Can Sama integrate Infor applications with non-Infor systems?

Yes. That’s one of the key benefits of ION—and a core strength of Sama. We help you connect Infor ERP (LN, CloudSuite, M3) with systems like:

  • Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, NetSuite

  • Workday, ADP, SuccessFactors

  • PLM, MES, and WMS platforms

  • eCommerce portals or supplier systems

  • Custom databases or APIs

We design loosely coupled integrations using ION, standard BODs (Business Object Documents), APIs, or flat-file exchanges—ensuring agility and upgradability.

Do you help design the overall integration strategy?

Absolutely. We don’t just build connections—we help you define a strategic integration roadmap aligned with your current and future architecture. This includes:

  • Choosing between ION, third-party middleware, or hybrid models

  • Deciding what should be real-time vs. batch

  • Defining governance, version control, and monitoring mechanisms

  • Planning for scalability, failover, and audit compliance

We work with both IT and business stakeholders to align integration design with operational priorities.

What’s your approach to troubleshooting ION issues?

Our troubleshooting approach is proactive and methodical:

  1. Flow Monitoring – We use ION Desk and ION Monitor to track document statuses, errors, and message queues.

  2. Root Cause Analysis – We examine logs, message payloads, and connection configurations to isolate issues.

  3. Error Handling Setup – We configure automated error routing, reprocessing rules, and alert mechanisms.

  4. Data Validation – We check master data, document structure, and endpoint configurations for inconsistencies.

  5. Collaboration with Infor Support – If needed, we engage with Infor’s support teams to address platform-level issues.

We also provide documentation and training to empower your internal teams to handle recurring issues independently.

Can Sama help us migrate or rearchitect legacy integrations to ION?

Yes. If you’re currently using custom scripts, FTP processes, or legacy middleware, we can:

  • Assess your current integration landscape

  • Design reusable and scalable ION-based alternatives

  • Build and test new integrations with minimal disruption

  • Document the new architecture and train your team

We’ve helped clients modernize brittle point-to-point setups into maintainable, event-driven ION frameworks.

How do you ensure integrations are scalable and future-proof?

Our integration design principles focus on:

  • Loose coupling – Reducing dependencies between systems

  • Standardization – Leveraging BODs and industry data models

  • Governance – Implementing clear naming, logging, and documentation standards

  • Monitoring – Ensuring observability across all integration touchpoints

  • Extensibility – Designing for easy modification or addition of endpoints as your business evolves

We also factor in Infor’s update cadence—especially for multi-tenant environments—to ensure your integrations remain stable during upgrades.

Will my existing Infor systems be impacted during the integration process?

We take great care to minimize disruptions during the integration process. Our team follows a structured approach, ensuring that your systems remain operational during integration. We perform rigorous testing in parallel to ensure everything works smoothly before going live. Additionally, we provide support and training to help your team adjust to the new integrated environment.

Can you integrate Infor with third-party software?

Yes, we specialize in third-party software integration. Whether it’s CRM tools like Salesforce, financial systems like QuickBooks, or custom-built applications, we can integrate these with your Infor ERP, CRM, or any other system via APIs or middleware. This allows for seamless data exchange and centralized business operations.
