IFS Support — FAQ
What does IFS support cover?
Day-to-day IFS operations across manufacturing and service: issue triage and resolution, configuration and functional help, reports and integrations, performance and stabilization, user questions, and proactive maintenance. As an IFS Gold Partner, ESS supports standard IFS plus the customizations, personalizations and integrations we (or others) have delivered.
Do you help manage IFS Cloud updates?
Yes. IFS Cloud updates on an evergreen cadence, so we plan for each release: reviewing impact, revalidating customizations and integrations on supported extension points, regression-testing critical processes, and helping you adopt new capabilities — so updates are routine, not disruptive.
Which IFS versions do you support?
IFS Cloud and IFS 10 are the focus, with support for IFS 9 and legacy maintenance on IFS 8. If you're planning to move up a version, our IFS upgrade service handles the Apps 10 → Cloud path.
What are your support SLAs?
We work to severity-based SLAs — response and resolution targets that scale with business impact (P1 Critical through P4 Low). The targets shown on this page are representative; your actual SLA is tailored to your agreement and coverage tier.
Do you offer 24×7 IFS support?
Standard coverage is 8×5 business hours, with 24×7 available for critical, production-down issues. Our onshore team plus our India office provide follow-the-sun coverage across time zones — valuable for asset- and service-intensive operations that run beyond business hours.
Can you take over support for an existing IFS environment?
Yes. ESS regularly takes over IFS environments implemented by others — assessing current state, documenting configuration, customizations and integrations, stabilizing problem areas, and then running ongoing support and optimization.
