IFS Cloud implementations fail. Here’s why (and how to fix it).

IFS Cloud implementations fail. Here’s why (and how to fix it).

This post covers the 3 biggest risks, how to pick the right consultant, and what to demand before signing a contract.

Most companies blame the software. The real problem? Bad advice.

The 3 risks killing your IFS Cloud project:

1. Data migration disasters, Dirty data, no rollback plan, and legacy system chaos cost $10K+ per day in downtime. Fix it with a pre-migration audit and zero-downtime cutover.

2. User adoption flops. Generic training wastes time. Role-based workflows and tailored simulations cut training time by 40%.

3. Post-go-live ghosting. Half of the issues arise after launch. Demand 90-day hypercare support or pay the price.

How to choose a consultant who won’t screw you over:

• Industry experience is mandatory. IFS in aerospace ≠ IFS in field service. Ask for case studies.
• Technical depth > certifications. They must know IFS Cloud, integrations, and agile project management.
• Contract model matters. Fixed-price hides gaps. Hybrid (fixed + T&M) works best.

The right partner delivers: ✔ Faster ROI ✔ No hand-off risks ✔ Global expertise

Next step: Red flags. 30 minutes could save you millions.
