Leading Spanish consulting company LKS Group partners with IFS
IFS, the global enterprise applications company, has signed a partnership agreement with LKS Group, one of the leading providers of professional consulting services in Spain. The companies will collaborate on joint sales opportunities, as well as implementation and support projects centered on the IFS Applications™ software suite.
With more than 1,000 employees, LKS Group is one of the leading reference points in the professional services sector in Spain. Providing extensive coverage throughout Spain, the company is also present on the global scene with offices in France, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Uruguay, India and China.
Through the partnership, IFS and LKS Group will be able to offer some 400 experts capable of providing re-engineering, process analysis, and change management services related to IFS Applications. The companies will deliver enhanced customer benefits in targeted industries such as manufacturing, engineering, service, energy & utilities, and telecommunications. Already working jointly to implement IFS Applications at manufacturing company GOIZPER S. COOP., IFS and LKS Group expects to sign two to three customers per year.
“Our goal is to assist medium-sized businesses in executing their growth strategies, for which solutions from larger, less flexible vendors can be expensive and difficult to implement,” LKS Group Technology Consulting Director Jesús Dorronsoro said. “IFS Applications addresses the requirements of our target customers, especially within industrial manufacturing, whose diversified and increasingly mobilized value chains call for robust asset management and service management capabilities.”
“By partnering with LKS Group, we will be able to leverage their presence throughout the Spanish market and benefit from increased visibility and reach new customers,” IFS Iberica Managing Director Nick Wasey said. “Through the partnership, we will be able to add even more value to new and existing customers in the region. Our technology and industry focus are entirely complimentary, both drawing on dynamic and agile organizations with proven domain expertise.”
