About the Event

Across asset- and service-intensive industries, organisations are modernising at different speeds. While some choose to replace core platforms, many have already invested heavily in ERP and are not ready to disrupt that foundation. Modernisation today is less about choosing a single platform and more about improving operational outcomes.

Increasingly, organisations are looking beyond ERP to address the gaps that exist across assets, services, projects, and frontline execution. The Elevate pathway reflects organisations that want to enhance operational performance by introducing best-of-breed capabilities alongside their existing ERP, accelerating value without forcing a full replacement.

Technical reassurance for IT leaders

• Coexistence by design: IFS integrates with leading ERP platforms through open APIs and flexible architecture, enabling operational innovation without disrupting financial systems.
• Operational depth without ERP complexity: Purpose-built capabilities reduce the need for heavy customisation inside ERP, lowering technical debt and long-term risk.
• Deployment flexibility: Customers can introduce operational capabilities independently and scale over time, aligning with business priorities rather than rigid transformation timelines.
• AI applied where work happens: Industrial AI enhances execution across assets, services, and projects, driving measurable outcomes beyond transactional reporting.

What the pathway means to you

Elevate reflects the reality that many organisations have modernised their ERP foundation but still face challenges in how frontline operations perform. While ERP platforms provide financial control and transactional consistency, they are often not designed to manage complex asset lifecycles, outcome-based services, or project-centric operations at scale.

Customers aligned to the Elevate pathway typically want to:

• Enhance asset, service, or project execution without replacing their ERP
• Unlock greater value from existing investments while addressing operational gaps
• Improve workforce productivity and planning across complex environments
• Apply Industrial AI directly within frontline workflows
• Create a connected operational layer that complements, rather than competes with, ERP

How IFS supports customers on this pathway

• Advanced service management and workforce optimisation for outcome-based delivery
• Project and program capabilities that improve execution across complex portfolios
• Industrial AI embedded into operational workflows, enhancing decision-making and automation
• Unified asset lifecycle management that connects maintenance, planning, and performance

What customers typically achieve

• Improve asset reliability and reduce unplanned downtime
• Increase workforce productivity through intelligent planning and scheduling
• Enhance project delivery with greater visibility and control
• Break down silos between operations and finance without re-platforming

This guide is designed for:

• CIOs and IT leaders managing end-of-life platforms
• Operations and asset leaders constrained by legacy systems
• Executives seeking a long-term foundation for AI and growth
