After publishing major upgrades of its IFS Applications suite every three years since 2012, enterprise software vendor IFS is switching to a six-month refresh cycle that will ensure that customers always have access to its latest features. “It is really the last big launch we will ever do,” said CEO Darren Roos, a former SAP cloud executive who has led IFS since 2018. “From now on it’s IFS Cloud.” Launched March 10, IFS Cloud is a suite of ERP applications with significant extensions for field service management (FSM) and enterprise asset management (EAM), all based on the same data model.
