Upgrade Readiness Assessment

A 'Technical upgrade' is the upgrade from one IFS version to another by the transformation of your database, using IFS upgrade scripts. Your historical data and configuration is retained during this technical upgrade, although some updates to your configuration maybe required, to align with new functionality within IFS Cloud. A 'Technical upgrade' can be either a functional 'As-Is' to include mandatory changes, or an upgrade with limited solution change.

A 'Re-implementation' is driven by either of these 3 requirements, a 'restructuring of company setup & data', 'removal of obsolete data', or 'retire old processes' This route enables your business to take advantage of the IFS industry best practice processes by undergoing a complete redesign of your current business processes, embracing new functionality, as well as automation, within the IFS Cloud solution. This path is a great opportunity to cleanse your historical data, migrating across only what is necessary. Within IFS Cloud you will have the functionality of Power BI, this reporting tool will empower your end users by streamlining their reporting activities, removing any manual steps and driving automation of live data. To view historical data that was not migrated, Arcwide can help you to find alternative ways to view this data when needed.
