The Silent Cost of a "Working" System

Every Friday at 4 PM, your planning team starts the weekly ritual. Someone lost a file. It's a data scavenger hunt. The sales forecast is in a shared drive. Capacity numbers are in the plant manager's spreadsheet. Raw material lead times are in the buyer's email.

For two hours, they manually cross-reference, argue over versions, and finally produce a production plan they all know is 80% right, at best. You ship late. You expedite freight. You burn margin. This is the invisible tax of a disconnected, end-of-life system.

Your IFS Apps 10 is “working.”
But your business isn’t winning.

How many of these invisible costs are you paying?

  • Manual reconciliations
  • Missed consolidation opportunities
  • Spreadsheet-based planning
  • Delayed financial closes
  • Constant anxiety that critical integrations will break without vendor support

Technical Debt Has a Due Date. Yours Was 2025.

You Are Now Your Own Vendor

You are isolated. Your team patches security gaps and builds workarounds. Every hour maintaining the system is an hour not winning customers. If only there was a way to get connected.

Your Data Is Trapped

Apps 10 wasn’t built for real-time operations. Engineering changes don’t flow to the shop floor. Forecasts don’t align with capacity. Information stays stuck.

Your CRIMs Are a Ticking Clock

Custom Reports, Integrations, and Modifications, all locked in an unsupported environment. The cost to address them later only increases.

Strategic Guidance for an Upgrade To IFS Cloud

IFS delivers the technical lift to IFS Cloud. We ensure you're ready—with rationalized customizations, clean data, and a strategy that captures value from day one.

CRIM Rationalization & Conflict Assessment

We audit your Custom Reports, Integrations, and Modifications. Identify what to bring forward, what to retire, what conflicts with IFS Cloud’s native capabilities. Stop paying for complexity you don’t need.

Data Strategy & Validation Templates

We provide validation frameworks and cleansing guidance. Your data arrives in IFS Cloud accurate and complete. Clean data in, clear decisions out.

Business Process Alignment

We map current operations to IFS Cloud capabilities. Standard functionality replaces custom workarounds. Configuration unlocks new value.

Go-Live Readiness & Hypercare

User acceptance testing. Lobby and permission refinement. 30 days of intensive post-go-live support.

Enterprise Assurance Program (EAP)

Continued support from consultants who know your business—after Hypercare ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an IFS Apps 10 upgrade and a migration?
An upgrade moves your existing IFS Applications 10 environment to IFS Cloud—preserving your data, configurations, and business logic while modernizing the platform. IFS delivers the technical lift. Pragmatek and OSI provide strategic guidance: CRIM rationalization, data validation, and business process alignment to ensure you capture value from day one. A migration typically refers to moving from one ERP platform to another entirely.
What happens to my custom reports, integrations, and modifications (CRIMs) when I upgrade to IFS Cloud?
Your CRIMs require careful evaluation before upgrading. Some can be brought forward. Others should be retired—replaced by native IFS Cloud functionality. Some may conflict with cloud architecture entirely. Pragmatek and OSI audit your CRIMs, identify conflicts, and build a rationalization plan that eliminates unnecessary complexity and ensures a clean transition.
What is the typical ROI for upgrading from IFS Applications 10 to IFS Cloud?
According to the 2025 IDC Business Value White Paper, organizations upgrading to IFS Cloud realize an average 414% ROI with an 11-month payback period.
