IFS Architecture and Technology—building for change

Ever get the feeling that whenever your business changes, your business system takes twice as long to catch up? That’s what can happen when the system’s basic design isn’t flexible enough to meet the rapidly changing demands of your industry or market. IFS Applications combines the benefits of service-oriented architecture and components to give your business the agility it needs to stay one step ahead of the competition.

The agility of service-oriented architecture

Is flexibility essential to your business? Then you can’t be without an SOA-based business solution like IFS Applications. 

IFS is a pioneer in providing business software centered around actual business processes. You can reconfigure the system on the fly as those processes change, enabling your enterprise to adapt quickly to changing market conditions. 

The agility of components

The use of components in IFS Applications gives you faster payback and one of the lowest total costs of ownership (TCO) on the market.

IFS was the first company to build a true component-based business application, designed to enable step-by-step implementations. IFS Applications has made “big-bang” implementations obsolete. You can deploy only the functionality that you need right away. And as your business expands or changes, you can easily add components.

SOA + components = maximum agility

Do you feel locked in to your vendors’ choice of technology? With IFS Applications, the choice is yours.

Because IFS Service-Oriented Component Architecture is an open design based on industry standards, other applications and point solutions can easily access information and trigger functionality in IFS Applications.  This makes it much easier to integrate IFS Applications with other enterprise software packages, such as SAP® or Oracle® eBusiness Suite.

Secure by design, secure by default

There are plenty of evils lurking in today’s electronic world. IFS puts safety first and makes it easier to keep intruders at bay.

Security is built into the very framework of IFS Applications. IFS uses established technologies with proven security features, giving you maximum protection from unauthorized access, tampering, destruction, and other malicious behavior. The most secure configuration options are always the default.

IFS Partners & SOA - Oracle's view

In the new world of SOA it is vital that technology vendors work closely together to deliver software components which provide integrated, end-to-end business processes to organizations. IFS has had a strong partnership with Oracle since its foundation. Oracle are a major player in the evolution of SOA both as a technology provider and a deliverer of business process components. Hear Oracle's definition of SOA and how it will bring benefits to businesses - and how they rate IFS as a bold pioneer in this field.
