IFS Release Management

Upgrading IFS is a significant investment — one that delivers real value when approached with a clear plan. We work with you to assess your current version, understand what's new in the target release, and build a roadmap that fits your business timeline.

Our planning process covers functional impact, infrastructure readiness, and customisation compatibility so there are no surprises on go-live day.

A successful upgrade is built on thorough preparation. We establish a dedicated test environment that mirrors your production system and run structured regression, integration, and user acceptance testing against every critical business process.

Issues found in test cost far less to fix than issues found in production. Our structured approach ensures you go live with confidence.

A well-executed deployment minimises downtime and risk. We build detailed run-books covering every step of your upgrade — from pre-upgrade snapshots to post-go-live validation checks.

Every deployment plan includes a tested rollback procedure. If something unexpected happens, you'll have a clear, practised path back to safety.

New IFS versions often introduce workflow changes, UI updates, and revised processes. Without proper change management, even the best technical upgrade can fail to deliver value if your users aren't brought along for the journey.

We help you communicate changes effectively, gather feedback early, and ensure stakeholder buy-in at every level of the organisation.

Every upgrade carries risk — from deprecated customisations to changed APIs and shifted business logic. We conduct a thorough risk assessment before any upgrade begins, identifying and prioritising issues that could derail your project.

Risks are documented, assigned owners, and tracked through to resolution so nothing slips through the cracks.

New IFS releases introduce updated security models, permission changes, and sometimes entirely new authentication flows. We review your security configuration against the new version to ensure nothing is inadvertently opened up or broken during the upgrade.

Compliance-sensitive environments receive additional attention to audit trails, access controls, and regulatory requirements.

Your team needs to hit the ground running on the new version. We deliver targeted training sessions tailored to each user group — from end users navigating a refreshed UI to administrators managing new configuration options.

Clear, concise documentation means your team has a reference they can trust long after the project team has moved on.
