Change is an area that many organisations find challenging. Our Transformation & Change Management team supports our customers throughout the whole lifecycle of their business transformation helping to reduce operational and functional risks and a resistance to change. The team will help design and communicate a transformation roadmap focusing on the benefits of changing your business management system. With our tailored approach we help ensure that all of your people and key stakeholders are aligned and ready to adopt the new IFS solution.

Assessing and improving business processes is crucial for successful transformation. At Arcwide, we specialise in evaluating current business processes and designing future operating models to ensure a smooth transition and maximised benefits. Our service helps organizations frame their future processes before embarking on the IFS core model design phase. This is particularly valuable for customers with complex, heterogeneous processes and IT landscapes, or those involved in frequent mergers and acquisitions.

By combining our BearingPoint consulting experience with our functional and technical IFS expertise, we are able to deliver turnkey IFS Cloud projects worldwide with a flexible model tailored to our customers' needs.

Upgrade your IFS application to the latest IFS Cloud software to unlock enhanced performance and innovation. Benefit from a single compatible platform that gives you access to the latest technologies and innovations, powered by AI. Eliminate legacy modifications and leverage configurable features like custom objects and lobbies. Take advantage of built-in IoT and Power BI capabilities that increase productivity and provide a better experience for your users. Upgrade to IFS Cloud to reduce risk, maximise the value of your IFS investment, and reduce costs.

Our flexible Application Management Services (AMS) agreements allow you to choose the elements that best fit your unique business needs.​

A technical upgrade entails migrating from one IFS version to another by applying IFS upgrade scripts to transform your database. This process ensures a seamless transition to the latest version while preserving your existing data and configurations, with adjustments made for any mandatory changes. A technical upgrade can be carried out in two ways. 'As-Is' Solution Upgrade – This option mirrors your existing business processes while implementing the mandatory changes needed for IFS Cloud. Solution Enhancement Upgrade – This option replicates your current business processes while incorporating the mandatory changes required for IFS Cloud. It also allows for some solution enhancements where existing processes are aligned with evolving business needs, though no major data changes are necessary.

A re-implementation is driven by data. It provides an opportunity to cleanse and update outdated information, such as purchase orders, customer orders, legacy supplier data, and more. This approach allows your business to fully capitalise on IFS Cloud's industry-leading best practices by redesigning your business processes from the ground up. It also offers the chance to leverage the latest IFS Cloud features, driven by AI, while utilising automation and streamlined workflows to ensure your solution is optimised for the demands of modern business.
