Assess
Infrastructure, integrations, customisations and business-critical data flows are reviewed before any migration path is defined. Scope, responsibilities, risks and success criteria are agreed upfront before commitment is made.
Forterro Cloud
Managed cloud for the industrial software your business depends on.
Keep critical Forterro systems secure, current and governed, with a managed operating model that reduces infrastructure burden and helps control operational risk.
The cost of falling behind
Industrial businesses run on software that cannot afford to fail, drift out of support or slow the operation down. As cloud, platform and AI capabilities continue to evolve, critical systems need a managed foundation that keeps them secure, resilient, governed and ready for what comes next.
Forterro Cloud reduces the burden of infrastructure management and major upgrade cycles, helping supported systems stay aligned with evolving security, platform and product standards as the business grows.
Reduce infrastructure overhead, focus on governance.
Forterro Cloud reduces the infrastructure management, patching and upgrade coordination carried by internal IT teams, so they can focus more on performance, risk, access control and business change.
Stay current, adopt new capabilities with control.
Managed updates help supported Forterro systems stay aligned with current security, platform and product releases, giving businesses a clearer path to adopt new capabilities where they are available for their product and environment.
Scale operations without scaling infrastructure risk.
New sites, users and demand can be supported without defaulting to new infrastructure projects, while governance, access and operational responsibilities remain clearly defined.
Forterro Cloud gives supported systems a managed operating foundation for staying secure, current and ready for the platform and AI capabilities Forterro is bringing into industrial operations.
Built to run your business,
not to disrupt it.
Control is not something cloud takes away - it is something cloud strengthens.
Forterro Cloud works within how your organisation already operates. Access is role-based, responsibilities stay clearly defined, and decisions remain with your team - even as systems develop and agentic AI advances. The intelligence is embedded in the software. The control stays with you.
Perspectives from our user community
“You just don’t need to think. It takes the thinking away and instead you just ‘do’.”
Dave Best, Operations Director
“The AI works extremely well, makes virtually no errors and is very easy to use. In our case, we simply drag and drop the order PDF and run the process.”
Raul Ramajo, Operations Director
“The integration of the system will allow our employees to work with coherence harmony and no longer in isolation. Everyone will have the right information, at the right time and in the right place.”
Stéphane Buffa, Director of Operations
"The arrival of AI opens up new possibilities for automation, user support and extracting value from data. I was therefore very interested to see it introduced into our ERP system."
Oussama Benabed
“Before, we wasted time searching for information. Today, we know that it exists in the system.”
Corentin Bole, Production Manager
"One of the newer features we’ve found really useful is the AI cross-sell functionality. It looks at previous orders and common products sold together, helping make sure nothing obvious gets missed when putting a quote together."
“We can access the system more easily from anywhere. That was a major point for us.”
Angela Wälder, Process & Sales Manager
“Everyone can access the information they need at any time. No drawings go missing, and when something changes, the latest version is immediately available on the shop floor.”
Josef Heisterkamp, Operations Manager
“You can’t get an ERP system up and running faster than from the cloud. The easy scaling meets our desire for growth.”
Darko Pinter, Managing Director
“By leveraging AI, existing data can be used far more flexibly and in a much more application-specific way than with traditional dashboards."
What Forterro Cloud delivers
Managed infrastructure and operations
Infrastructure management, patching, hardware refresh cycles and upgrade coordination are handled through a managed cloud operating model, helping IT teams focus on performance, governance, risk and business change.
Secure cloud foundation, built on AWS
Forterro Cloud uses Amazon Web Services as the infrastructure foundation for supported deployments, with security, availability and resilience managed through the agreed Forterro Cloud operating model.
Managed updates and controlled adoption
Security updates, platform improvements and product releases are managed through Forterro Cloud, giving customers a clearer path to adopt new capabilities where they are supported for their product and environment.
Configuration and integration continuity
Existing integrations, customisations and operational configurations are reviewed before migration, so the cloud path can be planned around what must be protected, adapted, retired or revalidated.
Technical assurance for cloud decisions
Before any migration path is agreed, Forterro Cloud discussions should clarify the operating model, data location, backup and recovery approach, monitoring, support routes, update process, access responsibilities and any product-specific availability constraints.
The aim is to make technical assumptions explicit before commitment, not after cutover.
What to expect from a
Forterro Cloud migration
For most mid-sized industrial businesses, the primary concern is not whether cloud makes sense. It is how to move without disrupting the business.
A successful migration is defined by how effectively it protects operations, not by how quickly it completes. Cutover is governed around production schedules. Financial periods are protected, customer commitments are mapped before a date is set, and integ rations, customisations, data flows and critical workflows are assessed before migration begins.
Migrate
Migration is planned around production schedules, not the implementation calendar. Agreed critical workflows are tested and signed off, with a rollback plan in place until your operations team confirms readiness.
Run
Software runs on managed cloud infrastructure under the agreed Forterro Cloud operating model. Updates, security maintenance and product releases are managed through the service, giving customers a clearer path to adopt new platform and AI capabilities where they are supported for their product and environment.
