WIA Target Scenarios

Based on our analysis of WIA's service portfolio, we have identified key scenarios where the provider is a good fit for organizations seeking ERP consulting, implementation support, and long-term value from their ERP investment:

First-Time IFS Cloud Or Epicor Kinetic Adopters

Organizations moving to IFS Cloud or Epicor Kinetic for the first time often lack the internal experience to manage a full ERP rollout on their own. WIA assigns consultants with combined domain expertise and product knowledge to oversee each implementation phase, from project planning through go-live. The team also helps configure the solution and coordinate deployment activities to reduce implementation risks. This approach supports a smoother transition while minimizing disruptions to day-to-day operations.

Manufacturers Connecting ERP With Legacy Middleware

Manufacturing and industrial businesses frequently rely on legacy production, finance, or warehouse systems that cannot exchange data with a modern ERP platform. To bridge these environments, WIA develops integrations using JBOSS, BizTalk, Web Services, and IFS BIZ APIs based on existing infrastructure requirements. This enables data to move between connected applications while preserving historical information during migration. As a result, organizations can modernize their ERP environment without replacing every legacy system.

Enterprises Upgrading From Legacy IFS Versions

Organizations operating older IFS releases may need to upgrade to current cloud versions to maintain support eligibility and access to newer capabilities. WIA plans the upgrade process, manages data migration, and applies configuration changes required for the new environment. Careful coordination helps retain historical records while reducing disruption to established business processes. This makes the transition more manageable for companies modernizing long-running ERP deployments.

Businesses With Limited In-House ERP Support Capacity

Businesses that have completed an ERP implementation may not have enough internal resources to provide ongoing system administration and technical support. WIA offers Application Management Services that include 24×7 monitoring, issue resolution, and routine system maintenance. These managed services help keep ERP environments stable while addressing operational issues as they arise. Internal IT teams can therefore focus on broader business priorities instead of day-to-day ERP support.

WIA Services

Consulting And Implementation

Guides customers through every phase of an ERP project, from initial planning through go-live, using proven implementation methodologies. WIA's consultants bring combined domain and product expertise to each engagement, helping organizations complete full-spectrum IFS or Epicor implementations while aligning the solution with business requirements.

Application Configurations And Customizations

Helps businesses filter configuration options to match specific operational requirements, increasing productivity while helping organizations save time. The consulting team also extends existing systems through custom-built functionality and web or mobile applications, addressing business needs that fall outside standard software capabilities without replacing the core ERP platform.

Systems Integration Services

Connects ERP systems with other business-critical platforms using middleware technologies such as JBOSS, BizTalk, Web Services, and IFS BIZ APIs. Data migration support keeps information intact throughout each project, and existing integrated environments can be refined further. This system helps organizations gain more value from software already in place.

Training Programs

Delivers tailored onsite and classroom training alongside video-based courses covering IFS Applications and Oracle Database Administration. Programs are designed around work streams such as manufacturing, supply chain, and financials, helping employees build practical ERP knowledge. Organizations can choose either a fully managed training solution or support for internal skill development.

Technical Support

Provides around-the-clock coverage for system administration, monitoring, maintenance, and end-to-end issue resolution across IFS environments. Support packages are built around each customer's specific requirements rather than a fixed structure. This gives organizations flexible and cost-conscious options for keeping ERP systems stable after go-live and throughout ongoing operation.
