2 SUPPORT RAPID INNOVATION DELIVER BUSINESS CHANGE RUN IFS ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE, YOUR WAY, WITH IFS CLOUD SOLUTIONS Business visibility. Market agility. The ability to seize and grow new opportunities. In today s world, these are now essential, not merely desirable, enterprise commercial traits. It s no wonder that, more and more, organizations are embracing the benefits of moving business-critical IT assets to the cloud. According to Gartner¹, by 2025, at least 50% of large enterprises will successfully implement a "flip" SaaS strategy running their core ERP in the cloud. Every business has different priorities. For some, standardized cloud software, accessed as a subscriptionbased service, will be the answer. For others, critical operations will point to a fully managed, perpetuallylicensed approach. Others still will need a customized solution - or the ability to simply keep certain software running on premise instead. Wherever you sit, IFS cloud solutions for IFS Applications, IFS Field Service Management and IFS Enterprise Operational Intelligence lets you choose: where to deploy our software in the cloud or on premise who monitors, maintains and updates it your team or IFS how you pay for and use it perpetual license or subscription IFS CLOUD SERVICE MODELS AT-A-GLANCE SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE (SaaS) Run IFS software in the cloud, completely managed by us. Pay as a subscription that can scale up and down as needed to accommodate business change. The SaaS service model is adapted to suit typical use of each of the IFS products. IFS MANAGED CLOUD Run purchased, perpetually-licensed, single-tenant IFS software in the cloud with increased flexibility and greater control over the software life cycle, completely managed by us. Pay for the license and the IFS Managed Cloud service separately. "With both SaaS and managed cloud service models for our products customers can benefit from our cloud solutions regardless of whether they choose an OPEX only model or prefer to own a product license for the long term."

3 ENHANCE SERVICE LEVELS REDUCE OPERATIONAL RISK CLOUD SOFTWARE LETS BUSINESS GET AHEAD In a digital-driven world, new opportunities don t wait. That s why successful enterprises are migrating core IT applications to the cloud. ENTERPRISE TO CLOUD: FIVE KEY DRIVERS 1. BLISTERING PACE OF CHANGE The Internet of Things and digital transformation are fueling innovation at an unprecedented rate. A cloud solution means no infrastructure to manage: provision new operations, upscale, add more functionality or downscale to meet evolving business needs. 2. SUCCESS WITH OTHER CLOUD-BASED IT ASSETS Many organizations have already seen the value and convenience of cloud-based services such as , collaboration and specific marketing and sales tools. Placing a wider set of enterprise applications in the cloud is the next logical step. 4. FOCUS ON INCREASED AND OPTIMIZED SECURITY Concerns over data breaches, malware threats and regulatory pressures are mandating a more secure, fully compliant IT system. Cloud software applications are typically better managed and run in the most secure data centers and so are less vulnerable. 5. REAL-TIME ACCESS TO A SINGLE CUSTOMER VIEW Enterprises delivering services need to meet demanding SLAs. The cloud readily supports field working and service operations that depend on access to a detailed, real-time view of each customer relationship. 3. COST OF IT PERSONNEL Finding, retaining and funding expert, qualified IT personnel to maintain on-premise applications is increasingly difficult. Running in the cloud frees your IT staff to focus on initiatives offering the highest value to your business. 70% 16% 70% of all enterprises now run at least one application in the cloud² 16% of organizations plan to within 12 months. Choosing to run Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and service applications in the cloud streamlines access, enhances service and dramatically reduces infrastructure complexity, cost and risk. It offers the ability to gather and share intelligence enterprise-wide and to adjust resources quickly to adapt to change. ERP solutions have moved rapidly to the cloud. Organizations of every size need more modern business applications with intuitive user experiences that can help them drive growth and agility while adapting to rapidly changing business models.
