IFS World: IFS Applications^TM

IFS is one of the world’s leading providers of component-based business software developed using open standards. With its expertise in the mid-market, IFS has since 1983 been a provider of business applications focused on meeting the needs of selected industries. Today, IFS operates in two areas: lifecycle management, where asset and product lifecycle management are critical issues, and mid-market ERP, which covers distribution and manufacturing in mid-sized companies.

IFS is a Premier IBM Business Partner and a member of several PartnerWorld Industry Networks (PWINs), including automotive, fabrication and assembly and life sciences.
