IFS Consulting

Maintenance and support

Your IFS environment is the engine of your organization. Most support partners wait for a ticket. By then the damage is already done.

Most support partners wait until you file a ticket. We don’t. Your IFS environment is the engine of your organization. You shouldn’t have to think about stability issues, missed updates, or small problems that slow your team down.

You get a partner that prevents problems, not just solves them

Our approach combines day-to-day management with forward thinking. You get fast help when you need it, and a team that’s already thinking about what comes next for your application.

Your team can work without interruption

Our service team actively monitors your environment. Users log issues through our service desk and get help fast. Simple problems are fixed straight away. Complex ones go to a specialist. The goal throughout is keeping disruption to your business as low as possible.

You stay effortlessly up-to-date and secure

IFS ships two major releases a year, R1 and R2. To keep support in place and avoid extra costs, you can fall at most two versions behind. You don’t need to track this yourself. We schedule updates with you, assess the impact in advance, and handle the transition in a controlled way.

You get advice tailored to your reality

Because we know your processes and configuration inside out, every IFS update comes with clear advice on which new features are actually worth your attention. We flag the relevant ones and bring concrete suggestions for what to do next.

Managed Services: clear agreements, predictable costs

Choose from four Managed Services tiers. Each gives you a fixed monthly fee and a clear scope of work. If you prefer flexibility, a prepaid support block is available too. We’ll work out which model fits your situation best.

  • Bronze: reactive support with a response time within 4 business hours for standard issues.
  • Silver: proactive monitoring plus planned update management twice a year.
  • Gold: dedicated account management, release analysis, and quarterly business reviews.
  • Platinum: full application management with priority response and a named consultant who knows your environment.

You have a partner who thinks alongside you

Good support is built on a real relationship. Our account manager checks in regularly, not to sell you something, but to understand what’s actually going on. What’s changing in the business? What’s causing friction? We also review usage reports with you so your contract stays right-sized. You shouldn’t be paying for more than you need.

Your concrete deliverables

  • Daily monitoring and management of your environment.
  • Process and fit-gap analyses for new releases.
  • Timely and thoroughly tested technical upgrades.
  • Hyper Care after go-live for immediate support.
