AMEL Consulting conducted an extensive research on customers intentions for upgrading their IFS software.
Fifty five (55) customers from across regions and industries completed the survey. This has provided us with indicative view on upgrade intentions and reasons.

3. Upgrade to APPS 8 or APPS 9 ?
27% of the respondents are considering upgrading to APPS 8, with 55% choosing to wait for the release of APPS 9 before upgrading.

62% of companies responded with leverage new functionality/enhancements as the main reason for upgrading. This was followed closely with 42% of respondents choosing improved software performance and reliability.
