WHY UPGRADE TO IFS APPLICATIONS 8?

Although IFS Applications 8 is the most technologically advanced version of our ERP software, the main reasons for upgrading have less to do with IT than with sound business sense.

IFS Applications 8:

Improves your business: Extensive investment in all core solutions has added 782 new capabilities to the suite and consolidated previous product extensions. Now they are all neatly wrapped in a single package of business software designed and tested for—and by—customers in all our focused industries.
Integrates mobile solutions: IFS Applications 8 and the IFS Enterprise Explorer user interface is designed for touch devices, making it highly portable. It also includes a range of touch apps that make your business day more efficient because you and your employees can complete tasks even when you are away from your desk—or miles away from your office.
Reduces total cost of ownership (TCO): New capabilities reduce the need for customization and help make it possible to mold IFS Applications to be a much better fit to your business. And the usual IFS step-by-step approach to implementation means you never need to buy or install more software than you need. One of our customers got rid of more than 100 customizations by upgrading to IFS Applications 8.
Is battle-proven: IFS Applications 8 was live even before it was officially launched! Developed in collaboration with five early adopters in the project, service, manufacturing and asset industries, the functionality has already been tried and tested. We know it is fit for purpose because our customers say so!
Increase productivity: Continued focus on making IFS Applications attractive and user-friendly combats the growing complexity of business applications and serves a busier, faster-moving workforce that has no time to learn systems. It’s intuitive, adaptable to various roles, easily extensible, and task-oriented for greater efficiency.

Other reasons for upgrading include added functionality for:

Occupational Health and Safety
Corporate Social Responsibility
Quality Assurance and Audit Management

IFS APPLICATIONS 8 EARLY ADOPTER

BrightPoint, the global leader in the wireless value chain, became an Early Adopter of IFS Applications 8 to get access to touch apps from IFS that would speed up defined business processes and increase internal service levels.
