How IFS Cloud Training Works | The CloudReady Method

Our proven 3-phase approach to IFS Cloud training: Readiness, Capability, and Mastery. Learn how we ensure user adoption before, during, and after your implementation.

Effective IFS training isn’t a single event – it’s a journey that spans your entire implementation. Our methodology ensures users are prepared, capable, and confident at every stage.

Phase 1: READINESS (Before Implementation)

Goal: Prepare your organisation for change before the technical work begins.

  • User Familiarisation
    We introduce ERP concepts and benefits early, easing the transition and reducing resistance. Users understand the “why” before they see the “what”.
  • Skill Gap Identification
    We identify capability gaps across your user population and plan role-based training that addresses real needs, not assumed ones.
  • Early Engagement
    We engage key users and stakeholders early to build confidence and encourage adoption. Champions are created before go-live, not after.
  • Foundational Training
    We focus on system navigation, terminology, and the purpose behind processes. Users arrive at detailed training with context already in place.

Outcome: An organisation that’s psychologically ready for change, with training plans aligned to actual needs.

Phase 2: CAPABILITY (During Implementation)

Goal: Build the skills and confidence users need to succeed at go-live.

  • Hands-On Training
    Users learn by doing, not watching. Every training session includes practical exercises in your actual IFS environment.
  • Role-Specific Exercises
    Training is tailored to how each role will actually use the system. Finance users learn finance workflows. Operations users learn operations workflows. No one wastes time on irrelevant content.
  • Interactive Learning
    Simulations, walkthroughs, and real-world scenarios enhance retention and prepare users for actual situations they’ll encounter.
  • Continuous Feedback
    We gather feedback throughout training to address concerns, adjust pace, and ensure no one gets left behind.

Outcome: Users who are genuinely capable and confident when go-live arrives – not just trained on paper.

Phase 3: MASTERY (After Implementation)

Goal: Ensure adoption sticks and users continue to improve.

  • Ongoing Training
    Refresher sessions and advanced topics deepen user skills and address challenges that only emerge in real-world use.
  • Adoption Monitoring
    We track system usage to identify gaps and address challenges promptly – before workarounds become habits.
  • Feedback & Support
    Floor-walking, help desk support, and feedback channels maintain engagement and resolve issues quickly.
  • Continuous Improvement
    We foster a culture of learning where users continue to discover better ways to use the system and improve their processes.

Outcome: Sustained adoption that delivers ongoing business value”not a system that users tolerate but never embrace.

Why This Approach Works

Training spans before, during, and after implementation because adoption isn’t a moment – it’s a process. Our three-phase methodology ensures:
  • Users are psychologically ready for change
  • Skills are built through practice, not just presentation
  • Adoption is monitored and reinforced after go-live
  • Investment in training translates to measurable business value
