IFS Applications 7 enables enterprise agility so that organizations can take advantage of rapidly changing international market conditions. The new release gives enterprises a service-oriented architecture (SOA) with reusable business components designed for improved user productivity, faster implementation, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), and easier upgrades. Unlike traditional monolithic enterprise software, IFS Applications 7 meets today’s business needs."Software components were the fundamental building blocks in the first generation of IFS Applications back in 1998," said Uun W. Untoro, President Director of IFS Solutions Indonesia. "Now we are bringing to market the seventh generation of our component-based applications while our competitors are still on their first. The popularity of SOA means our competitors’ development dollars have to be used to break up their monolithic applications while their customers wait for promises to be delivered. At IFS, we can concentrate on industry-specific business functionality that gives our customers a true competitive edge in today’s increasingly global market." IFS Applications 7 enables the efficient management and utilization of assets and resources across the globe, and the transformation of traditional manufacturing enterprises toward outsourcing and project-based business models with increasingly short product lifecycles. New supply chain management and project enterprise features mean customers can meet complex global regulatory requirements, improve forecasting, and take advantage of multi-site planning and mixed mode manufacturing. IFS Applications 7 also includes improved functionality for call centers, resource allocation and planning, field service, project connection and sales contract management which enables more efficient service processes both for independent service providers and for companies providing advanced after sales service. Handi Sapta Mukti, Business Development and Marketing Director added, “Being able to implement the components one at a time makes the implementation process shorter and less complicated. The focus can be on the things that bring competitive advantage most quickly. And that also means a better payback curve and faster return on investment”.
