Further focus on ESG capabilities to accelerate time to value across business operations.
LONDON, Nov. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — IFS, the global cloud enterprise software company, today announced the general availability of the second of its twice-yearly IFS Cloud releases for 2023. The release is centered on capabilities that will help customers to increase productivity across their business and leverage digital technology to build agility and operational excellence.
The content of this November release is a continuation of IFS’ goal to help customers in its core industries to build their composable, intelligent autonomous enterprise.
From this release onwards, the company’s recently launched AI architecture IFS.ai‘s capabilities will be directly woven into all of IFS’s products and industry specific capabilities. This makes AI widely available across customers’ organizations, enabling them to simulate, optimize, and automate industry-specific business processes and increase productivity of their people, assets and services across their entire business operations.
Enterprises are building business resilience to be able to respond quickly, effectively and in a sustainable way to changing macro-economic conditions. Achieving this for the longer term requires them to build agility and adaptability to mitigate risks, creating a bigger dependency on technology innovation. Those companies who have already invested in digitalization will be able to leverage AI faster and manage their operational performance, as well as increase productivity.
To this end, the November IFS Cloud release continues to focus on three strategic business themes:
