Turning challenges into opportunities
If you’re running a legacy or end-of-life system, the reality is stark: you’re at risk of stalling your business, facing rising costs, losing your competitive edge and missing out on revenue.
Baker Tilly’s digital transformation offering can take your current ERP software and upgrade you to IFS’ latest release: IFS Cloud. Fundamentally changing the way your business operates to better serve your customers, employees and enable further growth.
Older systems or versions of software don’t offer the scalability needed for current businesses. Cloud offerings ensure you can move and scale your ERP requirements as needed, based on the new features or functionality your business requires. If you rely on your technology to help innovate and modernise your business processes, your ERP solution needs the functionality to be able to grow, update and keep up with changing industry requirements, regulation and legal revisions and the ever-changing way customers use businesses.
