Seamless Data Migration for IFS ERP Success
Data migration isn’t just a technical task—it’s one of the most critical components of a successful ERP implementation. At Cuneiform, we help manufacturers and industrial companies migrate to IFS Cloud with precision, confidence, and continuity. Whether you’re upgrading from IFS Apps 8/9/10, AS/400 Mapics, or consolidating disparate legacy systems, we ensure your data is structured, trustworthy, and ready to drive operational success from day one.
Why Data Migration Is Business-Critical
ERP failure is rarely a system issue—it’s often a data issue. Poor-quality or misaligned data creates friction across planning, production, procurement, finance, and compliance.
Cuneiform’s migration approach ensures:
Operational continuity from the first day on IFS Cloud
Clean master and transactional data to support reliability, accuracy, and trust
Regulatory traceability across inventory, quality, and asset history
Data alignment with real-world workflows—not just system fields
Cuneiform’s Proven Data Migration Framework
1. Discovery Workshops
We engage functional leaders to understand how your business needs to report and operate—and use that insight to define how data should be structured within IFS. This ensures your basic data isn’t just “moved,” but designed with business usability in mind.
2. Profiling & Cleansing
Using automated tools and data expertise, we assess and cleanse master and transactional data—removing duplicates, resolving inconsistencies, and mapping legacy structures to IFS taxonomy.
3. Mapping & Transformation
We create detailed source-to-target mappings that ensure data integrity and preserve business logic across core areas: items, routings, BOMs, vendors, customers, assets, inventory, general ledger, and more.
4. Validation & Simulation
Multiple test cycles in pre-production environments simulate go-live scenarios, enabling stakeholders to validate data through real business processes.
5. Cutover & Reconciliation
A tightly choreographed cutover plan ensures data is loaded accurately and reconciled to legacy systems—with balance checks, document traceability, and audit logs.
6. Post-Migration Stabilization
After go-live, we remain hands-on to help manage exceptions, correct edge cases, and fine-tune performance based on how data behaves in production.
Designed for Long-Term Analytics Success
We design your ERP data structures with reporting and business intelligence in mind—not just to “make the system work.”
This avoids the need to mine, remodel, or reengineer data after go-live just to get meaningful reports.
Built for Manufacturing and Complex Supply Chains
Our methods are tailored for regulated, high-complexity environments where data must support:
- Serialized inventory and traceability
- Multi-site planning and intercompany flows
- Quality management and audit readiness (FDA, ITAR, AS9100, etc.)
- Maintenance history and asset lifecycle tracking
- Accurate material and production costing
- Real-time MRP and capacity planning
We’ve migrated clients from IFS Apps 8/9/10, AS/400 Mapics, SAP, Epicor, and homegrown systems—consolidating decades of data into modern, usable structures.
