From our regional office in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, we are well positioned to witness one of the most astonishing construction booms of modern times, making Dubai one of the fastest growing cities in the world. This acceleration on construction activity is not limited to Dubai, but is visible across the entire Gulf States and in South Asia where much needed infrastructure investments are gathering pace. From an IT perspective, this presents many opportunities, as there is typically a very low level of ERP saturation in this sector of the market. All that is changing however, with the dramatic increases in both commodity and labour prices in recent years; margins have been eroded and project control has risen to the top of the agenda. As one of IFS’ seven focus vertical industries, this marketplace, which we refer to as the ‘Project-Centric’ sector, requires a solution which caters for every part of a project’s lifecycle from inception to decommissioning.IFS, an award winning provider of ERP solutions into this sector, offers a fully integrated solution that provides comprehensive functionality across all aspects of the construction and maintenance industry.The technology focuses on managing projects, contracting and subcontracting, cost management, resource allocation and payment process, whilst also providing the tools to support project budgets and forecasting. With this capability, this sector has become one of the fastest growing for IFS in recent years. Within the Middle East, African and South Asian regions of IFS, we carry not only the solution, but the professional expertise to successfully implement these solutions for project focused industries.
