Introducing Infor Leap: The Safest, Most Predictable Path from On‑Premise SyteLine to the Cloud
For many manufacturers running older on‑premise SyteLine environments, modernising to the cloud can feel like a high‑risk decision. Years of customisations, manual processes, unstable integrations, and mounting technical debt often cause organisations to delay moving forward—despite knowing that modernisation is inevitable.
Infor Leap changes this.
Infor Leap is a structured, low‑risk cloud migration program designed specifically to help existing Infor customers transition to Infor CloudSuite Industrial with confidence. It replaces ambiguity with clarity, removes guesswork from planning, and offers commercial safeguards rarely found in ERP modernisation programs.
Why Manufacturers Delay SyteLine Cloud Upgrades
Manufacturers typically hesitate because:
- Customisations feel too complex to migrate
- Integrations may break or require redevelopment
- Hardware and databases are deeply embedded in operations
- Teams worry about disruption or downtime
- Budgets are tight and cloud costs feel uncertain
Infor Leap directly addresses these fears through structured planning, predictable costs, and a guided path to the cloud.
What Is Infor Leap?
Infor Leap is a cloud‑upgrade framework designed exclusively for existing Infor customers. It includes:
- A complimentary cloud readiness assessment
- Fixed‑fee migration services
- Predictable first‑year cloud licensing
- A structured technical and functional migration approach
- A satisfaction‑based opt‑out option
- Optional value‑accelerating add‑ons, such as Velocity Suite
Its objective is simple: make your migration to cloud low‑risk, smooth, and financially predictable.
Why Infor Leap Makes Your Cloud Migration Low‑Risk and Predictable
1. Complimentary Cloud Readiness Workshop
The Cloud Readiness Workshop identifies customisations, integrations, data issues, and process gaps so customers can enter the project with clarity rather than uncertainty.
2. Fixed‑Fee Implementation Services
Leap eliminates scope creep by offering fixed‑fee cloud migration services, ensuring transparent budgeting, clear scope, and no unexpected consulting costs.
3. Year‑One SaaS Fees That Match Your Current Maintenance
Infor Leap aligns your first‑year SaaS subscription with your existing annual maintenance spend (as part of a five‑year term), creating a budget‑neutral entry point to cloud.
4. Two‑Year Satisfaction‑Based Opt‑Out Clause
If the cloud solution doesn’t meet expectations, customers can exit after two years under a clearly defined penalty structure.
Why Adding Velocity Suite Unlocks Immediate Business Value
Velocity Suite is an optional, high‑impact add‑on designed to accelerate value immediately after go‑live.
It provides:
- Process mining to reveal inefficiencies and bottlenecks
- AI‑driven recommendations for smarter decision‑making
- Automation tools that eliminate repetitive tasks
- Industry‑specific AI agents to help teams work faster and more accurately
- Pre‑configured Value+ automations for rapid productivity gains
The first year of Velocity Suite is included at no cost when customers commit to the standard five‑year term.
This means customers see measurable improvements right away—without needing extra budget in their first year on the cloud. Early wins build confidence, accelerate ROI, and create internal momentum for transformation.
