IFS, the global enterprise applications company, launched IFS Applications 10, the latest version of its enterprise applications suite at the IFS World Conference 2018. The suite has been built to help organizations leverage leading technologies such as automation, the Internet of Things (IoT), and servitization, and serves as a base for your digital transformation.
IFS Applications 10 provides built-in industry-specific functionality that enables you to differentiate yourself, instantly giving you a competitive advantage. Here are the top 5 features of IFS Applications 10 that can enhance your enterprise management.
1). IFS Aurena
IFS Aurena is IFS’ new state-of-the-art browser-based user experience that offers an intuitive user interface. IFS has been quietly naming it the ‘most important investment in user interface to date’ by the company. IFS Aurena, they say is the ‘evolution’ of their existing user experience and brings a ‘consumer-first’ re-design that will help to increase employee engagement as well as productivity. A truly responsive design allows you to have a consistent user experience across whatever device you may be using, such as a smartphone, tablet, desktop or laptop.
Aurena comes with a card-list view that provides the gist of all the data from your company's records. The search functionality lets you add robust filters for better results as well. B2B users can now customize their specific views, with their organizational branding and colors. The IFS Lobby has also been integrated with a new analytics and context panel, allowing everyone to tailor the functionality according to their needs.
2). Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are all the rage. The IFS Aurena bot builds on that to interact with systems in natural language through voice/ text that utilizes advanced machine learning techniques. It can perform functions like attendance tracking, and leave management. It can also be integrated with common business tools like Skype and Facebook Messenger.
3). Service Focus
IFS has reinvigorated its focus on service-oriented organizations, with enhanced capabilities for manufacturers and aftermarket service providers alike with powerful integration. IFS Applications 10 now allows you to control all aspects of their service life-cycle including:
- Managing work or contracts/ quotations from the CRM module.
- Better support for multi-user and multi-occurrence work execution.
- Enhanced visibility and resource management.
- Management of third-party contracted workers.
- Increased traceability and quality management.
- Better formula management/ batch balancing and trade management.
4) Cloud-first APIs
IFS Applications uses open micro-service organised APIs, leveraging the latest RESTful and OASIS oData standard. This ensures the swift integration of data and processes in IFS Applications via the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, for most modern cloud technologies and SaaS solutions like Office 365.
5) Flexibility
IFS allows you to choose the way you want to digitally transform your organization through IFS Applications 10. You can choose between the Cloud-as-a-Managed-Service, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) or an on-premise implementation.
