Beta Testing Begins for the Aurora
Program's IFS Enterprise Explorer |
|
|
|
|
 Over
the past year, you have been hearing about the IFS
Aurora Program, a new design and a new look for IFS
Applications. The IFS Enterprise Explorer is the
deliverable from the IFS Aurora Program, which is
IFS' focus on user productivity.
The IFS Enterprise Explorer is a
new, modern, and easy-to-use interface for IFS
Applications. It is a rich, web-deployed interface
that will work alongside and in synergy with the
existing web portal and mobile client interfaces.
IFS Enterprise Explorer is about:
- Modern Design (the look of
the software application)
- Ergonomics (how you interact)
- Productivity (how to get
things done faster)
- Collaboration (how to
interact with colleagues)
- IT Agility (making the
application easily available)
The beta test with existing
customers for the IFS Enterprise Explorer is
starting this month and a general release is
expected to be available in the summer of 2009.

Podcast: Unite Your Business with
Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP)
|
|
|
|
|
Listen to this month's
IFS Radio Net work
podcast series, as IFS Senior Advisor Bill Leedale
explains S&OP.
Every year or so, there are hot new three-letter
acronyms (TLAs). This year, Sales and Operations
Planning (S&OP), a systematic approach designed to
help your company react more quickly to market
change, is one of the hot TLAs.
Hear how S&OP can
bring all disciplines in a company into a single
version of reality and how enterprise software like
IFS Applications is helping realize the benefits.
|
"Sales
and Operations Planning is
when everyone comes together so
you are not just in the same hymn
book, but on the same page in that
book. That includes sales, marketing, research and
development, manufacturing, procurement and finance,
all having one set of plans
that everyone is working towards.
It is important that this process is
repeatable, and has executive sponsorship and
membership who actually show up in the process."
~ Bill Leedale,
IFS Senior Advisor

White Paper:
How To Use Projects to Master Asset Management
|
|
|
|
|
 IFS
Co-Founder Ulf Stern discusses how project management
functionality that is tightly integrated with Enterprise
Asset Management (EAM) and Asset Lifecycle Management
(ALM) tools is essential to executives of
asset-intensive industries. Lacking this integration,
valuable asset data is lost and asset utilitization
cannot be maximized.

IFS Makes Software 500 List and
Reports 16% Rise in Sales
|
|
|
|
|
 On
this year's 26th annual Software Magazine's Software 500
list IFS ranked 109. This ranking includes the world's
largest software and services providers. The Software
500 is a revenue-based ranking of software and services
suppliers targeting medium to large enterprises, their
IT professionals, software developers and business
managers involved in software and services purchasing.
|
"I am pleased
that IFS continues to be among the world's
500 most recognized software companies.
Earlier this month we released our third
quarter revenue results, which reported a 16
percent rise in global sales. As IFS
continues to strengthen its global ERP
footprint and increase global sales revenue,
it will likely climb closer to the top of
the Software 500 list."
