Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Pronto Xi to Infor CloudSuite is a full ERP data migration with specific extraction complexity because Pronto Xi stores all operational data in IBM Informix rather than exposing it through a public REST API. We engage specialist extraction tooling to pull structured records directly from Informix tables, preserving GL account hierarchies, multi-location inventory balances, BOM relationships, and open transaction aging. Long-running Pronto Xi implementations frequently accumulate bespoke custom modules and modified core tables over 10-20 years that require a detailed customisation audit before mapping to Infor equivalents. We sequence open AR/AP extraction before the final period close at source, then apply matching payments or credit allocations at the destination to maintain clean aging reports. Workflows, automations, custom reports built on Pronto Xi's RAD framework, and forms management do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Infor CloudSuite.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

What's pushing teams away

  • Long-running implementations accumulate bespoke custom modules and reports that become difficult to maintain or upgrade, creating technical debt that makes migration feel necessary but daunting.
  • Customer support quality is inconsistent — some reviews cite slow response times or resolution gaps, particularly for complex technical issues requiring database-level investigation.
  • Network dependency for remote access creates session fragility — dropped connections leave orphaned processes and database locks requiring manual admin intervention to clear.
  • Pricing opacity and module-level costs mean organisations face unpredictable bills as they expand usage across departments and sites.
  • Implementation timelines stretch from weeks to months, and the system enforces Pronto's own process logic rather than bending to existing business workflows, causing friction during rollout.

Choosing

Infor CloudSuite Corporate logo

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

What's pulling them in

  • Infor CloudSuite is industry-specific out of the box — manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, and food & beverage editions ship with preconfigured workflows that reduce the need for extensive customization and accelerate time to value for operations-heavy organizations.
  • The platform's deep integration with Excel for financial reporting is frequently cited as a key productivity feature, allowing finance teams to pull data directly and make changes without leaving familiar tooling.
  • AWS-hosted multi-tenant deployment eliminates data center management for IT teams, and Infor OS provides a unified integration layer (ION) that connects the CloudSuite to third-party applications without point-to-point middleware.
  • Organizations with multi-site or multi-country operations choose Infor for its multicurrency, multilanguage, and local regulatory compliance capabilities across 175+ countries, which simplifies consolidation for global CFOs.
  • The two-tier ERP strategy positioning lets corporate headquarters run CloudSuite while subsidiaries run lighter instances, which appeals to complex organizational structures that want standardization without full replacement.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Pronto Xi

Chart of Accounts

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

GL Account

1:1
Fully supported

Pronto Xi GL accounts use a hierarchical code system stored in IBM Informix with parent-child relationships and account attributes. We extract account codes, descriptions, account types, and parent references via direct Informix DB queries, preserving the full hierarchy for import into Infor CloudSuite's GL Account structure. Any accounts with non-standard segment structures require custom field mapping during extraction.

Pronto Xi

Customer

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Customer

1:1
Fully supported

Pronto Xi customer records include address books, contact details, payment terms, credit limits, and tax codes stored as structured Informix records. We map these to Infor CloudSuite Customer with handling for multi-address scenarios, ship-to and bill-to splits, and the customer's tax jurisdiction assignment. Credit limit and payment term overrides at the customer level migrate as custom fields if the destination schema does not support them natively.

Pronto Xi

Supplier

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Supplier

1:1
Fully supported

Pronto Xi supplier records mirror the customer structure with address books, contact details, payment terms, and tax codes. We map these to Infor CloudSuite Supplier, preserving the same multi-address handling and payment term assignments. Supplier-specific fields like WHS vendor codes and Erichson compliance flags migrate as custom fields with documentation for the customer's admin to configure.

Pronto Xi

Inventory Item

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item

1:1
Fully supported

Pronto Xi inventory items include item masters with BOMs, cost layers, reorder points, and multi-warehouse location assignments stored in Informix. We extract item headers, cost records per site, and current stock quantities per location, maintaining the inventory valuation method (FIFO, average, standard) during migration. Inactive items flagged in Pronto Xi for write-off or discontinuation are migrated with their status and held for admin review at destination.

Pronto Xi

Stock Location

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Warehouse

1:1
Fully supported

Pronto Xi multi-location inventory assignments require extraction of warehouse codes, addresses, and bin location hierarchies per item. We map these to Infor CloudSuite Warehouse and Location structures, preserving any custom location naming conventions used in picking and receiving workflows. Multi-site configurations where the same item carries different stock quantities per warehouse migrate with full balance detail.

Pronto Xi

Bill of Materials

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Bill of Material

1:1
Fully supported

Pronto Xi BOMs store component items, quantities per assembly, and revision versions tied to manufacturing processes in Informix. We extract BOM headers and component lines, mapping to Infor CloudSuite's BOM structure with revision control preserved. Any BOMs referencing discontinued items or components with no Infor equivalent are flagged for the customer's engineering team to resolve before production data moves.

Pronto Xi

Work Order

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Job

1:1
Fully supported

Pronto Xi work orders carry routing steps, labor allocations, and component consumption records tied to specific BOM versions. We map these to Infor CloudSuite Job with work order status, routing operation sequences, and component allocations preserved. Jobs in progress at migration time are flagged with their completion percentage so that Infor job costing picks up from the correct point without double-counting material or labor.

Pronto Xi

Open AR Record

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Invoice / Credit Memo

1:1
Fully supported

Outstanding receivables require extraction with aging buckets, invoice numbers, due dates, and payment reference history. We sequence open AR extraction before the final period close at source, then apply matching payments or credit allocations at the destination in the correct chronological order. Any invoices with partial payments carry both the remaining balance and the payment history so that aging reports remain accurate post-migration.

Pronto Xi

Open AP Record

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Voucher / Credit Memo

1:1
Fully supported

Outstanding payables migrate with the same sequencing discipline as AR: extraction before final period close, then allocation of matching payments or credit notes at the destination in chronological order. Vouchers with hold status or dispute flags are mapped to equivalent Infor statuses with a custom field carrying the original Pronto Xi hold reason for audit trail.

Pronto Xi

Sales Order

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Sales Order

1:1
Fully supported

Open sales orders include headers with pricing and discounting and line items with delivery scheduling. We extract order headers and lines with pricing, discounting, and fulfillment progress flags. Status at migration time determines whether orders land as Infor Sales Orders in open, confirmed, or picking status to avoid inadvertent re-processing of completed lines.

Pronto Xi

Purchase Order

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Purchase Order

1:1
Fully supported

Open purchase orders carry supplier references, line items with pricing, and delivery scheduling. We extract PO headers and lines, mapping supplier codes to the Infor Supplier records created earlier in the migration. Purchase orders with partial receipts carry receipt history so that Infor's receiving module resumes from the correct balance.

Pronto Xi

Custom Module / UDF

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Custom Object / Extension Field

1:many
Fully supported

Pronto Xi environments frequently contain bespoke modules built on the SDK or RAD framework alongside User Defined Fields on standard tables. We identify each custom element during scoping, map its data structure to either an Infor CloudSuite custom object or extension field, and flag any that have no equivalent in the destination schema for the customer's admin to decide between replacement or retirement.

Pair-specific challenges

  • IBM Informix extraction requires specialist tooling

    Pronto Xi stores all operational data in IBM Informix, and the platform has no public REST API for bulk data extraction. Application-level exports are incomplete and omit historical transactions. We engage specialist Informix extraction tooling with read-only database access, scoped during assessment and configured with appropriate Informix view permissions. The extraction must complete within a stable network window because Pronto Xi's session architecture can leave orphaned database locks if connectivity drops during the final data pull.

  • Bespoke custom modules lack external documentation

    Long-running Pronto Xi implementations accumulate bespoke modules, modified core tables, and custom reports that often reference deprecated field IDs with no external documentation. We perform a detailed customisation audit during scoping, mapping each bespoke module to either an Infor CloudSuite equivalent or a custom field mapping that preserves the data outside the standard schema. Modules with no destination equivalent are flagged for the customer's admin to decide between rebuild or retirement.

  • Infor CloudSuite requires SQL Server 2008 or later source

    Infor CloudSuite's migration utility requires the source database to be SQL Server 2008 or later. Since Pronto Xi uses IBM Informix, we cannot use the Infor migration utility directly. We perform extraction from Informix, transform the data into the SQL Server-compatible staging schema required by Infor, and then use Infor's migration database approach to load into the CloudSuite target. This adds a transformation step not present in same-database-platform migrations.

  • Open AR/AP must sequence before period close at source

    Migrating open receivables and payables mid-period risks duplicate postings or payment allocation mismatches if not sequenced correctly. We extract all open AR/AP records before triggering the final period close at source, then apply matching payments or credit notes at the destination in the correct chronological order to maintain clean aging reports. Any payments or credit notes created between extraction and cutover require a delta migration run.

  • TrueForm Neo documents do not migrate as templates

    Pronto Xi's TrueForm Neo form management system stores document templates (invoices, picking slips, work orders, delivery dockets) with conditional display rules, barcode mappings, and brand formatting. These templates are Pronto Xi-specific and do not transfer to Infor CloudSuite's document management approach. We deliver a written inventory of every active TrueForm Neo template with its field mappings and conditional logic so that the customer's Infor admin can recreate them using Infor IDM or the equivalent reporting tool.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Pronto Xi to Infor CloudSuite Corporate data migration

  1. Discovery and Informix topology audit

    We audit the Pronto Xi environment across Informix database topology, active modules, custom modules, open transaction volume, inventory site count, GL account hierarchy depth, and BOM revision count. We identify all bespoke customisations built on the SDK or RAD framework, assess the stability of network connectivity for the final extraction window, and confirm whether the source is on-premise, cloud-hosted, or hybrid. The discovery output is a written migration scope and an Informix extraction plan specifying tables, views, and extraction account permissions.

  2. Schema design and Infor CloudSuite target configuration

    We design the destination schema in Infor CloudSuite. This includes configuring GL account structures to accommodate Pronto Xi's hierarchical codes, provisioning Customer and Supplier records with address book structures, setting up Warehouse and Location hierarchies to match the source's multi-site inventory, and creating custom objects or extension fields for any bespoke modules that lack Infor equivalents. Schema design is validated in a non-production Infor environment before any data moves.

  3. Informix extraction and SQL Server staging

    We run Informix extraction using specialist read-only tooling against the scoped tables identified in discovery. The extracted data is transformed into a SQL Server staging schema compatible with Infor CloudSuite's migration database requirements. We perform data quality checks on the staging data — duplicate detection, referential integrity validation, and mapping completeness — before loading into Infor. Any records failing validation are written to an exception report for the customer's admin to review.

  4. Period close sequencing and open transaction extraction

    We coordinate with the customer's finance team to sequence the final period close in Pronto Xi before extracting open AR and AP records. Open receivables and payables are extracted with full aging detail, payment history, and credit memo references. We apply matching payments and credit allocations at the destination in the correct chronological order to maintain clean aging reports post-migration. Any transactions created between extraction and cutover require a delta migration run.

  5. Infor migration database load and validation

    We load the transformed staging data into the Infor CloudSuite migration database using Infor's documented migration utility patterns. Each table sequence is loaded in dependency order — master data before transaction data, parent records before child records. We generate a data assessment report and review it with the customer's Infor admin, correcting any mapping errors or data quality issues before copying the migration database tables to the production database. This step runs in a non-production Infor environment first for validation.

  6. Cutover, delta sync, and document template handoff

    We freeze Pronto Xi writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified since the initial extraction, then switch the system of record to Infor CloudSuite. We deliver the customisation audit inventory and TrueForm Neo template documentation to the customer's admin team for rebuild. We support a two-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's operations and finance teams. We do not rebuild workflows, automations, or forms as part of the standard migration scope.
