Migrating from M3 on-premises to M3 multi-tenant cloud edition
The consulting team, led by our strong PMO, supported Ruiz Food Product, Inc.’s (Ruiz Foods) migration path from Infor M3 v13.4 on-premises to Infor CloudSuite. Ruiz Foods is a longstanding Infor customer, running Infor M3 F&B, Factory Track, Supply Chain Planning, dEPM, Optiva PLM. Doppio provided technical business consulting services to enable and test key business processes and ensure a consistent user experience in the CloudSuite. Following the carefully coordinated data migration events, we worked together with Infor and Ruiz Foods to provide expert resources and manage deliverables in the areas listed below.
- Integrations: EDI, Bank, Redzone, QMS and other Infor and 3rd-party app integrations
- Project Management: Project governance and stakeholder reporting, close coordination with Infor Cloud Ops
- Extensibility: MAK review and XtendM3 development, H5 scripting (porting code) and Mongoose framework development
- Reports and External Documents: M3 ad-hoc reporting, transition Streamserve to IDM Output Management
- Testing support: Testing support with business analysts and users, solution documentation for cloud edition, and homepages and personalizations
- User Management and System Administration: User management (security groups, roles and permissions), environment management
“When Ruiz Foods began the journey to migrate our core systems to the Cloud platform, it became clear this would be a huge effort not only for the Ruiz IT team, but for team members from every department within Ruiz Foods. As we planned our journey, Infor recommended The Doppio Group to assist as Infor believed we could build a strong partnership with them. Thank you, Infor! You were absolutely correct.”

Completing an application transformation project in just 9 months
Ruiz Foods came to us in need of completing an entire cloud migration project in nine months. We knew the desired timeline was ambitious, but our team was determined to not only make the project possible, but deliver it successfully.
After reviewing business requirements and understanding Ruiz Foods’ current environment and future state in the cloud, we planned a project path that gave Ruiz Foods the confidence to proceed with our team. We broke down the project into specialized work streams to work effectively as a team with Ruiz Foods and Infor. We emphasized the need for sprints, testing, iterations, and feedback to successfully work through each of the workstreams: integrations, extensibility, reports and external documents, testing support, governance and reporting, and user management and system administration.
As a result, we were able to co-lead a project and focus our efforts on Infor’s data migration efforts in a collaborative manner, making this application transformation project a success. Ruiz Foods is now running their business on the latest version of the Infor CloudSuite. The food manufacturer continues to work with our team of consultants integrate to Infor and 3rd party applications, enable new functionality released in the CloudSuite, and to efficiently support day to day business processes while they work to grow a successful business.
“Doppio’s dedicated project management team gave us confidence throughout the project. They provided focus on sprint activities and guided various workstreams including extensibility, user management, reporting and document output, as well as EDI and financial integrations. With Doppio, we worked collaboratively to manage the application and data migration efforts.
I have worked on many systems implementations over the years, but never have I experienced the kind of consistent support and teamwork displayed by numerous individuals from the Doppio team. Even when other vendors thought our timeline was too aggressive to be successful, Doppio understood the business need and we set out together on what many thought was an impossible task. With Doppio, it was not impossible. It was challenging, but we did it! No matter what craziness came up they were right there beside us innovating for new solutions and working long hours to make the project a success.”
