Upgrade Strategy Assessment in IFS Cloud: Efficient upgrade management for companies
In today’s era of digital transformation, it is crucial for companies to keep their system landscape up to date in order to remain competitive. IFS Cloud offers a comprehensive solution for businesses to optimize their business processes and improve their business results. An important component of this is an upgrade strategy that ensures the IFS Cloud implementation is carried out as efficiently and smoothly as possible. In this blog article, we will take a closer look at our Upgrade Strategy Assessment for your journey to IFS Cloud and show how it lays the foundation for the successful execution of your IFS Cloud upgrade.
What is the Upgrade Strategy Assessment?
The Upgrade Strategy Assessment is a comprehensive method to evaluate the state of the current IFS Applications™ instance (whether 7.5, 8, 9, or 10) and develop a tailored upgrade strategy for the company. It identifies potential challenges and allows companies to minimize risks in advance while simultaneously extracting the greatest added value in terms of functionalities, technologies, and improved processes from IFS Cloud. The assessment is conducted by our experienced IFS experts and is based on a wealth of experience, proven methods, and best practices.
Benefits of the Upgrade Strategy Assessment for companies:
Holistic overview
The assessment provides companies with a holistic overview of their current IFS environment, including the evaluation of configurations, customizations and integrations. This enables them to identify potentials and opportunities that an upgrade brings to their company. The goal of this assessment is to save as many customizations and interfaces as possible, which can either be smartly replaced in the IFS standard or are simply no longer needed.
Identification of potentials
Focusing on the business and processes! IFS Cloud offers numerous innovations that enable many new possibilities and optimization potentials as part of an upgrade project. In the Upgrade Strategy Assessment, we examine the pain points in current business processes and show how new technical means, such as workflows (Business Process Automation), can be optimally used. Whether it's BPA, AI, Machine Learning, MES integration or new production planning with MSO – we support our customers in exploiting the new potentials of the upgrade project.
