Morsa publishes this guide. Morsa is software with an AI agent that works in your ERP, email and Teams; on SX.e or CSD it enters orders and keeps PO dates current, and a person approves.
Quick answer
CSD at your size: subscription of $180,000 to $330,000 a year at 100 users, $360,000 to $660,000 at 200, our arithmetic on ERP Research’s March 2026 range [4]. Infor publishes no price.
The move: Infor Leap is a fixed-fee, fixed-timeline migration for current on-premises customers [6]; ERP Advisors Group says to treat it as “a brand-new ERP implementation” [3]. The fee is not published.
Staying put: no end-of-support date for on-premises SX.e has been announced, in the latest review we found (ERP Advisors Group, August 2023) [3]; your yearly cost is servers, Infor maintenance and IT time.
Buying new: new customers cannot buy SX.e on-premises, per the same review [3]; Infor’s own distribution page presents SX.e as the core of its cloud suites [1]. Confirm both with your Infor rep.
What CSD costs at 100 and 200 users
Infor quotes every deal. These are ERP Research’s ranges, dated 15 March 2026 [4], worked to your user count (users x $150 to $275 x 12 months):
Item | 100 users | 200 users |
|---|---|---|
CSD subscription, a year | $180,000 to $330,000 | $360,000 to $660,000 |
Implementation, one time (ERP Research’s band for 100 to 300 users, 6 to 12 months) | $200,000 to $600,000 | $200,000 to $600,000 |
Your own staff’s time | Adds 20% to 40% to implementation | Same |
Five-year total, our arithmetic | $1.14 million to $2.49 million | $2.04 million to $4.14 million |
The five-year total is five years of subscription plus implementation with staff time (low end: 20% on $200,000; high end: 40% on $600,000). Add Infor WMS at $50 to $100 a warehouse user a month and $30,000 to $150,000 for each integration, such as CRM, ecommerce or EDI [4]. Other Infor products are priced in our Infor pricing guide.
The cost of staying on-premises
Cost | What we found |
|---|---|
Servers and hosting | $50,000 to $200,000 or more a year for on-premises, ERP Research [4] |
Infor maintenance | Not published; it is on your current Infor invoice |
Progress database licences | SX.e runs on the Progress database [5]; the licence cost is not published and is on your invoices |
IT staff | Not published; count the hours your team spends on the ERP and its servers |
What your release gets depends on Infor’s lifecycle policy [3]. The latest release is on mainstream maintenance, with updates and hotfixes. Releases from the previous two years are on extended maintenance. Anything older is on sustaining maintenance: support, but no updates or hotfixes. Infor has also said it cannot make new CSD upgrades work for on-premises SX.e, and only the latest releases can add Infor OS (Infor’s integration and data platform) in a hybrid setup [3].
Add last year’s four costs and compare the sum with the CSD subscription for your user count. The gap is what the cloud costs you each year, before Leap’s first-year terms.
Infor Leap against a new implementation
Infor Leap [6] | ERP Advisors Group’s view [3] | |
|---|---|---|
What it is | Infor’s migration package for current on-premises and single-tenant customers, announced October 2025 | An ERP selection consultancy’s review, August 2023 |
Price | Fixed fee and fixed timeline, not published; “no additional software fees your first year” | Budget it as a new ERP project |
How it works | A Cloud Readiness workshop, then Infor’s standard industry processes; custom work only where a process needs it | Custom changes made through SX Architect must be rebuilt or dropped; data must be cleaned before Infor’s migration tools move it |
Guarantee | A two-year satisfaction assurance | None |
They fit together. Leap’s fixed fee rests on standard processes, so the more custom code you run, the more the consultant’s view applies. Ask Infor to quote Leap against your list of custom changes, and ask what “no additional software fees” covers: whether the CSD subscription replaces your current maintenance in year one.
CloudSuite Distribution against on-premises SX.e
On-premises SX.e | CloudSuite Distribution | |
|---|---|---|
Who runs it | Your IT team or a partner, on your servers [2] | Infor, in its cloud on AWS [2][3] |
Upgrades | When you schedule them | Infor pushes them [4] |
Custom changes | Direct code changes through SX Architect, via partners [3] | Extensions through Infor’s tools, built to survive upgrades [3] |
What else plugs in | Infor OS on the latest releases only [3] | Infor OS; Velocity Suite, Infor’s AI agents, at one annual price Infor does not publish [7]; Rhythm, Infor’s B2B ecommerce; Infor WMS [1] |
Stay, move to CSD, or leave
If | Then |
|---|---|
You are on a current release with few custom changes | Stay for now; compare your on-premises cost with CSD and get the Leap terms in writing |
You need Infor’s cloud, AI or ecommerce | Move to CSD: $200,000 to $600,000 over 6 to 12 months on ERP Research’s range, or Leap’s fixed fee |
You have heavy custom code or are on an old release | Treat any move as a new ERP and compare CSD with Prophet 21, Eclipse, Acumatica, NetSuite and Business Central; mid-market replacements are priced in our ERP implementation cost guide |
Before any move, list what must come across: price matrices and contracts, vendor and customer rebate records, special pricing agreements (SPAs), EDI maps per trading partner, and every custom report and change. The other distribution ERPs are compared in distribution management software.
The add-ons SX.e sites buy
Need | Add-ons that name SX.e or CSD |
|---|---|
SPA and rebate claims | Celerity lists Infor SX.e [8]; Band lists Infor CSD [9] |
Orders from email and PDF | Canals lists Infor CloudSuite Distribution [10]; Conexiom lists Infor among 40+ ERPs [11]; Morsa enters them in SX.e or CSD |
Warehouse | Infor WMS [1][4] |
B2B ecommerce | Infor Rhythm for Commerce [1] |
Prices for the rebate tools are in rebate management software; order entry tools are priced in AI order entry software pricing.
The orders and dates SX.e waits for
When a customer PO arrives as a PDF or an email, Morsa drafts the sales order in SX.e or CSD. It connects the way other SX.e add-ons do: through SX.e’s own APIs, such as the calls that price, check stock and submit orders, or by reading the Progress database over ODBC, as set up with your IT team in the rollout [12].
It matches the customer’s part numbers to yours; lines it is unsure of go to a customer service rep.
It asks suppliers for a ship date on every open PO from the buyer’s mailbox and updates the PO dates; a slip that hits a customer order waits for the buyer to approve the fix.
During a move it reads and writes SX.e and CSD side by side. To see it on your own SX.e orders, book a 30-minute walkthrough.
What to do this week
Find your SX.e release number and its maintenance tier.
Add up last year’s on-premises cost: Infor maintenance, servers, Progress licences and IT hours.
List every custom change and who maintains it.
Ask your Infor rep for a written CSD quote at your user count, with implementation and Leap terms split out, and get a partner’s new-implementation quote beside it.
