IFS Services

IFS Consulting

The value an organization gets from IFS is largely decided before go-live: in the choices made before and during implementation.

Most IFS implementations use 60 to 70 percent of what the platform can do. The difference is rarely the software: it is the choices made before and during implementation. IFS Consulting covers those choices in five phases, from analysis and design to training, so an IFS Cloud environment delivers what it was bought for.

From analysis to adoption: five steps to a better outcome

Five phases, each with concrete results. They work best as a complete route, but you can enter at any point. You always know exactly where things stand.

Technical upgrade and functional improvement run in parallel, not one after the other. That saves time and means you do not pay twice for the same work.

Analysis and Design: you know exactly where you stand and where the gains are

You know there is more to get out of your IFS environment. But where do you start? We build a data-driven blueprint of your processes and put together a strategic roadmap. Before the project even kicks off, you already know the business value.

Result: a Business Value Overview and a visual roadmap.

Implementation and Realization: your plan becomes reality, without surprises

A good plan is one thing. Turning it into a working system without disrupting the business is another. We configure, build, and test your IFS environment according to a solid design, working closely with the experts inside your organization.

Result: a working system, clear documentation, and trained key users.

Development and Optimization: your application grows with your business

Markets shift and processes evolve. Software that cannot keep up becomes a problem. We make sure your IFS environment keeps moving with you, through new functionality, process changes, and AI integrations that are actually useful.

Result: continuous improvements and optimized workflows.

Maintenance and Support: your system runs stable, your team focuses on the business

You want the system to just work. No fires to fight, no tickets piling up. Our support team monitors stability, handles updates, and flags optimization opportunities before they become problems.

Result: a stable system, timely updates, and proactive advice.

Training and Education: you embed knowledge in your organization

A well-configured system is worthless if people do not know how to use it. Knowledge fades after go-live. New hires start from scratch. We build training programs tailored to your processes so adoption stays high and onboarding is fast.

Result: higher user satisfaction and better data quality.

There is no finish line. Every optimization round starts a new analysis cycle.

Which step do you start from?

The ideal route covers all five phases, but every situation is different. You can enter at any point.

  • Technically ready, but using 60-70% of IFS Cloud? We analyze where the other 30-40% is.
  • Already running IFS Cloud? We analyze your current setup and identify where the real improvement opportunities are.
  • Unhappy with your current partner? We take over management in a structured, low-disruption way.

Value modelled before anything is configured

We work along IFS Business Value Assurance: first a shared Six Box picture of initiatives, obstacles and enablers, then an indicative business case with a five-year ramp-up.

Customers use that picture internally to justify the project. In practice a first business case stands in days, not months.

Questions before an IFS programme starts

A better IFS result starts before configuration, when value, scope and operating model are still movable.

Start with the business decision behind the project: which result must improve, which process carries it and which teams need to work differently. Analysis and Design makes that visible before delivery starts.

We connect the operating model, IFS capability and business case. That keeps scope decisions tied to value instead of preference or habit.

AI readiness belongs in the design phase. Data quality, approval rules and ownership decide whether IFS.ai, digital workers or automation can be trusted later.

Delivery hands over to a run rhythm: upgrades, application management and a named team that knows your environment. That is IFS Support, and the handover is part of the plan from day one.

No. The entry point follows your situation: a stalled project, a selection, or one process under pressure. Analysis and design scales from a two-week verdict to a full blueprint.
