IFS debuts IFS Cloud to provide seamless management of company assets

IFS is releasing IFS Cloud, providing a single platform that innately connects all its products to deliver the end-to-end capabilities a company needs.

Customers can choose to deploy best-of-breed or leverage the power of connecting their value chains across capabilities such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), human capital management (HCM), asset management (EAM), and field service (FSM).

With IFS Cloud, IFS offers a unique and single technology platform with one common user experience, one data model, and one consistent support offering.

IFS Cloud brings simplicity, choice, and innovation to organizations that need to evolve to new business models, control costs, expand faster, and serve their customers better, according to the vendor.

By implementing IFS Cloud, companies can easily scale and simply switch on new functionality (such as additional modules or new innovative capabilities) when the time is right for their business.

Likewise, customers can choose how and where they deploy IFS Cloud, which has been engineered for the cloud but can be deployed on-premises with a choice of residency.

IFS Cloud marks the start of twice-yearly?feature releases, giving customers the choice to move to the latest version as and when their business is ready.

“The path to digital transformation is not a simple one. Most businesses are complex and have intricate value chains, which is why few organizations succeed and even fewer vendors provide the tools to truly enable it,” said Darren Roos, IFS CEO. “At IFS, our single most important goal is to deliver value to our customers, and we want to provide a clear path for them to evolve to new business models, compete and win.”

With digital innovations embedded, IFS Cloud’s architecture also includes new and improved application services for intelligent and autonomous business that can be natively leveraged across IFS products and across industries.

This makes it practical and affordable for customers to take advantage of technologies such as machine learning (ML), augmented and mixed reality (AR/MR), artificial intelligence (AI), and internet of things (IoT), ready to use ‘out of the box’. 

Also announced is the first instalment of the IFS application lifecycle management capability, IFS Lifecycle Experience. IFS Lifecycle Experience features a portal that puts users in control of their application by fusing multiple touch points, to give them access to information, tooling, code, and permissions.
