IFS Applications “dominant” in engineer to order (ETO) manufacturing ERP functionality
IFS Applications has been ranked in the dominant zone for engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturing enterprise resource planning (ERP) software by third-party analyst group Technology Evaluation Centers.
According to the report:
“IFS Applications has four modules located in the Dominant Zone: Financials, Manufacturing Management, Purchasing Management, and Quality Management. IFS Applications’ strength in these modules is due to its smartly designed and well balanced software and high support level in all four mentioned modules—an essential need for businesses of medium or larger size. Note that IFS Applications achieved a maximal functional focus score for the Quality Management module. This means that it supports the vast majority of the functionality defined within our model for Quality Management.”
The report also notes that IFS Applications is particularly strong for asset-intensive companies and those in project-based sectors.
“It is no surprise that Technology Evaluation Centers recognizes our strength not only in engineer-to-order manufacturing, but in project-based business across the board,” IFS North America President and CEO Cindy Jaudon said. “A broad spectrum of companies – from engineer, procure, construct (EPC) contractors to industrial equipment manufacturers – really need powerful project management functionality built into their enterprise solution. And meeting the needs of these companies is a primary differentiating point for IFS and for IFS Applications.”
