Implementation and realisation

Most implementations run into trouble not because the design was wrong, but because execution lost the thread. That is the risk we design out.

The design is set. The roadmap is clear. Now the plan has to become reality – and that’s where most implementations go wrong. Scope creep, delays, a project team that doesn’t know the operation.

Machinery and industrial equipment

Every process gets a verdict before a single line of code is written

The functional design from the analysis phase gets translated into a technical design. We work through the identified fit-gaps with your key users, one by one:

  • Green: we confirm the standard configuration.
  • Orange: together we determine whether a process change or a configuration adjustment is the better option.
  • Red: we help make a deliberate decision. Adapt the process, find an alternative, or accept the deviation.

Nothing gets built until the design is signed off. That’s how you avoid surprises at go-live.

You get a predictable implementation, from plan to reality

The analysis phase gives us a complete Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): a detailed overview of every step needed to get your application live. That document is your realistic schedule and your reliable budget.

Industry operations

Your implementation is fully documented and transparent

Our team configures IFS Cloud exactly as the approved design specifies. Integrations are set up and master data is structured to fit your industry. Every decision gets documented in CRIM: four documents covering Configuration, Reports, Integrations, and Master Data.

You’re confident the system works for the people on the floor

Technology is one thing. What happens on the floor is another. We test the complete solution together with your key users. Does it work as expected? Does it support their actual daily tasks? Their feedback is the last, and most important, sign-off before go-live.

Go-live is a planned step, not a leap. The first day after go-live is not the end of the project. It’s day one of the next phase.

Your key users become advocates, not adversaries

Because we spent time in the analysis phase getting to know your organization, we come to implementation workshops differently. We don’t just ask questions. We bring answers. Your key users can see that we understand their work and their challenges. That builds trust fast, and it turns potential resistance into active involvement.

Can you jump in at this phase directly?

Yes. If you already have a blueprint or an active project, we can start the implementation directly. We’ll run a compact design process based on conversations with your team.

That said, we’ll be honest: without the data analysis from the first phase, we’re working from assumptions and interviews. That carries more risk and often takes longer to get to the real issues. Our advice is to at least run a basic analysis of your transaction data first.

Your concrete deliverables

  • In-depth workshops with key users per department.
  • A detailed Solution Design for your IFS environment.
  • A solid project plan with all milestones and timelines.
  • Complete CRIM documentation (Configuration, Reports, Integrations, Master Data).
  • A correctly structured master data setup, specific to your industry.

Frequently asked questions

The Implementation & Realisation phase delivers a signed-off Solution Design, a detailed project plan with milestones, complete CRIM documentation (Configuration, Reports, Integrations, Master Data), and a correctly structured master data setup specific to your industry.

The Implementation & Realisation phase delivers a signed-off Solution Design, a detailed project plan with milestones, complete CRIM documentation (Configuration, Reports, Integrations, Master Data), and a correctly structured master data setup specific to your industry.

Yes, but without prior data analysis you are working from assumptions and interviews, which carries more risk. Eqeep recommends running at least a basic transaction data analysis first.

Go-live is a planned step, not a leap. Testing is done together with your key users before go-live, and day one after go-live starts the next phase of support and optimization.
