Turning challenges into opportunities
If you’re running a legacy or end-of-life system, the reality is stark: you’re at risk of stalling your business, facing rising costs, losing your competitive edge and missing out on revenue.
Baker Tilly’s digital transformation offering can take your current ERP software and upgrade you to IFS’ latest release: IFS Cloud. Fundamentally changing the way your business operates to better serve your customers, employees and enable further growth.
Older systems or versions of software don’t offer the scalability needed for current businesses. Cloud offerings ensure you can move and scale your ERP requirements as needed, based on the new features or functionality your business requires. If you rely on your technology to help innovate and modernise your business processes, your ERP solution needs the functionality to be able to grow, update and keep up with changing industry requirements, regulation and legal revisions and the ever-changing way customers use businesses.
FAQs regarding IFS Cloud:
IFS Cloud is the latest enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, which was launched in March 2021 by IFS. Leveraging AI capabilities, the platform also provides functionality that evolves with changing needs. Additionally, IFS Cloud is designed to be industry-specific, providing functionalities that meet the needs of different sectors. Baker Tilly believes in an ‘industry-first’ approach allowing us to work with customers to deliver maximum value with IFS solutions.
One of the few reasons IFS Cloud is emerging as an essential solution for businesses is because it fuels growth and innovation with built-in intelligence and automation. The Cloud upgrade results in reducing costs by minimizing customizations.
Upgrading to IFS Cloud with Baker Tilly includes planning, analyzing and designing, building and testing, implementing and providing support. Baker Tilly has more than a decade of experience implementing and optimizing solutions for clients from different industries.
You can upgrade to IFS Cloud if you are currently using any legacy IFS applications. Users of APPS 8, APPS 9 or APPS 10 have the option to upgrade the version straight to the cloud. The upgrade process will be in two phases if you are running any version older than APPS 8, which could lead to a longer iteration. IFS Cloud presents a feasible choice for businesses seeking solution upgrade with cutting-edge functionality.
As an IFS reseller and system integrator, Baker Tilly customizes each IFS Cloud implementation based on the client, their industry and their transformation goals.
IFS Cloud has been described as flexible while providing innovative functionalities. One of the many capabilities includes collecting data required to demonstrate business’ compliance. Additionally, if used for HCM and Talent Management solutions, IFS Cloud delivers flexibility of using either basic or advanced functionality for recruitment, onboarding and development of employees.
Baker Tilly’s IFS professionals focus on the business processes and needs rather than a simple functional installation. Our IFS Cloud implementation methodology can improve your operations and create lasting value for your organization.
Upgrading to IFS Cloud requires extensive planning and iterations based on the complexity of the IFS version you already use. Depending on the extent of upgrade, factors such as deprecated, removed or changed functionality influence the implementation timeline. Mostly, a thought-out Cloud upgrade can take several months from the initial assessment to the final implementation.
When upgrading to IFS Cloud, not only the technical considerations should be addressed but also the functional ones. Baker Tilly’s IFS solutions help businesses to upgrade to IFS Cloud seamlessly with minimal operational disruptions.
