How Hosted ERP Supports Legacy Integrations While Modernizing Infrastructure

Modernizing your ERP system doesn’t always mean starting from scratch. For many businesses—especially in industries like manufacturing, rental, service, and construction—legacy systems still play a critical role in daily operations. Whether it’s a custom-built tool, a production control interface, or a third-party logistics solution, these systems are often too essential to discard. 

That’s where hosted ERP provides a strategic path forward. It offers a way to upgrade your infrastructure without disrupting the systems you rely on every day. 

Why Legacy Integrations Still Matter 

Legacy tools and custom integrations often hold key data, automate core workflows, or support niche functions specific to your industry. Rebuilding or replacing them in a modern cloud ERP environment can be time-consuming, expensive, or simply not feasible. 

Hosted ERP allows you to modernize your ERP system while keeping these critical connections intact. Because the software is licensed and configured by your organization—just deployed in a managed hosting environment—you maintain full control over integrations and extensions. 

The Benefits of a Hosted Approach 

Infrastructure modernization – Move away from aging servers and maintenance-heavy hardware 

Preserve what works – Keep the integrations, tools, and workflows that are already proven in your operations 

Reduce disruption – Avoid the need to rebuild your ERP architecture from the ground up 

Maintain flexibility – Customize and configure your ERP system as needed, with less IT burden 

Infor ERP Supports Hosted Deployments with Legacy Flexibility 

Infor ERP can be deployed in a hosted environment, giving you access to modern, industry-specific functionality while retaining control over your existing integrations. You can work with a trusted hosting provider or private cloud partner and continue using custom connections that support production, inventory, finance, or service management. 

Whether you’re gradually phasing out legacy systems or need them to run in parallel with modern tools, hosted ERP gives you the breathing room to evolve without compromise. 

Modern ERP doesn’t mean abandoning the systems that already work. Hosted ERP bridges the gap between old and new—helping your business modernize infrastructure while preserving key integrations.
