With IFS Applications you stay agile, ready for change and evolution without disrupting the implemented solution. Our strategy of building for change includes a number of best practices, including a commitment to standard technologies and well-known products.

Built using a modern, component-based, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), IFS Applications is made up of discrete software objects that can be selected and configured based on your specific business needs. This frees you from buying software components you don’t need and allows you to implement software for immediate needs first. You can add new components step by step as your requirements change and new technologies emerge. The result is a flexible system that delivers rapid payback and lower overall risk.

IFS Applications is built up of components, each of which provides business functionality and integrates with the other installed components. This allows change and evolution within a component without affecting other components. 

IFS develops the technology and architecture in IFS Applications for agility, ease of use, low total cost of ownership, and interoperability with other applications and technologies.
