the destination, or replicate the resulting record list. Groups referencing large datasets require chunked processing.
