About IFS

At IFS being global never means being far away. Through solid industry knowledge and customer participation in product development we always stay close to the changing reality of our customers. And with over 20 support centers all over the world help is always near.

IFS Applications is a truly global product – with a truly global organization to implement it. More than 50 offices around the globe and a worldwide infrastructure for services and support make IFS a reliable partner in global implementation projects.
