The Offer

Senior Cloud capacity. One rate.

A fractional IFS Cloud Solutions Architect at a flat CA$150 per hour. Weekly working sessions, monthly executive readout, three-month minimum.

Built for two buyers. Manufacturers whose internal IFS Cloud bench is one person deep. Implementation firms that need overflow capacity on a Cloud program without adding a contractor to payroll.

IFS Cloud 26R1. IFS Workflows and BPA. Report Designer / RDL. Connect and B2B EDI. Crystal only as a migration path to Report Designer, not as a specialty.

IFS Expert Inc. is an independent specialist. The firm is not an IFS partner and not a staffing house. Contracting, insurance, and invoicing run through the company.

Where this fits

Overflow capacity for manufacturers and SIs.

Post-go-live Cloud support

Reporting friction, workflow gaps, and the practical issues that show up after go-live — closed by a principal, not a bench.

Workflow delivery

BPA automation, custom events, and integration design against this plant. Not Agent Studio.

Upgrade readiness

A defensible view of what will break in the next IFS Cloud jump, mapped to 26R1 and the twice-yearly cadence.

Reporting architecture

IFS Report Designer / RDL, IFS Cloud Reporter, and the business definitions that make reports trustworthy. Crystal is a migration path.

Connect and overflow on SI programs

CRM, customer order, and warehouse integrations using principal-led design. Extra senior bandwidth when an SI program needs it.

Fractional Solutions Architect

Retained senior judgment for organizations whose internal IFS Cloud bench is one person deep. CA$150 per hour, three-month minimum.

Engagement Model

Fractional, or short overflow.

  • Fractional: Weekly working sessions with the internal IT/ERP lead and a monthly executive readout. Three-month minimum. CA$150 per hour.
  • Overflow capacity: Extra senior bandwidth on a manufacturer or SI Cloud program, billed at the same CA$150 per hour.

All work is principal-led, documented, and designed so internal teams can maintain what is delivered.

Independent specialist

Not a partner badge. Not a delivery pyramid.

Architecture, data integrity, and operational design stay senior work. The firm is not an IFS partner. Delivery tools do not change who owns the design.
