The release change to GFOS 2025 is part of the continuous development of the existing system landscape towards a scalable, highly available platform for integrated workforce and production processes.

The switch was implemented jointly by the GFOS teams and the responsible departments at mefro.
"With the switch to GFOS 2025 SaaS, we have reached an important milestone in the further development of our IT and production landscape. The partnership-based collaboration with GFOS and the structured project approach made it possible to implement the release change efficiently and stably.
