Original Software has joined the IFS ISV Partner Program, making its AI-powered enterprise software testing platform available to the global ecosystem of IFS Cloud customers, partners, and system integrators. The partnership aims to help organizations modernize ERP testing as they transition from on-premise deployments to cloud-based environments.
Original Software has announced its entry into the IFS ISV Partner Program, extending its AI-powered testing platform to organizations implementing and operating IFS Cloud.
The partnership comes as many enterprises continue migrating ERP workloads to the cloud, where more frequent updates require faster and more reliable software testing processes.
According to research presented during a recent Original Software webinar, 53% of surveyed IFS customers currently operate on-premise environments but expect to move to IFS Cloud within the next 24 months, while the remaining 47% are already running cloud deployments.
The company's research also highlights the continued reliance on manual testing across ERP environments.
According to the survey, 92% of respondents still use spreadsheets, email chains, and screenshots to manage software testing, while only 8% use dedicated testing platforms. None of the surveyed organizations reported using automated testing solutions.
Original Software says this creates growing challenges as organizations adopt continuous software updates, increasing the risk of business disruption, upgrade failures, and compliance issues.
"Joining the IFS Partner Program is a natural next step for us. Cloud ERP has transformed the pace of software change, but many organizations are still relying on testing processes designed for a different era. Too often, critical testing is managed through spreadsheets, email chains and screenshots, making it difficult to keep pace with continuous updates." Carl Andrews, CEO of Original Software
Original Software's platform provides code-free, AI-driven testing capabilities designed to support user acceptance testing (UAT), regression testing, test automation, and process documentation across enterprise applications.
By enabling business users and IT teams to automate testing workflows, the company aims to reduce testing effort while improving software quality and operational efficiency during cloud migrations and ongoing platform updates.
IFS welcomed the addition of the platform to its partner ecosystem as organizations continue modernizing their ERP environments.
"Original Software's code-free, AI-led testing platform is a strong addition to the ecosystem, supporting our customers as they implement, upgrade and continuously evolve their IFS Cloud environment." Thusitha Gunaratne, Vice President, Product & Partner Strategy at IFS
As organizations increasingly adopt cloud ERP platforms, testing has become a critical component of ensuring business continuity during regular software releases.
Original Software says its platform enables teams to validate business-critical processes more efficiently while reducing the overhead associated with traditional automation approaches.
Customers moving to IFS Cloud need confidence that critical business processes will continue to work after every update. Our platform enables business and IT teams to test faster, reduce risk and embrace continuous change without the overhead of traditional automation." Carl Andrews, CEO of Original Software
The partnership positions Original Software to support the growing number of enterprises modernizing ERP operations while helping IFS Cloud customers adopt more automated, AI-driven testing practices.
