About IFS

IFS UK was formed in 1997. After continuous yet controlled growth, we now employ just under 200 staff across the UK. Another chapter in our history began in October 2008, when we moved into our new prestigious office building in High Wycombe called Artisan.

The User Group promotes and facilitates the exchange of information and opinions about the software and other common IFS user issues.

It organises regular meetings, seminars and workshops on IFS related subjects and acts as the channel through which IFS UK communicates with its users.

In addition, UK user issues and enhancement proposals are co-ordinated through the User Group to influence future application development.

IFS UK Ltd has a Software Escrow Agreement with The NCC Group. This means that we provide all of our source code to this third party, protecting you as a customer.

The NCC Group is the world's leading provider of Escrow Solutions. An Escrow Solution is a specialised form of IT assurance, where any business critical application can be securely deposited with The NCC Group. Placing software, development or web applications in an Escrow Solution allows licensees to gain access to the source code should a trigger event occur. The NCC Group provides a customer focused and quality driven service to 88 of the FTSE 100 companies.
