IFS Copperleaf Labs is our client innovation partnership—a collaborative environment where we design and develop new solutions directly with our clients. Labs brings together your experts and our R&D team to co-create, prototype, and validate emerging capabilities that extend the value of the IFS Copperleaf AIP solution for your unique challenges.
Why it matters
- Innovation leadership: Rapid, client-led innovation that advances the AIP category and applies AI, data science, and industry expertise to real-world challenges. Through Labs, clients collaborate directly with our product teams to shape outcomes and the evolution of our platform.
- Client partnership: Move beyond influencing a roadmap—co-develop and test capabilities built for your needs, then scale to the broader community when relevant.
- Market differentiation: While others innovate behind closed doors, we invite clients into the process—accelerating time-to-value and ensuring priorities stay aligned with what matters to you.
- Governance & co-creation: Every Labs initiative follows our design system and the same rigorous validation as our core product innovations to ensure enterprise-grade quality and seamless integration.

The IFS Copperleaf team is fantastic. Lots of times we know what we want to try to do, but we don’t know how to do it, and they always help us try to think through how to solve some of our challenges.
What does our Design Process look like?
Design Thinking guides how we build with clients. We move through six stages—Understand, Define, Sketch, Decide, Prototype, Validate.
Through IFS Copperleaf Labs, you can join end-to-end or plug in at key validation points. Every step sets clear goals, includes user testing, and meets enterprise-grade quality standards.
