I am considering RMS -- but I need to be able to integrate our point-of-sale with an existing contacts (customer) database. We share our customer database with our fundraising databse, for example.
The current database is powered by Informix SE.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
We have an import utility that will allow you to map and bring all your data in. If you plan to contiue using that database you can import he data periodically to keep the RMS data updated. Or better once imported keep the data all in RMS

Not enough information here. You might want to have a seperate customer entry interface created that will populate and modify both databases, having the Informix data imported to RMS just once. It is doubtful that the two databases have the same tables and requirements.
Is this a not-for-profit?
RMS is a retail application set, but the underlining SQL database can have other interfaces designed to interact with it.
If you don't mind offshore work, I suggest you contact LanServices and have them put together an estimate. They did a great job for us designing RMScart for Newestech. This would give you a good idea of your budget so you can make up your mind.
