LifeInstaller schedules and runs IFS Cloud delivery installs — unattended, every environment, every time — for the deployments IFS's own tooling doesn't cover.
Environment Studio, IFS's own delivery installation tool, only runs on IFS Managed Cloud. Everywhere else, the process is still manual.
Environment Studio already automates delivery installation here.
A hosting partner runs the infrastructure. This is where LifeInstaller was built to work.
The customer's own IT team hosts and maintains the environment.
Infrastructure lives on the customer's own site, fully self-managed.
IFS built the evergreen model around frequent, low-risk updates. Outside IFS Managed Cloud, every one of those updates is still a manual job: someone finds the delivery, downloads it, places the files correctly, runs the installer, and waits.
That's fine once. It's a real cost repeated across every customer, every environment, every year.
A typical customer takes 10 deliveries a year — release updates, service updates, CRIM installs — across 3 environments. That's the real workload behind "keeping customers current."
Four steps, and only one of them ever needs a person.
Pick the environment and delivery; LifeInstaller shows only what's actually eligible to install next.
On production, a database backup is required and verified before anything else proceeds.
An agent on the management server downloads, extracts, and runs the install — day or night.
Full install logs land in the portal automatically, with a record of every activity.
Hosting partners get their time back. Customers get environments that are actually kept current — which was always the point of evergreen.
IFS designed Cloud around continuous, incremental updates instead of risky annual upgrades. LifeInstaller is the piece of tooling Partner Hosted, Customer Managed, and On-Premises environments were missing to make that actually practical — not just a philosophy customers hear about, but something that happens automatically, on schedule, every time.
