OUR OFFERING

Tailored IFS Cloud ERP change and training programmes

To maximise your ERP investment, our bespoke IFS Cloud ERP training programmes deliver measurable results through tailored, role-specific learning. Implementing or upgrading an ERP system like IFS Cloud significantly impacts an organisation, and user adoption is crucial to achieving full return on investment.

Optimum provides expert end user training for IFS Cloud implementations and upgrades. We understand both how IFS Cloud ERP works and how to train staff to use it confidently in day-to-day operations. Our training consultants develop customised, client-branded, and collaborative learning solutions across IFS Cloud workstreams, including finance, procurement, supply chain management, manufacturing, CRM, commerce, HCM, Projects and more.

Using a mixture of tools and methods, our ERP training consultants help ensure your workforce adopts the new software and the changing business processes that come with it. We can provide a fully managed training solution or fill skills gaps within your internal team – with flexibility to scale up, down or offboard as your project evolves.

“I felt a sense of reassurance that whatever the state of play, it was always going to be achievable in terms of delivering end user training. I’d recommend Optimum as a training provider.”

STRUCTURED TRAINING

Why organisations benefit from investing in structured IFS Cloud ERP training

An IFS Cloud implementation only delivers value when people know how to use it confidently in real operational scenarios. Investing in expert IFS Cloud ERP training helps teams adopt new processes quickly and reduces risk across go-live and beyond.

Key business benefits include:

Faster user adoption and fewer workarounds
Role-based IFS Cloud training helps staff embrace new ways of working without reverting to spreadsheets or manual processes.

Maximised ROI from IFS Cloud
Users learn the business processes that matter, helping you realise the value of your investment faster.

Improved data quality and reporting
Confident users enter cleaner data, supporting better decision-making and more reliable reporting.

Higher productivity after go-live
Practical, scenario-led training reduces the post go-live productivity dip and lowers support tickets.

More consistent compliance and controls
Users follow the right steps in the right order, supporting stronger governance.

Reduced change risk during upgrades and deployments
Structured training makes it easier for teams to adapt to new functionality with minimal disruption.

More confident use of a powerful global solution
It’s a sophisticated platform that requires specialist expertise; our structured training helps staff build the skills they need to use the system effectively.

IFS CLOUD TRAINING EXCELLENCE

Comprehensive IFS Cloud ERP training that supports user adoption

Our goal is to help teams use IFS Cloud confidently in daily operations. Our IFS Cloud ERP training programmes deliver measurable results through tailored, role-specific learning experiences. We combine system understanding with practical business knowledge to help users master the platform efficiently.

Typical programme elements include:

  • Role-based learning paths aligned to your business processes.
  • Hands-on workshops using realistic scenarios (often in a training/sandbox environment).
  • Reference guides, quick cards and process walkthroughs.
  • Digital resources (bite-sized modules, tutorial videos, knowledge checks).
  • Support for communications, subject matter experts (SMEs) and user readiness where needed.

We recommend the right mix based on audience size, available time and the complexity of the change.

“Training is a common obstacle for most ERP implementations. Organisations are often tempted by the apparent simplicity of leveraging boilerplate training materials supplied by vendors, but these won’t get you where you need to be.”

Eric Kimberling, ERP Expert

Ideally, training planning should begin early in the project, once your process design is clear and your build direction is set, so it can align with configuration, testing cycles and deployment waves.

Starting early allows time to confirm audiences and roles, develop tailored materials from your IFS Cloud setup, and schedule delivery close enough to go-live that learning is retained, but not so late that readiness becomes a risk.
