Why teams connect IBM Informix and Pigment

Work with Pigment's financial data straight from IBM Informix: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Scenarios, Data imports, Users and permissions, Applications from Pigment into TimeSeries objects, Stored procedures, Logical logs, Databases in IBM Informix and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against IBM Informix, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Pigment with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Keep dimension lists such as departments and cost centers consistent with master data in the ERP.
  • Sync headcount and compensation data from an HRIS into workforce planning models.
  • Feed inventory and transaction data from legacy Informix applications into modern ERPs during migration.
  • Replicate Informix tables into a cloud warehouse using its change data capture interface for near-real-time reporting.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on IBM Informix; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Pigment.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in IBM Informix propagate into Pigment, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Pigment appear in IBM Informix as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Pigment

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

IBM Informix objects Pigment objects
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Dimension lists Master data like accounts, products, or employees that metrics are sliced by
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Tables Row-based transactional data loaded into models from source systems
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Scenarios Versions such as budget, forecast, and actuals that give exported figures their context
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Data imports Scheduled loads that bring actuals from ERPs, CRMs, and HRIS into the model
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Users and permissions Access controls governing which model areas a sync can touch
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Applications Planning models organized by domain such as finance, sales, or workforce
