At WM Synergy, we support manufacturers through the entire cloud migration journey, ensuring smooth transitions, minimal downtime, and maximum long-term value.
Why Migrate Infor XA to the Cloud?
Manufacturers are embracing cloud environments to enhance performance, agility, and control:
- Improved Accessibility – Secure access to Infor XA from any device, location, or facility.
- Lower IT Costs – Reduced hardware maintenance and infrastructure overhead.
- Enhanced Integration – Easier to connect XA with CRM, BI, supply chain, and analytics platforms.
- Scalability & Flexibility – Expand users, locations, or capacity without costly server upgrades.
- Strong Security & Disaster Recovery – Cloud platforms offer continuous backups, redundancy, and monitoring.
- Future-Ready Infrastructure – Supports AI, IoT, predictive analytics, and real-time decision support.
Cloud migration modernizes ERP operations while preserving the stability of the proven Infor XA framework.
How the Infor XA Cloud Migration Process Works
1. Assessment & Migration Strategy
WM Synergy begins with a complete review of your current XA environment, identifying customizations, dependencies, performance needs, and business goals. We then develop a cloud migration roadmap aligned to your operations and budget.
2. Platform & Deployment Selection
We help determine the right hosting strategy, whether full cloud, hybrid cloud, or private cloud, balancing flexibility, performance, and control.
3. System Preparation & Data Migration
Our team validates, cleans, and prepares data before securely migrating databases, configurations, and integrations to the cloud environment.
4. Testing & Performance Validation
Extensive testing confirms system stability, data accuracy, and seamless integration, ensuring zero operational disruption during go-live.
5. Go-Live & Ongoing Support
WM Synergy provides launch-day support and post-migration monitoring to ensure the system operates efficiently. We continue to assist with training, troubleshooting, and performance optimization.
