Common Questions About Upgrading to IFS Cloud 

  • What versions of IFS can be upgraded to Cloud? 
    IFS Applications 8, 9, and 10 all have upgrade paths to IFS Cloud. Applications 10 typically allows for a more direct transition. 
  • How long does an upgrade typically take? 
    Timelines depend on the scope of your upgrade. Technical upgrades can move faster, as they preserve much of your existing configuration. Reimplementations take longer but offer the opportunity to streamline processes, eliminate technical debt, and align with IFS best practices. We tailor the pace based on your business needs and readiness. 
  • Will we need to retrain all users? 
    Not necessarily. We focus on role-based, targeted training. For areas undergoing change, we offer hands-on workshops, coaching, and train-the-trainer programs to build internal capability and reduce disruption. 
  • Can we keep our customizations? 
    Many existing customizations can be retained or modernized using standard IFS capabilities or low-code solutions. We assess each one to determine whether it still serves your goals or can be improved upon. 
  • Will there be downtime? 
    Minimal, if any. We leverage proven upgrade methodologies—including test environments, phased cutovers, and staging practices—to ensure business continuity throughout the process.
