Fourth Shift to the Future
Is Your ERP Built for How Manufacturing Works Today?
Manufacturing has moved on since Fourth Shift’s core architecture was built. Today’s shop floor team expects mobile scanning and real-time inventory visibility. Planners expect AI-assisted scheduling, not manual workarounds. Leadership expects live dashboards, not end-of-month exports.
Infor Leap gives Fourth Shift customers a fixed-timeline path to CloudSuite Industrial (CSI), guided by Guide Technologies from first assessment to go-live.

Common Questions
How long does a migration actually take?
Timeline is confirmed in your Cloud Readiness Assessment and locked into your fixed-timeline proposal, so you know your go-live date before you commit.
What happens to our Fourth Shift customizations and reports?
Part of the readiness workshop is identifying which customizations CloudSuite’s built-in processes can replace outright, and which need to carry forward. Nothing is assumed, it’s mapped.
Is our data safe during the move?
Data migration is managed directly by your Guide implementation team with validation built into the process before go-live.
What does the Cloud Readiness Assessment cost?
It’s free, with no obligation to move forward.
Do we lose the Infor Leap incentives if we wait?
Leap’s year-one incentives are time-bound program terms.
