DNASTREAM on a partner panel at the IFS PSO Day The 2026 IFS PSO Day at Stamford Bridge brought together more than 25 businesses and over 80 attendees from across the Professional Services and Field Service community, and DNASTREAM was proud to be part of the conversation. On the Panel: What Good Implementations Actually Look Like Jacques Beaupierre, Head of ERP Solutions at DNASTREAM, joined a partner panel alongside Arcwide and PwC to discuss a question every organisation c

UK organisations using cloud services carry a clear legal obligation: they must demonstrate compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, not simply assert it. The shift to cloud infrastructure does not transfer that responsibility to a provider. Instead, it distributes it across a chain of controllers and processors that regulators expect you to understand and manage. Where data travels, where it is stored, and which legal jurisdictions are involved will directl

In the final part of our IFS Hosting series, we turn our attention to the foundations of long-term resilience: keeping your environments aligned, upgrading with confidence, and ensuring true high availability across your entire IFS ecosystem. Multiple environments, including DEV, TEST, PROD, and beyond, are essential for safe change management and rigorous testing. But what happens when these environments begin to drift apart? Reliable upgrades and genuine high availability a

Last week, the DNASTREAM team attended the annual IFS User Group conference ENIGMA 2026, held at the DoubleTree by Hilton at Stadium MK in Milton Keynes. It’s hosted as a yearly opportunity to connect with customers, partners, and with the IFS team, and we came away with plenty of insights to share. Highlights of the Experience ENIGMA is this year’s IFS User Group event, and it lived up to its reputation. With over 50 presentations and workshops on offer, there was no shorta

Last week, the DNASTREAM team had the pleasure of attending the IBM Maximo User Group event in Dundee, and we're still reflecting on what made it such a valuable gathering. Held on Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th May in Dundee, the City of Discovery, (Captain Scott’s Ship is moored there) this two-day event was packed with innovation, learning, and numerous networking opportunities. Having attended user group events in partnership with various vendors over the years, this one

Yesterday, the DNASTREAM team put the pedal to the metal at IFS Connect, held at the legendary Silverstone Circuit. As both sponsors and attendees, we were in pole position to witness the latest innovations, industry trends, and high-octane networking across the IFS community. AI in the Fast Lane Much like the pursuit of faster lap times, organisations are racing to leverage Artificial Intelligence for strategic advantage, looking to drive real gains across IFS projects. Thro

IFS is a highly capable platform, and organisations that run it well achieve significant returns from their investment. However, the difference between an IFS environment that quietly supports the business and one that generates ongoing friction typically isn't the software. It's the operational discipline wrapped around it. In this first part of our series, we examine what that discipline encompasses and why treating IFS hosting as a genuine specialism delivers tangible b

We’ve just wrapped up our time exhibiting alongside IFS at DPRTE 2026, and I think it’s safe to say we’re still buzzing from all the conversations, connections, and insights we picked up. If you were there, you know - there’s something special about getting so many people under one roof, all with a shared focus on the future of defence, aerospace, and manufacturing. Meeting Advisory Companies - Finding Common Ground One of the best parts? Meeting with loads of advisory com

In today’s fast-moving digital landscape, the systems you rely on to run, connect, and grow your business are more than just tools - they’re critical to success. At DNASTREAM, we know firsthand the pivotal opportunities and tangible benefits that switching to IFS can deliver for organisations looking to stay ahead, particularly in the era of Artificial Intelligence. If you’re still considering making the leap, here’s why now is the time - and why waiting could result in oppor

Insights from the IFS x DNASTREAM Webinar The recent IFS x DNASTREAM webinar pulled back the curtain on the rapid transformation underway in the Aerospace and Defence sector. Titled “Factory to Foxhole: Commanding Change in Defence Manufacturing for 2026,” the session highlighted one core truth: traditional approaches can no longer keep pace with today’s unprecedented challenges. The New Reality: Complexity, Speed, and Cyber Threats The Strategic Defence Review has fundamen

Defence supply chains face growing challenges from natural disasters, rising costs, and global component shortages. Geopolitical tensions, cyber threats, and risks like counterfeit parts further amplify the pressure, threatening operational readiness and national security. With so much at stake, building resilient supply chains has become a mission-critical priority for defence organisations worldwide. Building Resilient Supply Chains Through A Technological Approach To count

Earlier this month, the DNASTREAM team had the privilege to participate as a sponsor at IFS SaKo 2026 in Dallas, Texas - a gathering that united IFS, partners, and customers from across the globe. The event, aptly themed “New Frontier,” combined strategic vision, practical enablement, and truly valuable conversations. As we look ahead to an exciting year with IFS, we’re energised by where the platform - and the partner community - are headed. A Launchpad for the Year Ahead IF

For organisations running IFS, it’s the system of record for everything from Finance and Supply Chain to Asset Management and Service. When IFS runs smoothly, teams move faster and leaders make better decisions. When it doesn’t, productivity stalls, costs rise, and risks accumulate. Pro Support is designed for organisations that rely on mission-critical processes on IFS and need to minimise disruption while maintaining operational continuity. It is ideal for businesses with

The question is no longer “Should we care about data sovereignty?” but “How do we guarantee it?” Data is the lifeblood of modern business, and its security is now a matter of national interest. For UK organisations, as geopolitical tensions rise and cyber threats escalate, secure, sovereign hosting has become a strategic imperative for IT leaders. The Challenges Driving Sovereign Hosting Jurisdictional Reach Governments around the world are increasingly adopting laws to pro

Introduction Cyberattacks are no longer a distant threat. They’re here and they’re evolving faster than ever. For companies in the Aerospace and Defense (A&D) sector, the implications are profound. These organisations hold sensitive intellectual property, operate critical infrastructure, and form part of national security supply chains. A single breach can disrupt operations, compromise classified data, and damage reputations beyond repair. The Escalating Cyber Threat Landsca
