Why teams connect IBM Informix and SAP Business ByDesign

Give your engineers SAP Business ByDesign's data in IBM Informix: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Purchase Orders, Opportunities, Projects, Employees from SAP Business ByDesign into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever SAP Business ByDesign is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in IBM Informix sync back into SAP Business ByDesign with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Replicate Informix tables into a cloud warehouse using its change data capture interface for near-real-time reporting.
  • Sync sensor and meter readings stored in Informix TimeSeries structures to analytics platforms.
  • Replicate customer invoices into a reporting database or collections tool without manual exports.
  • Align the ByDesign material master with external product catalogs and inventory systems.
