IFS lands Eagle Project and launches IFS Applications 8
ITASCA, Ill. (May 28, 2012) – IFS, the global enterprise applications company, launches the latest version of its extended ERP suite, IFS Applications(TM) 8. The solution has been developed in close collaboration with early adopter customers under the name Project Eagle. With this new generation, IFS brings to its customers leading-edge industry innovations realized through a uniquely intuitive user experience.

Based entirely on agile development methodology and in close collaboration with customers, IFS Applications 8 consolidates all innovations produced since the previous version.
IFS focuses on industries where any of the four core processes service and asset, projects, manufacturing, and supply chain, are strategic. The new and enhanced features are custom-built to support the latest trends within the industries that focus on these four core processes. The new version also includes a new BI concept, enhanced platform technology and a fully user-centric approach to business applications.
IFS Applications 8 is the first version to be delivered with the IFS Enterprise Explorer (IFS EE) interface as standard. The interface is based on the latest usability research and offers extensive customization options to suit each individual role and competency within a company.

“We are very pleased to present IFS Applications 8. It has been a very rewarding project which has now come to fruition in the form of new and enhanced industry solutions coupled with an intuitive and elegant user experience. The inspiration for Project Eagle has mainly come from our customers, without whom this undertaking would have been impossible.
