Crystal reports on IFS Cloud

Consult with our experts

Keep reporting running. Keep moving forward.

The challenge

Crystal reports will only be retained in IFS Cloud through 26R2. After that, they will no longer run natively within the platform.

For many organisations, this creates a familiar challenge. Reporting is business-critical, yet migrating hundreds of reports takes time, planning, and resource.

The risk is not just technical. It is operational.

Delays in reporting decisions can slow down upgrades, limit access to new capabilities, and hold back progress.

  • Access new capabilities as they are released.
  • Plan your reporting transformation on your own terms.

It gives your organisation the freedom to move forward, rather than being held back.
