When you use Curit Managed Cloud like AffaldVarme Aarhus, keeping your IFS updated to the latest version does not have to be a big job. AffaldVarme Aarhus has just - in collaboration with Curit - upgraded from IFS Applications 10 Update 9 to Update 13. The successful upgrade took place less than 12 months after they first went live on IFS Applications in January 2021. The main reason why the upgrade went completely as planned is that there are very few adjustments to IFS Core functionality at AffaldVarme Aarhus, which minimises the upgrade work significantly.
”Staying up-to-date gives your organisation access to the latest functionality and bug fixes. But most importantly, you get to reset your IT debt, which otherwise slowly builds up as your IT systems slowly become obsolete. With timely action and a modern ERP system like IFS Applications, upgrades don't have to be a big deal anymore,” says Project Manager Peter Bering.
The upgrade was first performed on a test environment, after which AffaldVarme Aarhus carried out internal quality tests. The test process was carried out in peace and quiet over a few weeks, and the actual upgrade of the production environment was then carried out with minimal impact on operations.
Curit Managed Cloud Solution is a product that allows Curit customers to stay up-to-date with the latest from IFS with an annual update that ensures that the latest developed functionalities can be deployed shortly after launch.
AffaldVarme Aarhus supplies district heating to 350,000 people in East Jutland and recycles waste for 166,000 households in Aarhus Municipality. The group is owned by Aarhus Municipality and has approximately 450 employees.
