This helps us to register the traffic flow on the website and provides us with statistics and information on how many visitors we have on our website, the time the visitors spend on our website, the visitors’ origin and domain and what operative system, such as Windows, and browser they use. We also use cookies to trace downloads you make, to facilitate your subsequent downloads and provide us with information about your downloads. To sum up, using cookies enables us to improve the service and function of our website for your benefit. Cookies contain text that can be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. That text often consists of a string of numbers and letters that uniquely identifies your computer, but may contain other information as well. Here is an example of the text stored in a cookie that IFS might place on your hard disk when you visit one of our websites: E3732CA7E319442F97EA48A170C99801. On this website we use cookies that are saved to the hard disk and therefore remain after the browser is closed, so called persistent cookies. We may also use so-called session cookies, which are cookies saved to the web browser that disappear when the browser is closed. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. You can accept or reject cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to reject cookies. You must, however, allow cookies to be set to use all the functions on this website. Not allowing cookies will affect the possibility to conduct: Downloading gated assets, social sharing, personalization, watch and share videos. Storing your Preferences and Settings.

By Capability By Category Partners IFS Academy Global Support & Consulting Services × Close IFS Cloud is built on a single technology platform that brings innovation and delightful experiences to life in your business. Our platform combines an intuitive user experience that lets you connect and extend using 100% open APIs, with the benefits of machine learning and optimization, reporting, analytics, and process automation throughout IFS Cloud. It’s supported by an application lifecycle experience with a range of tools that help you get the most business value from each specific stage of your implementation. And all this comes with the security and reliability you need to trust IFS Cloud to run your business. Delightful user experiences help your people get more done. Work from any location and device with our browser-based UI, offline-capable apps, office add-ins, chat bots and augmented reality capabilities. Make the solution yours. Configure it with visual designers for user experience and process automation. Use APIs to extend on the outside, or extend in layers with developer tooling. Automate and optimize performance of your business with built-in Machine Learning (ML) and evolutionary computing AI capabilities, leveraged across pre-built and bespoke industry use cases. Awareness and decision-making support for individual tasks, departments, processes, and enterprise strategy. Connect innovations, technology, automation, user channels, and other systems with 100% open APIs, events, and smart partnerships. Run IFS Cloud with confidence in our cloud service, or in a location of your choosing, thanks to a containerized architecture and a choice of deployment models. Fast access to value and full control over your solution, tailoring, and evergreen update cadence. By using a people-centric design, we tap into the experience and knowledge your teams already have of using consumer software, apps, and services. It means that people who know the business don’t need to spend time learning the application. IFS Aurena is the main user experience for IFS Cloud. Using progressive and responsive web technologies, our intuitive, browser-based interface runs comfortably on any device: from mobile and tablet to multi-screen desktop. Pages adapt automatically to the screen size and type of device used. The browser-based experience is complemented with offline-capable apps built on IFS Aurena Native—our cross platform mobile capability that delivers apps across Android, iOS and Windows devices. IFS Aurena Native apps and IFS Aurena itself can be configured to reflect your brand, colors, and logos. Both IFS Aurena and IFS Aurena Native apps feature built-in augmented reality capabilities that provide remote assistance, for example to field workers. The capabilities augment live video chat, letting you point-and-show, draw and more on the live feed. Through messaging channels like Microsoft Teams and IFS Aurena itself, IFS Aurena Bot lets you complete specific tasks in a conversational way—using natural language, text or voice. Sometimes the best experience is the one provided from within another application, while still accessing data and functionality in IFS Cloud. Our platform offers add-in experiences, like the IFS CRM add-in for Microsoft Outlook and IFS Business Reporter add-in for Microsoft Excel. Regardless of how you access IFS Cloud, authentication and single-sign-on is performed using OpenID Connect and your choice of identity provider, including Azure AD, Okta, PingIdentity and more. Access to APIs, from clients that can’t present a sign-in UI, can be achieved using oAuth2. As well as broad and deep out-of-the-box capabilities, our solutions offer extensive scope for tailoring. For example, IFS Cloud lets you tailor the user interface and process automation so you can optimize it for your business and ways of working. We recognize the most accessible way to tailor is through configuration, and we support this with intuitive ‘designers’ rather than developer-focused environments that require highly specialist skills. Along with these, the IFS Cloud platform is built from the ground up to help you connect to other external software, data and platforms, or perform more traditional customization using our developer tools. Presenting the right information and options to users is one of the most powerful ways to make work more effective, efficient, and fun. With our Lobby Designer, you can configure exactly what information is shown at-a-glance to users. The Page Designer lets you add, move, hide and rearrange UI elements on pages to fit exactly how you work. Reduce manual work and automate business processes with the built-in Workflow Designer. With simple drag-and-drop configuration, you can pick up on any business event and automate additional tasks—calling on our APIs, user input, machine learning and external systems. Extend IFS Cloud’s data model through configuration: add new attributes, new relationships, and even entirely new entities. Place added attributes as fields on pages, in report layouts, and expose them through our APIs. Access IFS Cloud from within other applications, like Office365. Build new experiences using low-code tools, such as PowerApps and OutSystems. Develop a custom front end. Configure “punch-out” links and commands in the user interface, and much more. All these scenarios are not just possible, but easy and straightforward, thanks to our standards-based RESTful APIs and our API Explorer. In addition to our extensive configuration capabilities, which will handle most of your tailoring needs, you can make code level extensions in IFS Developer Studio. Such additions and extensions are kept in a separate code layer to minimize the impact of carrying them forward across future updates to IFS Cloud. Integrating new technologies so they bring value to real-world business and processes is a challenge, which is why we are providing advanced AI, automation, and optimization capabilities as services within our platform. That way, we can leverage them across the IFS Cloud solution in a way that becomes practical and affordable for our customers. Optimization involves complex situations with many variables and constraints. For example, the challenge in field service is to determine who should go where and do what when. With just 100 jobs done by 20 people, there are 10179 possible plans and continuously changing circumstances as the day progresses, so optimization needs to involve more than just brute force searching. Our world-leading scheduling optimization engine solves such dynamically-changing problems using a combination of local search, clustering, what-if simulation, and simulated annealing. The hierarchy of algorithms includes evolutionary computing techniques such as genetic algorithms. In addition, our scheduling engine uses AI to automate the process of algorithm selection, tuning and exploring the algorithm parameters to choose the best combination of algorithms for a given problem. Since machine learning (ML) allows systems to learn and adjust their actions without human assistance, it’s an important capability to serve defined business processes as well as intelligent process automation. Our machine learning service provides a complete ML pipeline that automates data preparation, training and deployment, removing the work typically done by a data scientist. The result is that the value of machine learning can be realized by business users as well as embodied in out-of-the-box automation bundles such as sales opportunity qualification. The ML service supports both pre-trained (e.g. by us, using available industry data) as well as bespoke models (e.g. opportunity qualification) where the machine learning model is trained, tuned and validated on your own data in order to capture the complexities and nuances of decisions unique to your business. Automating business processes reduces manual work and often leads to increased quality through consistent and timely execution of these processes. Our platform enables BPA through the use of events to initiate automation and with our Workflow Designer to configure the automation flow. Automation can be initiated from pre-defined events, the event of any status or change to any object, or from action events when users do something—regardless of whether that results in a data change. Analytics to provide awareness and decision-making support needs to be available when and where people work. For many it’s about having that at-a-glance awareness in the context of their daily tasks. For others it’s about line of business reporting or slicing and dicing years’ worth of data to explore insights. And for all: it’s about having easy access to information and smart ways to visualize, analyze, report and present it. Lobbies can be tailored to individual needs, providing you with an at-a-glance view of the information and actions that matter most to your role. As an add-in to Microsoft Excel, IFS Business Reporter is the perfect tool for business reporting and, thanks to write-back support, it’s ideal for business planning. Design reports using all your favorite Excel features, run them against live data, write back changes (to a budget forecast, for example), knowing your data will always be kept safe and under control in IFS Cloud. Benefit from our ready-to use in-memory analysis models, each containing the measures and dimensions you need to analyze decades of data. Tailor existing models or create entirely new ones. And since our analysis models are implemented as tabular models, you can use virtually any reporting or analytics front end you want. Tap into PowerBI’s full power and vibrant eco-system to design reports against our Analysis Models, or directly against live data. Embed PowerBI reports directly in the IFS Aurena user experience, with the ability to drill through from report elements to pages in IFS Cloud for further details and analysis. Design and print operational reports such as order confirmations, invoices, and labels. Our operational printing tools and engine support pixel perfect layouts, barcodes, PDF creation, and detailed control of printer settings. IFS Cloud comes with innovation embedded for real-life industry scenarios. But we understand that as a customer you might want to add and connect your own innovations as well. Which is why it’s built for openness too, so you can take things further—connecting your own innovations, applications and processes to the data and functionality within IFS Cloud. By providing the openness and APIs you need, IFS Cloud lets you innovate more easily and achieve digital transformation faster. In an increasingly connected and automated world, complete API coverage is vital. Whether it’s integrating data and processes between different applications, extending your application on the outside, or automating activities, APIs are key. IFS Cloud includes a complete set of open APIs, covering all data and every process. The platform exposes these as OData RESTful APIs, complete with OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) specifications. In addition, our platform provides useful tools such as the built-in API Explorer that lets developers search for APIs, review API documentation, and configure API access. To create integration and automation—whether within an application or across applications—the business event initiating the process flow must be captured. IFS Cloud comes with a range of useful pre-defined business events, and you can configure your own events—to use for performing simple actions (e.g. send an e-mail) or initiating integration and automation flows. You can configure events to fire on any entity creation, data change, state change, or from actions performed by users that don’t result in a data change. Our platform has built-in capabilities for direct API access and process automation, along with message queueing and routing through IFS Connect. But you can also orchestrate more complex integration scenarios through external integration platforms. Our partnership with—and pre-built connectors for—Boomi iPaaS is a strong example of this. And thanks to the full coverage of open APIs, IFS Cloud works comfortably with most integration platforms. Choose whether to run IFS Cloud in our cloud service, or operate the application software in a different way, including on-premise. You can select from three different deployment models, and thanks to our containerized architecture, receive the same IFS Cloud software for each one. What’s more, our platform lets you move from one model to another, should business requirements or legislation change. We provide IFS Cloud as a service to you from our cloud—connect to the service, and we take care of the rest. We supply a pre-packaged “virtual appliance” with IFS Cloud software, which you operate together with the main database, on supported platform software, with choice of data residency. We provide the various software artifacts (e.g. containers, database scripts) that make up IFS Cloud to you, so you can install and operate it yourself, with choice of data residency. As part of our overall customer experience, IFS Lifecycle Experience provides the elements you need to manage your IFS Cloud solution through its entire application lifecycle—from initial development, through years of usage and updates, to new releases. You are in control, inviting IFS or IFS partners to perform work on your solution. Your self-service entry to manage your solution. The lifecycle experience portal lets you create your build place, apply service updates and releases, and much more. Contains everything you need to build your solution. The build place lets you access IFS Cloud releases and service updates and contains the solution repository, which stores any tailoring or extension development. The build place also provides DEV and QA environments along with automated build pipelines that perform continuous integration and delivery. Provides you with development tools, documentation, and automated tool updates. By using a people-centric design, we tap into the experience and knowledge your teams already have of using consumer software, apps, and services. It means that people who know the business don’t need to spend time learning the application. IFS Aurena is the main user experience for IFS Cloud. Using progressive and responsive web technologies, our intuitive, browser-based interface runs comfortably on any device: from mobile and tablet to multi-screen desktop. Pages adapt automatically to the screen size and type of device used. The browser-based experience is complemented with offline-capable apps built on IFS Aurena Native—our cross platform mobile capability that delivers apps across Android, iOS and Windows devices. IFS Aurena Native apps and IFS Aurena itself can be configured to reflect your brand, colors, and logos. Both IFS Aurena and IFS Aurena Native apps feature built-in augmented reality capabilities that provide remote assistance, for example to field workers. The capabilities augment live video chat, letting you point-and-show, draw and more on the live feed. Through messaging channels like Microsoft Teams and IFS Aurena itself, IFS Aurena Bot lets you complete specific tasks in a conversational way—using natural language, text or voice. Sometimes the best experience is the one provided from within another application, while still accessing data and functionality in IFS Cloud. Our platform offers add-in experiences, like the IFS CRM add-in for Microsoft Outlook and IFS Business Reporter add-in for Microsoft Excel. Regardless of how you access IFS Cloud, authentication and single-sign-on is performed using OpenID Connect and your choice of identity provider, including Azure AD, Okta, PingIdentity and more. Access to APIs, from clients that can’t present a sign-in UI, can be achieved using oAuth2. As well as broad and deep out-of-the-box capabilities, our solutions offer extensive scope for tailoring. For example, IFS Cloud lets you tailor the user interface and process automation so you can optimize it for your business and ways of working. We recognize the most accessible way to tailor is through configuration, and we support this with intuitive ‘designers’ rather than developer-focused environments that require highly specialist skills. Along with these, the IFS Cloud platform is built from the ground up to help you connect to other external software, data and platforms, or perform more traditional customization using our developer tools. Presenting the right information and options to users is one of the most powerful ways to make work more effective, efficient, and fun. With our Lobby Designer, you can configure exactly what information is shown at-a-glance to users. The Page Designer lets you add, move, hide and rearrange UI elements on pages to fit exactly how you work. Reduce manual work and automate business processes with the built-in Workflow Designer. With simple drag-and-drop configuration, you can pick up on any business event and automate additional tasks—calling on our APIs, user input, machine learning and external systems. Extend IFS Cloud’s data model through configuration: add new attributes, new relationships, and even entirely new entities. Place added attributes as fields on pages, in report layouts, and expose them through our APIs. Access IFS Cloud from within other applications, like Office365. Build new experiences using low-code tools, such as PowerApps and OutSystems. Develop a custom front end. Configure “punch-out” links and commands in the user interface, and much more. All these scenarios are not just possible, but easy and straightforward, thanks to our standards-based RESTful APIs and our API Explorer. In addition to our extensive configuration capabilities, which will handle most of your tailoring needs, you can make code level extensions in IFS Developer Studio. Such additions and extensions are kept in a separate code layer to minimize the impact of carrying them forward across future updates to IFS Cloud. Integrating new technologies so they bring value to real-world business and processes is a challenge, which is why we are providing advanced AI, automation, and optimization capabilities as services within our platform. That way, we can leverage them across the IFS Cloud solution in a way that becomes practical and affordable for our customers. Optimization involves complex situations with many variables and constraints. For example, the challenge in field service is to determine who should go where and do what when. With just 100 jobs done by 20 people, there are 10179 possible plans and continuously changing circumstances as the day progresses, so optimization needs to involve more than just brute force searching. Our world-leading scheduling optimization engine solves such dynamically-changing problems using a combination of local search, clustering, what-if simulation, and simulated annealing. The hierarchy of algorithms includes evolutionary computing techniques such as genetic algorithms. In addition, our scheduling engine uses AI to automate the process of algorithm selection, tuning and exploring the algorithm parameters to choose the best combination of algorithms for a given problem. Since machine learning (ML) allows systems to learn and adjust their actions without human assistance, it’s an important capability to serve defined business processes as well as intelligent process automation. Our machine learning service provides a complete ML pipeline that automates data preparation, training and deployment, removing the work typically done by a data scientist. The result is that the value of machine learning can be realized by business users as well as embodied in out-of-the-box automation bundles such as sales opportunity qualification. The ML service supports both pre-trained (e.g. by us, using available industry data) as well as bespoke models (e.g. opportunity qualification) where the machine learning model is trained, tuned and validated on your own data in order to capture the complexities and nuances of decisions unique to your business.

By Capability By Category × Close This is IFS Cloud IFS Cloud functionality IFS Cloud Platform × Close Service software has become more important than ever with the trend of growing customer expectations and increased competition, which has led to a shift among service organizations. Forward-thinking companies now strive for excellence through optimization, and firms are laying the groundwork for tomorrow’s challenges by focusing on utilities like cross-organization integration, outcomes-based contracts, and zero-touch service in order to maintain a competitive edge. This speaks to a growing imperative among all service firms to build a digital-first organization, focus on process improvements, workforce excellence, and passing those time and value savings onto their customers. IFS give you the tools that you need to supercharge those initiatives with our service industry solutions. With IFS, you have a service partner that offers unparalleled breadth and depth, allowing you to accelerate your output and dynamically enhance your business, while making no compromises to the way that you go to market. IFS stands alone in the service industry in its ability to provide the whole picture of your service business, from the asset, through the execution. With IFS, you get a partner with the in-depth knowledge of the service industry software needed for you to challenge the boundaries of service excellence. There are a lot of exciting technology advancements changing the service landscape for capital and industrial equipment. On one hand, large serviceable assets are continuing to increase in complexity, which makes repair and maintenance a sometimes-daunting task. On the other hand, new technologies and advancements, when wielded properly, can turn that complexity into an asset for an organization, allowing opportunities for remote resolution, predictive service, and significantly less downtime. Come see how IFS has built a solution to support you in those goals. Between a diverse and inconsistent set of serviceable assets, and an ever-growing level of complexity, maximizing service efficiency and managing downtime for high-tech and office equipment managers is more important than ever. Partner this with an increasing web of security concerns, regulatory issues, and corporate policies, and resolution is almost never as easy as it should be. To tackle these challenges, you need to find a service partner who can support the unique complexity of your service practice. IFS is ready to support your end-to-end service needs. For professional service providers, the needs of service excellence extend far beyond the technician and the customer. While some service management solutions can help optimize some service operations and not others, IFS is independently recognized for not just the depth, but also the breadth of its service solution. With FSM, you can feel confident that you will never need to compromise on integrating your processes, thus increasing uptime, saving operationally, and getting access the holistic data that can help your business move to the next level. Leading property and commercial services businesses understand that when issues arise, they need to be ready to address them expediently, and effectively. These solutions come from a dense network of in-house, contracted, and contingent labor sources, all of which need to be centrally managed. Whether it be a residential, retail, or industrial space, organizations need a service management platform with a scope of solutions that are tailored to their specific business. IFS takes that complexity and makes it an asset. Come see how. Retail is changing. With more choices than ever, customers are demanding standout experience from their shopping experiences, both when they purchase a product, and for the long-term. Forward-thinking retail enterprises understand that getting after-sales service right offers them an engine for new product offerings, and a way to engage with customers well beyond the sale. With IFS, Retail Professionals have a partner that can help them challenge the boundaries of traditional retail, and set them up for long-term success. New standards like 5G mean the telecoms industry needs connected business software that manages many varied challenges to remain efficient. The dispersed asset management of this smart, connected environment becomes more complex. Managing complex network assets, ensuring that asset performance management is optimal, that maintenance meets all the budget and cost objectives of an organization and in the 'last mile' the optimization of service delivery and customer satisfaction is enhanced is a common goal of the IFS solution. Trucking, logistics, and transportation companies have more tools that even to track, organize, and manage their fleet operations. With that comes increased customer expectations around the speed, accuracy, and transparency of operations and product delivery. With IFS, organizations have a partner that will help them seamlessly combine insights and analytics from the many systems at their disposal, and additionally offer them the tools to perform fleet management, parts management, and reverse logistics better than ever before li|Service Industries h1|Service Industry Software h2|IFS places heavy emphasis on our software solutions for the service industry, creating a valuable tool for your everyday needs. h3|Make Service the Centerpiece of Business Growth with IFS h4|Capital & Industrial Equipment High-Tech & Office Equipment IT Infrastructure & Professional Services Property & Commercial Services Retail Telecommunications Transmission & Distribution Transportation & Logistics sp|Toggle navigation Why IFS Cloud?

IFS Cloud comes with innovation embedded for real-life industry scenarios. But we understand that as a customer you might want to add and connect your own innovations as well. Which is why it’s built for openness too, so you can take things further—connecting your own innovations, applications and processes to the data and functionality within IFS Cloud. By providing the openness and APIs you need, IFS Cloud lets you innovate more easily and achieve digital transformation faster. In an increasingly connected and automated world, complete API coverage is vital. Whether it’s integrating data and processes between different applications, extending your application on the outside, or automating activities, APIs are key. IFS Cloud includes a complete set of open APIs, covering all data and every process. The platform exposes these as OData RESTful APIs, complete with OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) specifications. In addition, our platform provides useful tools such as the built-in API Explorer that lets developers search for APIs, review API documentation, and configure API access. To create integration and automation—whether within an application or across applications—the business event initiating the process flow must be captured. IFS Cloud comes with a range of useful pre-defined business events, and you can configure your own events—to use for performing simple actions (e.g. send an e-mail) or initiating integration and automation flows. You can configure events to fire on any entity creation, data change, state change, or from actions performed by users that don’t result in a data change. Our platform has built-in capabilities for direct API access and process automation, along with message queueing and routing through IFS Connect. But you can also orchestrate more complex integration scenarios through external integration platforms. Our partnership with—and pre-built connectors for—Boomi iPaaS is a strong example of this. And thanks to the full coverage of open APIs, IFS Cloud works comfortably with most integration platforms. Choose whether to run IFS Cloud in our cloud service, or operate the application software in a different way, including on-premise. You can select from three different deployment models, and thanks to our containerized architecture, receive the same IFS Cloud software for each one. What’s more, our platform lets you move from one model to another, should business requirements or legislation change. We provide IFS Cloud as a service to you from our cloud—connect to the service, and we take care of the rest. We supply a pre-packaged “virtual appliance” with IFS Cloud software, which you operate together with the main database, on supported platform software, with choice of data residency. We provide the various software artifacts (e.g. containers, database scripts) that make up IFS Cloud to you, so you can install and operate it yourself, with choice of data residency. As part of our overall customer experience, IFS Lifecycle Experience provides the elements you need to manage your IFS Cloud solution through its entire application lifecycle—from initial development, through years of usage and updates, to new releases. You are in control, inviting IFS or IFS partners to perform work on your solution. Your self-service entry to manage your solution. The lifecycle experience portal lets you create your build place, apply service updates and releases, and much more. Contains everything you need to build your solution. The build place lets you access IFS Cloud releases and service updates and contains the solution repository, which stores any tailoring or extension development. The build place also provides DEV and QA environments along with automated build pipelines that perform continuous integration and delivery. Provides you with development tools, documentation, and automated tool updates. By using a people-centric design, we tap into the experience and knowledge your teams already have of using consumer software, apps, and services. It means that people who know the business don’t need to spend time learning the application. IFS Aurena is the main user experience for IFS Cloud. Using progressive and responsive web technologies, our intuitive, browser-based interface runs comfortably on any device: from mobile and tablet to multi-screen desktop. Pages adapt automatically to the screen size and type of device used. The browser-based experience is complemented with offline-capable apps built on IFS Aurena Native—our cross platform mobile capability that delivers apps across Android, iOS and Windows devices. IFS Aurena Native apps and IFS Aurena itself can be configured to reflect your brand, colors, and logos. Both IFS Aurena and IFS Aurena Native apps feature built-in augmented reality capabilities that provide remote assistance, for example to field workers. The capabilities augment live video chat, letting you point-and-show, draw and more on the live feed. Through messaging channels like Microsoft Teams and IFS Aurena itself, IFS Aurena Bot lets you complete specific tasks in a conversational way—using natural language, text or voice. Sometimes the best experience is the one provided from within another application, while still accessing data and functionality in IFS Cloud. Our platform offers add-in experiences, like the IFS CRM add-in for Microsoft Outlook and IFS Business Reporter add-in for Microsoft Excel. Regardless of how you access IFS Cloud, authentication and single-sign-on is performed using OpenID Connect and your choice of identity provider, including Azure AD, Okta, PingIdentity and more. Access to APIs, from clients that can’t present a sign-in UI, can be achieved using oAuth2. As well as broad and deep out-of-the-box capabilities, our solutions offer extensive scope for tailoring. For example, IFS Cloud lets you tailor the user interface and process automation so you can optimize it for your business and ways of working. We recognize the most accessible way to tailor is through configuration, and we support this with intuitive ‘designers’ rather than developer-focused environments that require highly specialist skills. Along with these, the IFS Cloud platform is built from the ground up to help you connect to other external software, data and platforms, or perform more traditional customization using our developer tools. Presenting the right information and options to users is one of the most powerful ways to make work more effective, efficient, and fun. With our Lobby Designer, you can configure exactly what information is shown at-a-glance to users. The Page Designer lets you add, move, hide and rearrange UI elements on pages to fit exactly how you work. Reduce manual work and automate business processes with the built-in Workflow Designer. With simple drag-and-drop configuration, you can pick up on any business event and automate additional tasks—calling on our APIs, user input, machine learning and external systems. Extend IFS Cloud’s data model through configuration: add new attributes, new relationships, and even entirely new entities. Place added attributes as fields on pages, in report layouts, and expose them through our APIs. Access IFS Cloud from within other applications, like Office365. Build new experiences using low-code tools, such as PowerApps and OutSystems. Develop a custom front end. Configure “punch-out” links and commands in the user interface, and much more. All these scenarios are not just possible, but easy and straightforward, thanks to our standards-based RESTful APIs and our API Explorer. In addition to our extensive configuration capabilities, which will handle most of your tailoring needs, you can make code level extensions in IFS Developer Studio. Such additions and extensions are kept in a separate code layer to minimize the impact of carrying them forward across future updates to IFS Cloud. Integrating new technologies so they bring value to real-world business and processes is a challenge, which is why we are providing advanced AI, automation, and optimization capabilities as services within our platform. That way, we can leverage them across the IFS Cloud solution in a way that becomes practical and affordable for our customers. Optimization involves complex situations with many variables and constraints. For example, the challenge in field service is to determine who should go where and do what when. With just 100 jobs done by 20 people, there are 10179 possible plans and continuously changing circumstances as the day progresses, so optimization needs to involve more than just brute force searching. Our world-leading scheduling optimization engine solves such dynamically-changing problems using a combination of local search, clustering, what-if simulation, and simulated annealing. The hierarchy of algorithms includes evolutionary computing techniques such as genetic algorithms. In addition, our scheduling engine uses AI to automate the process of algorithm selection, tuning and exploring the algorithm parameters to choose the best combination of algorithms for a given problem. Since machine learning (ML) allows systems to learn and adjust their actions without human assistance, it’s an important capability to serve defined business processes as well as intelligent process automation. Our machine learning service provides a complete ML pipeline that automates data preparation, training and deployment, removing the work typically done by a data scientist. The result is that the value of machine learning can be realized by business users as well as embodied in out-of-the-box automation bundles such as sales opportunity qualification. The ML service supports both pre-trained (e.g. by us, using available industry data) as well as bespoke models (e.g. opportunity qualification) where the machine learning model is trained, tuned and validated on your own data in order to capture the complexities and nuances of decisions unique to your business. Automating business processes reduces manual work and often leads to increased quality through consistent and timely execution of these processes. Our platform enables BPA through the use of events to initiate automation and with our Workflow Designer to configure the automation flow. Automation can be initiated from pre-defined events, the event of any status or change to any object, or from action events when users do something—regardless of whether that results in a data change. Analytics to provide awareness and decision-making support needs to be available when and where people work. For many it’s about having that at-a-glance awareness in the context of their daily tasks. For others it’s about line of business reporting or slicing and dicing years’ worth of data to explore insights. And for all: it’s about having easy access to information and smart ways to visualize, analyze, report and present it. Lobbies can be tailored to individual needs, providing you with an at-a-glance view of the information and actions that matter most to your role. As an add-in to Microsoft Excel, IFS Business Reporter is the perfect tool for business reporting and, thanks to write-back support, it’s ideal for business planning. Design reports using all your favorite Excel features, run them against live data, write back changes (to a budget forecast, for example), knowing your data will always be kept safe and under control in IFS Cloud. Benefit from our ready-to use in-memory analysis models, each containing the measures and dimensions you need to analyze decades of data. Tailor existing models or create entirely new ones. And since our analysis models are implemented as tabular models, you can use virtually any reporting or analytics front end you want. Tap into PowerBI’s full power and vibrant eco-system to design reports against our Analysis Models, or directly against live data. Embed PowerBI reports directly in the IFS Aurena user experience, with the ability to drill through from report elements to pages in IFS Cloud for further details and analysis. Design and print operational reports such as order confirmations, invoices, and labels. Our operational printing tools and engine support pixel perfect layouts, barcodes, PDF creation, and detailed control of printer settings.

Here we apply the latest thinking around consumer technologies, digital trends and innovative solutions across a range of industries to our products and software solutions. The mission for IFS Labs is to create customer value and inspiration by formulating, incubating and evangelizing new use cases and solutions with the objective to accelerate product innovation. It’s all about delivering innovation at the right time, in the right wat, considering applicability for our target industries and customers. To IFS, the capability to think freely, build on inspiration from wider trends and innovations, and work in a more exploratory way without fixed requirements or deadlines is a vital part of the innovation process. For our customers, it is part of ensuring we provide great enterprise software solutions today and into the future. IFS Labs operates under a license to fail. Not all innovative solutions will make it into the product. Some may not even make it through the first months. But as Edward Land once said: “An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.” The mission of IFS Labs is to drive innovation and new technology incubation. Some examples of the success of IFS Labs can be found here: Digital Twins are virtual representations of physical assets. Most people use the Digital Twin in the context of IoT, but a Digital Twin is much more. To achieve the end-state of Digital Twin, many different features and use cases are needed. IFS Labs is collaborating with the rest of the RnD organization in order to bring the right features and use cases into the product, in the right order, at the right time. What’s the business application of wearable technology? Very simple - you can interact with your IFS business software whenever and wherever you are. There is no need to use your laptop, tablet or even your phone. Combine it with augmented reality and you can have the information anywhere, anytime, interacting with the real world. IFS Labs is continuously monitoring new developments in the wearable market. Most actively we’re working on solutions for smart glasses or other head mounted devices that will let users superimpose business data retrieved from IFS products in the real world using augmented reality. Imagine field service technicians using smart glasses to view pertinent onsite assignment data as a virtual overlay. Collaborating with leading tech providers like Microsoft and Zebra, IFS Labs is exploring how to maximize the business application of augmented and mixed reality. Recently IFS has announced the IFS Aurena Bot, a simple yet effective chat bot that lets you interact with IFS Applications to perform simple but effective dialogues such as “Call in sick” or “Update a CRM activity.” But what’s next? Why do people perceive chat bots, or other forms of conversational user interfacing as “intelligent”? At the same time something like general intelligence doesn’t exist yet. At IFS Labs we believe that by providing the bot with enough capability, including machine learning algorithms, data and context, a chat bot can be perceived as intelligent and provide the user with an increased user experience and value. Therefore, IFS Labs continues to investigate what’s next for conversational user experience. Much has been written about artificial intelligence (AI). It is and has been part of regular software development within IFS for many years. For example, IFS Planning and Scheduling Optimization has been using AI capabilities like neural networks for the past 12 years to create the optimal schedule for field workers. AI could provide a lot of possibilities for business software that we haven’t thought about. IFS Labs is researching and prototyping many different use cases to identify opportunities to improve or add features to our products. IFS Labs operates under a license to fail.

After running a successful incubation project through 2019, followed by a regular development project in 2020, embedded remote assistance capability inside IFS products is now a fact. In 2015, IFS Labs showcased the first version of the chatbot's artificial intelligence capabilities inside IFS Applications. Many iterations and technology try-outs later, the 2019 release of IFS Aurena Bot is a fact. Surfacing both inside IFS Aurena and in third-party channels like MS Teams, it provides the user with a new conversational user interface to improve user experience. This Internet Of Things application started out as a proof-of-concept project with the urban transport operator, Sporveien, in Oslo, Norway, whose trains are equipped with sensors capturing large amounts of data about their service needs, enabling flexible, predictive maintenance, lower costs and ultimately more trains running.

Here we apply the latest thinking around consumer technologies, digital trends and innovative solutions across a range of industries to our products and software solutions. The mission for IFS Labs is to create customer value and inspiration by formulating, incubating and evangelizing new use cases and solutions with the objective to accelerate product innovation. It’s all about delivering innovation at the right time, in the right wat, considering applicability for our target industries and customers. To IFS, the capability to think freely, build on inspiration from wider trends and innovations, and work in a more exploratory way without fixed requirements or deadlines is a vital part of the innovation process. For our customers, it is part of ensuring we provide great enterprise software solutions today and into the future. IFS Labs operates under a license to fail. Not all innovative solutions will make it into the product. Some may not even make it through the first months. But as Edward Land once said: “An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.” The mission of IFS Labs is to drive innovation and new technology incubation. Some examples of the success of IFS Labs can be found here: Digital Twins are virtual representations of physical assets. Most people use the Digital Twin in the context of IoT, but a Digital Twin is much more. To achieve the end-state of Digital Twin, many different features and use cases are needed. IFS Labs is collaborating with the rest of the RnD organization in order to bring the right features and use cases into the product, in the right order, at the right time. What’s the business application of wearable technology? Very simple - you can interact with your IFS business software whenever and wherever you are. There is no need to use your laptop, tablet or even your phone. Combine it with augmented reality and you can have the information anywhere, anytime, interacting with the real world. IFS Labs is continuously monitoring new developments in the wearable market. Most actively we’re working on solutions for smart glasses or other head mounted devices that will let users superimpose business data retrieved from IFS products in the real world using augmented reality. Imagine field service technicians using smart glasses to view pertinent onsite assignment data as a virtual overlay. Collaborating with leading tech providers like Microsoft and Zebra, IFS Labs is exploring how to maximize the business application of augmented and mixed reality. Recently IFS has announced the IFS Aurena Bot, a simple yet effective chat bot that lets you interact with IFS Applications to perform simple but effective dialogues such as “Call in sick” or “Update a CRM activity.” But what’s next? Why do people perceive chat bots, or other forms of conversational user interfacing as “intelligent”? At the same time something like general intelligence doesn’t exist yet. At IFS Labs we believe that by providing the bot with enough capability, including machine learning algorithms, data and context, a chat bot can be perceived as intelligent and provide the user with an increased user experience and value. Therefore, IFS Labs continues to investigate what’s next for conversational user experience. Much has been written about artificial intelligence (AI). It is and has been part of regular software development within IFS for many years. For example, IFS Planning and Scheduling Optimization has been using AI capabilities like neural networks for the past 12 years to create the optimal schedule for field workers. AI could provide a lot of possibilities for business software that we haven’t thought about. IFS Labs is researching and prototyping many different use cases to identify opportunities to improve or add features to our products. IFS Labs operates under a license to fail.

The IFS Labs blog is where we share our latest thinking and let you know about the technologies we’re focusing on. The blog is about software technology and innovation from a business perspective, which is the core of what we do within IFS Labs. It also gives you the views and opinions on current events, latest innovation trends, news and technology from the viewpoint of our enterprise software development team. Allinq and IFS Labs join forces to investigate the potential of advanced mixed reality by field-testing an integrated solution, using MS HoloLens smart glasses, to get system information to the eyes of their field service technicians. Partnering with IFS Labs, Cheer Pack turns an idea into reality with a robotic handling system. Completely autonomously orchestrated and optimized by IFS Applications, the solution provides $1.5 million in savings per year and allows Cheer Pack to place staff in higher-skilled positions to better manage labor shortages li|IFS Labs Early 2019 IFS Labs signaled that the technology to perform collaboration video calls had become mature enough for production level roll outs. After running a successful incubation project through 2019, followed by a regular development project in 2020, embedded remote assistance capability inside IFS products is now a fact. In 2015, IFS Labs showcased the first version of the chatbot's artificial intelligence capabilities inside IFS Applications. Many iterations and technology try-outs later, the 2019 release of IFS Aurena Bot is a fact. Surfacing both inside IFS Aurena and in third-party channels like MS Teams, it provides the user with a new conversational user interface to improve user experience. This Internet Of Things application started out as a proof-of-concept project with the urban transport operator, Sporveien, in Oslo, Norway, whose trains are equipped with sensors capturing large amounts of data about their service needs, enabling flexible, predictive maintenance, lower costs and ultimately more trains running. Easy access to relevant data in the context of the twin. In the context of an asset this can certainly contain live data from IoT sensors, but also the data typically found in Enterprise Asset Management, Enterprise Resource Planning, and Service applications - maintenance data, health and safety records, risk and compliance data, procurement data. The possibility to visualize the status of the twin and use the visualization to navigate structures and data. The visualization can be an exploded drawing, a 2D drawing, a 3D model, or even a 4D model, where the fourth dimension is time. The ability to handle the past, present, and future - to view the status, look back and see how things were some time ago, and simulate or extrapolate what might happen moving forward.

For some years IFS has been supporting the association that organizes rock concerts for the charitable cause and has been donating the net proceeds for over eleven years. ROCK gegen KREBS e.V. is a non-profit association that supports the German Cancer Aid Association and other social institutions on a voluntary basis. The Sportwagencharity e.v. is a non-profit association that volunteers for selected projects for seriously ill and disadvantaged children. The Sport Car Charity idea: give the children an unforgettable experience with a co-pilot tour in a super sports car and at the same time collect donations for the selected projects. Since 2014, IFS elves have been giving gifts to children from the Early Intervention of Lebenshilfe e.V. in Erlangen. This department offers children and their families with developmental problems and disabilities early and meaningful help. If possible, the children themselves create their "wish card", which is then hung on the IFS Christmas tree and "picked" and "fulfilled" by the IFS staff. The joy of the children is always enormous. IFS employees help local students with career advice rerepseting about 25 mandays per year. We also support the elderly community by spending time with people at an old age home. The food bank relies on the harvest farm during the summer months to provide fresh produce to those in our communities who need it. During the summer months (May-September), we volunteer at the farm either weeding or harvesting vegetables that get to the agencies and then to the 38,400 people (per month) who need it. IFS help with distribution of 5,000 daily meals to over 50 locations in Singapore together with Willing Hearts. The beneficiaries include the elderly, the disabled, low income families, children from single parent families or otherwise poverty-stricken families, and migrant workers. A global company, which by its definition is a collective of many individuals, has by its sheer size the opportunity to affect the world, be it in a good or bad way. If you have the power to make such an impact, you also have an obligation to act in a responsible way. IFS is determined to make an impact and contribute to make the world a better place, through a handful of global initiatives involved our employees. The IFS Foundation is an initiative to support rural villages in Sri Lanka and to give back to the community through improving the living standards of people in the country-side. Starting in 2019, the project is planned to cover the aspects of health, water and sanitation, education, economy and gender equality, resulting in a self-sustained community. All IFS employees are encouraged to invest one work day a year in supporting a charitable cause of their choice. Guidance in deciding what cause to support is provided through the form of the United Nations’ sustainable development goals, which offer a broad and well-structured way for employees to ensure their efforts make a difference. Using their volunteer day, IFS employees have participated in initiatives such as helping children to read, harvesting vegetables for community kitchens and coaching/career advice workshops for university students. Education is something that can make a real difference. As a large employer, we recognize the benefits that education can provide individuals, families and communities. The IFS Education Program aims to counter low interest in STEM subjects by helping students and young people get enthusiastic about technology, learn new skills, and give them an idea of what it is like to work in IT. Collaborating with more than 80 universities across the globe, we at IFS want to inspire students by providing the necessary resources and especially encourage female students into a career in tech. We work globally to offer scholarships, grants, IT equipment for classroom teaching, as well as practical knowledge through internships and mentorships for graduate students. In 2019, the IFS Education Program was awarded with the International CSR Excellence Award.

Once the food is sorted, it’s distributed to all the local member agencies to help feed the 38,400 people (per month) who rely on it. December is our largest fundraising month were we host a series of events to raise month for the food bank (raffles, 50/50s, bake sales) – just in time for the holidays. li|Corporate Social Responsibility h1|Our Corporate Social Responsibility Efforts h2|THE IFS FOUNDATION THE IFS VOLUNTEER DAY THE IFS EDUCATION PROGRAM h3|Our Global CSR commitment Food sorting for the Ottawa Food Bank Building Afforable Housing with Habitat for Humanity Donating blood Community Harvest Farm Guest lecturing at Shanghai Electric Power University Raising money for MacMillan Cancer Support Partnering with Nottingham University Building bikes for struggling students Building wheelchairs Guest lecturing at local colleges Supporting the Finnish Cancer Foundation Collaboration with 15 universities Graduate Scholarship Program Industrial Placement (Internships) Curriculum development and review Final year undergraduate project facilitation and supervision Conducting Mentoring programmes and industry visits Partnering with University of Moratuwa to promote Innovation and Entrepreneurship Teacher Training programs for School Teachers in IT streams Disaster relief Guest lecturing at Bangkok University Blood donations Sponsoring of international school students Hosting of internships Donation of technical equipment Mentoring interns Accepting interns Guest lecture at local colleges Supporting Juegaterapia Supporting sports organizations Guest lecturing at Ukuqala Future Academy Guest judges at the UIC Business School Guest lecturing at local colleges Free enterprise software for college students Guest lecturing at local colleges Interships Guest lecturing at several universities Working for gender equality with DataTjej Trade Show Equipment donated to Engineering Students Mentoring students at University of St. Thomas Guest lecturing at local colleges Donating to charity Free enterprise software for college students Collaboration with Germany universities Helping orphans Health & fitness awareness camps at parks Hackthon for young kids Investing in youth skills development initiative University Sponsored Maintenance Management Research @ University of Cincinnati University Sponsored Maintenance Management Research @ University of Michigan University Sponsored Maintenance Management Research @ University of Texas Advisory Member for the Digital Marketing Curriculum at Moraine Park Technical College University Sponsored Maintenance Management Research: Marian University University Sponsored Maintenance Management Research: UW-Fond du Lac Teaching at local colleges Paddling for charity- Dragon boat race Supporting Rock against cancer IFS support the Sportwagenchariy Nürnberg since 2015 Giving to childrens charity project Career councelling at universities Volonteering at old age home Community Harvest Farm Willing Hearts Our global CSR programmes Want to hear more?

Independently recognized as the leading software provider, our solutions support Asset-Centric, Consumer-Centric and Product-Centric organizations to challenge for leadership in their markets. The first software solution from IFS was for a nuclear power generation company, that customer is now decommissioning their plant. Irrespective of how power is generated, we provide you with capabilities to manage complex assets and the generation value chain throughout its lifecycle. New standards like 5G mean the telecoms industry needs connected business software that manages many varied challenges to remain efficient. The dispersed asset management of this smart, connected environment becomes more complex. Managing complex network assets, ensuring that asset performance management is optimal, that maintenance meets all the budget and cost objectives of an organization and in the 'last mile' the optimization of service delivery and customer satisfaction is enhanced is a common goal of the IFS solution. IFS software offers a comprehensive enterprise-wide business support for sales and contract management, engineering, project management, document management, asset and service management, supply chain subcontracting – including finance and human capital management for Oil and Gas companies onshore and offshore. The autonomous fleet of vehicles working tirelessly to extract material is not yet upon us. However, as we move towards the connected mine, asset management and IoT influence will increase. Improving asset reliability and performance remains a focus. As automation in ports & terminals increases, the role of EAM is to ensure all physical assets are available, performance is high and there is minimal downtime. IFS Applications and EAM supports enhancements to availability and performance. Plants such as pulp and paper, mills and metal production are typically automated assembly lines; expensive plant and huge investments in infrastructure require excellent maintenance care. Availability, cost control and project execution are the cornerstones of profitability in this asset-intensive industry. In a heavily regulated industry, managing all aspects of the water supply and treatment cycle requires deep functionality and integration with geospatial solutions for network topography visualization. Infrastructure is often being renewed, replaced or extended and that has to be managed through the complete project and asset lifecycle effectively. Assets and projects are at the heart of ensuring fleet availability and infrastructure performance, but with large areas covered, geographical information and linear asset capabilities are needed too.

Like many, we had to adapt as individuals and as a business, but the passion this team has for our customers continued to shine. I am hugely proud of that. I am also really proud to see that a significant part our license revenue has come from new logos, customers who have moved away from their legacy vendor; this combined with our performance in recurring revenue points the performance of a very strong business. 2021 will be a hugely important year for IFS as we launch IFS Cloud on March 10th. Darren Roos Chief Executive Officer IFS Whether a company manufactures medical equipment, operates large energy utilities or manages a complex infrastructure, in the eyes of their customer, success or failure is realized at the moment of service—the moment when it all comes together. Organizations are transforming their businesses around this, and IFS is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this groundswell of opportunity. Our customer base continues to expand as we help more businesses grow, create value and improve delivery quality. IFS is the only vendor that can provide an integrated solution set across the customer’s entire operation. Darren Roos CEO Our focus remains on delivering value to our customers and never before has this mission been more critical to their survival. Our close collaboration with our partners has ensured we remain relevant, which is reflected in our results. Consulting is a function of our partners hitting scale, and taking over the projects. This demonstrates our growth is where we want it to be. Our recent announcement about EQT and TA Associates’ ownership is a real endorsement of our strategy and our enormous potential to continue to capture market share. Darren Roos CEO Despite the economic headwinds presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, license revenue grew 39% compared to Q1 2019. Recurring revenues were also steady as customers depend on their IFS solutions to run their most mission critical business processes. On the back of this strong revenue development in Q1, EBITDA remains stable and is underpinned by ongoing initiatives to improve the IFS cost base. These initiatives support the short-term EBITDA performance while enabling our business to quickly rebound once the global lockdowns are eased. By taking prudent cost-control measures, we are building further resilience into the business, which we believe could see downward pressure through the next two quarters. Our ongoing focus remains fixed on taking precautions not only to protect our staff and community, but to ensure our customers continue to receive the stellar product, service and support they deserve.

IFS Maintenix eLogbook delivers a pilot-driven user experience that supports a connected workforce and pilot engagement model; delivering data accuracy; and improving upon reliability, performance, and quality of the aircraft and its flight schedule. The widespread benefit of next-generation electronic technical logbooks is an increasingly connected workforce. Airlines are striving towards connectivity across their operations, from check-in, in-flight connectivity right down to a connected and fleet-wide maintenance system. IFS Maintenix eLogbook acts a bridge that allows communication with all required stakeholders (maintenance operations control center, mechanics, supervisors, engineers, and pilots) working in unison allowing timely and pertinent information to flow from the flight deck to the hangar in real-time to maximize aircraft turnaround efficiency. Data is used to drive decision-making in all facets of the aviation business. By transforming paper-based and legacy processes into digital ones, IFS Maintenix eLogbook makes transcription and paperwork errors a thing of the past. The integrity of data can be better trusted with the IFS solution, seamlessly transferring fault information logged at the flight deck to IFS Maintenix Operator Edition, eliminating the need to re-key in information into a separate system. IFS Maintenix eLogbook is designed, first and foremost, with the pilot in mind. Like a modern suit, it offers a slim, tailored experience, providing the vital information pilots need to perform their job. In fact, pilots no longer need to physically be on the flight deck to be aware of maintenance issues and what impact they may have on the flight. Additionally, IFS Maintenix eLogbook empowers the pilot to log and note faults, in-flight. Through a purposeful two-way communication loop, IFS Maintenix eLogbook proactively informs maintenance crews and pilots well in advance of boarding the aircraft, of issues that need to be dealt with, providing more time to react. By being forewarned, airlines can significantly minimize the last-minute surprises which contribute to longer aircraft on ground (AOG) scenarios—keeping planes in the air, passengers happy and looking after that bottom line. From a cost-saving perspective, airlines have provided pilots with iPads or tablets to remove as much paper as possible from the flight deck. Delivering the logbook over a tablet transcends the paper-based platform and gives a pilot access to aircraft status anywhere anytime. The power of IFS Maintenix eLogbook is in its enhanced fault forwarding. The fault information is shared in an expedited fashion with the maintenance crew to proactively prepare, perform preliminary analysis, analyze and fix faults faster—thus mitigating costly delays, cancellations, and the dreaded ‘aircraft on ground’ status.

Our platform combines an intuitive user experience that lets you connect and extend using 100% open APIs, with the benefits of machine learning and optimization, reporting, analytics, and process automation throughout IFS Cloud. It’s supported by an application lifecycle experience with a range of tools that help you get the most business value from each specific stage of your implementation. And all this comes with the security and reliability you need to trust IFS Cloud to run your business. Delightful user experiences help your people get more done. Work from any location and device with our browser-based UI, offline-capable apps, office add-ins, chat bots and augmented reality capabilities. Make the solution yours. Configure it with visual designers for user experience and process automation. Use APIs to extend on the outside, or extend in layers with developer tooling. Automate and optimize performance of your business with built-in Machine Learning (ML) and evolutionary computing AI capabilities, leveraged across pre-built and bespoke industry use cases. Awareness and decision-making support for individual tasks, departments, processes, and enterprise strategy. Connect innovations, technology, automation, user channels, and other systems with 100% open APIs, events, and smart partnerships. Run IFS Cloud with confidence in our cloud service, or in a location of your choosing, thanks to a containerized architecture and a choice of deployment models. Fast access to value and full control over your solution, tailoring, and evergreen update cadence. By using a people-centric design, we tap into the experience and knowledge your teams already have of using consumer software, apps, and services. It means that people who know the business don’t need to spend time learning the application. IFS Aurena is the main user experience for IFS Cloud. Using progressive and responsive web technologies, our intuitive, browser-based interface runs comfortably on any device: from mobile and tablet to multi-screen desktop. Pages adapt automatically to the screen size and type of device used. The browser-based experience is complemented with offline-capable apps built on IFS Aurena Native—our cross platform mobile capability that delivers apps across Android, iOS and Windows devices. IFS Aurena Native apps and IFS Aurena itself can be configured to reflect your brand, colors, and logos. Both IFS Aurena and IFS Aurena Native apps feature built-in augmented reality capabilities that provide remote assistance, for example to field workers. The capabilities augment live video chat, letting you point-and-show, draw and more on the live feed. Through messaging channels like Microsoft Teams and IFS Aurena itself, IFS Aurena Bot lets you complete specific tasks in a conversational way—using natural language, text or voice. Sometimes the best experience is the one provided from within another application, while still accessing data and functionality in IFS Cloud. Our platform offers add-in experiences, like the IFS CRM add-in for Microsoft Outlook and IFS Business Reporter add-in for Microsoft Excel. Regardless of how you access IFS Cloud, authentication and single-sign-on is performed using OpenID Connect and your choice of identity provider, including Azure AD, Okta, PingIdentity and more. Access to APIs, from clients that can’t present a sign-in UI, can be achieved using oAuth2. As well as broad and deep out-of-the-box capabilities, our solutions offer extensive scope for tailoring. For example, IFS Cloud lets you tailor the user interface and process automation so you can optimize it for your business and ways of working. We recognize the most accessible way to tailor is through configuration, and we support this with intuitive ‘designers’ rather than developer-focused environments that require highly specialist skills. Along with these, the IFS Cloud platform is built from the ground up to help you connect to other external software, data and platforms, or perform more traditional customization using our developer tools. Presenting the right information and options to users is one of the most powerful ways to make work more effective, efficient, and fun. With our Lobby Designer, you can configure exactly what information is shown at-a-glance to users. The Page Designer lets you add, move, hide and rearrange UI elements on pages to fit exactly how you work. Reduce manual work and automate business processes with the built-in Workflow Designer. With simple drag-and-drop configuration, you can pick up on any business event and automate additional tasks—calling on our APIs, user input, machine learning and external systems. Extend IFS Cloud’s data model through configuration: add new attributes, new relationships, and even entirely new entities. Place added attributes as fields on pages, in report layouts, and expose them through our APIs. Access IFS Cloud from within other applications, like Office365. Build new experiences using low-code tools, such as PowerApps and OutSystems. Develop a custom front end. Configure “punch-out” links and commands in the user interface, and much more. All these scenarios are not just possible, but easy and straightforward, thanks to our standards-based RESTful APIs and our API Explorer. In addition to our extensive configuration capabilities, which will handle most of your tailoring needs, you can make code level extensions in IFS Developer Studio. Such additions and extensions are kept in a separate code layer to minimize the impact of carrying them forward across future updates to IFS Cloud. Integrating new technologies so they bring value to real-world business and processes is a challenge, which is why we are providing advanced AI, automation, and optimization capabilities as services within our platform. That way, we can leverage them across the IFS Cloud solution in a way that becomes practical and affordable for our customers. Optimization involves complex situations with many variables and constraints. For example, the challenge in field service is to determine who should go where and do what when. With just 100 jobs done by 20 people, there are 10179 possible plans and continuously changing circumstances as the day progresses, so optimization needs to involve more than just brute force searching. Our world-leading scheduling optimization engine solves such dynamically-changing problems using a combination of local search, clustering, what-if simulation, and simulated annealing. The hierarchy of algorithms includes evolutionary computing techniques such as genetic algorithms. In addition, our scheduling engine uses AI to automate the process of algorithm selection, tuning and exploring the algorithm parameters to choose the best combination of algorithms for a given problem. Since machine learning (ML) allows systems to learn and adjust their actions without human assistance, it’s an important capability to serve defined business processes as well as intelligent process automation. Our machine learning service provides a complete ML pipeline that automates data preparation, training and deployment, removing the work typically done by a data scientist. The result is that the value of machine learning can be realized by business users as well as embodied in out-of-the-box automation bundles such as sales opportunity qualification. The ML service supports both pre-trained (e.g. by us, using available industry data) as well as bespoke models (e.g. opportunity qualification) where the machine learning model is trained, tuned and validated on your own data in order to capture the complexities and nuances of decisions unique to your business. Automating business processes reduces manual work and often leads to increased quality through consistent and timely execution of these processes. Our platform enables BPA through the use of events to initiate automation and with our Workflow Designer to configure the automation flow. Automation can be initiated from pre-defined events, the event of any status or change to any object, or from action events when users do something—regardless of whether that results in a data change. Analytics to provide awareness and decision-making support needs to be available when and where people work. For many it’s about having that at-a-glance awareness in the context of their daily tasks. For others it’s about line of business reporting or slicing and dicing years’ worth of data to explore insights. And for all: it’s about having easy access to information and smart ways to visualize, analyze, report and present it. Lobbies can be tailored to individual needs, providing you with an at-a-glance view of the information and actions that matter most to your role. As an add-in to Microsoft Excel, IFS Business Reporter is the perfect tool for business reporting and, thanks to write-back support, it’s ideal for business planning. Design reports using all your favorite Excel features, run them against live data, write back changes (to a budget forecast, for example), knowing your data will always be kept safe and under control in IFS Cloud. Benefit from our ready-to use in-memory analysis models, each containing the measures and dimensions you need to analyze decades of data. Tailor existing models or create entirely new ones. And since our analysis models are implemented as tabular models, you can use virtually any reporting or analytics front end you want. Tap into PowerBI’s full power and vibrant eco-system to design reports against our Analysis Models, or directly against live data. Embed PowerBI reports directly in the IFS Aurena user experience, with the ability to drill through from report elements to pages in IFS Cloud for further details and analysis. Design and print operational reports such as order confirmations, invoices, and labels. Our operational printing tools and engine support pixel perfect layouts, barcodes, PDF creation, and detailed control of printer settings. IFS Cloud comes with innovation embedded for real-life industry scenarios. But we understand that as a customer you might want to add and connect your own innovations as well. Which is why it’s built for openness too, so you can take things further—connecting your own innovations, applications and processes to the data and functionality within IFS Cloud. By providing the openness and APIs you need, IFS Cloud lets you innovate more easily and achieve digital transformation faster. In an increasingly connected and automated world, complete API coverage is vital. Whether it’s integrating data and processes between different applications, extending your application on the outside, or automating activities, APIs are key. IFS Cloud includes a complete set of open APIs, covering all data and every process. The platform exposes these as OData RESTful APIs, complete with OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) specifications. In addition, our platform provides useful tools such as the built-in API Explorer that lets developers search for APIs, review API documentation, and configure API access. To create integration and automation—whether within an application or across applications—the business event initiating the process flow must be captured. IFS Cloud comes with a range of useful pre-defined business events, and you can configure your own events—to use for performing simple actions (e.g. send an e-mail) or initiating integration and automation flows. You can configure events to fire on any entity creation, data change, state change, or from actions performed by users that don’t result in a data change. Our platform has built-in capabilities for direct API access and process automation, along with message queueing and routing through IFS Connect. But you can also orchestrate more complex integration scenarios through external integration platforms. Our partnership with—and pre-built connectors for—Boomi iPaaS is a strong example of this. And thanks to the full coverage of open APIs, IFS Cloud works comfortably with most integration platforms. Choose whether to run IFS Cloud in our cloud service, or operate the application software in a different way, including on-premise. You can select from three different deployment models, and thanks to our containerized architecture, receive the same IFS Cloud software for each one. What’s more, our platform lets you move from one model to another, should business requirements or legislation change. We provide IFS Cloud as a service to you from our cloud—connect to the service, and we take care of the rest. We supply a pre-packaged “virtual appliance” with IFS Cloud software, which you operate together with the main database, on supported platform software, with choice of data residency. We provide the various software artifacts (e.g. containers, database scripts) that make up IFS Cloud to you, so you can install and operate it yourself, with choice of data residency. As part of our overall customer experience, IFS Lifecycle Experience provides the elements you need to manage your IFS Cloud solution through its entire application lifecycle—from initial development, through years of usage and updates, to new releases. You are in control, inviting IFS or IFS partners to perform work on your solution. Your self-service entry to manage your solution. The lifecycle experience portal lets you create your build place, apply service updates and releases, and much more. Contains everything you need to build your solution. The build place lets you access IFS Cloud releases and service updates and contains the solution repository, which stores any tailoring or extension development. The build place also provides DEV and QA environments along with automated build pipelines that perform continuous integration and delivery. Provides you with development tools, documentation, and automated tool updates. By using a people-centric design, we tap into the experience and knowledge your teams already have of using consumer software, apps, and services. It means that people who know the business don’t need to spend time learning the application. IFS Aurena is the main user experience for IFS Cloud.

Tap into PowerBI’s full power and vibrant eco-system to design reports against our Analysis Models, or directly against live data. Embed PowerBI reports directly in the IFS Aurena user experience, with the ability to drill through from report elements to pages in IFS Cloud for further details and analysis. Design and print operational reports such as order confirmations, invoices, and labels. Our operational printing tools and engine support pixel perfect layouts, barcodes, PDF creation, and detailed control of printer settings. IFS Cloud comes with innovation embedded for real-life industry scenarios. But we understand that as a customer you might want to add and connect your own innovations as well. Which is why it’s built for openness too, so you can take things further—connecting your own innovations, applications and processes to the data and functionality within IFS Cloud. By providing the openness and APIs you need, IFS Cloud lets you innovate more easily and achieve digital transformation faster. In an increasingly connected and automated world, complete API coverage is vital. Whether it’s integrating data and processes between different applications, extending your application on the outside, or automating activities, APIs are key. IFS Cloud includes a complete set of open APIs, covering all data and every process. The platform exposes these as OData RESTful APIs, complete with OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) specifications. In addition, our platform provides useful tools such as the built-in API Explorer that lets developers search for APIs, review API documentation, and configure API access. To create integration and automation—whether within an application or across applications—the business event initiating the process flow must be captured. IFS Cloud comes with a range of useful pre-defined business events, and you can configure your own events—to use for performing simple actions (e.g. send an e-mail) or initiating integration and automation flows. You can configure events to fire on any entity creation, data change, state change, or from actions performed by users that don’t result in a data change. Our platform has built-in capabilities for direct API access and process automation, along with message queueing and routing through IFS Connect. But you can also orchestrate more complex integration scenarios through external integration platforms. Our partnership with—and pre-built connectors for—Boomi iPaaS is a strong example of this. And thanks to the full coverage of open APIs, IFS Cloud works comfortably with most integration platforms. Choose whether to run IFS Cloud in our cloud service, or operate the application software in a different way, including on-premise. You can select from three different deployment models, and thanks to our containerized architecture, receive the same IFS Cloud software for each one. What’s more, our platform lets you move from one model to another, should business requirements or legislation change. We provide IFS Cloud as a service to you from our cloud—connect to the service, and we take care of the rest. We supply a pre-packaged “virtual appliance” with IFS Cloud software, which you operate together with the main database, on supported platform software, with choice of data residency. We provide the various software artifacts (e.g. containers, database scripts) that make up IFS Cloud to you, so you can install and operate it yourself, with choice of data residency. As part of our overall customer experience, IFS Lifecycle Experience provides the elements you need to manage your IFS Cloud solution through its entire application lifecycle—from initial development, through years of usage and updates, to new releases. You are in control, inviting IFS or IFS partners to perform work on your solution. Your self-service entry to manage your solution. The lifecycle experience portal lets you create your build place, apply service updates and releases, and much more. Contains everything you need to build your solution. The build place lets you access IFS Cloud releases and service updates and contains the solution repository, which stores any tailoring or extension development. The build place also provides DEV and QA environments along with automated build pipelines that perform continuous integration and delivery. Provides you with development tools, documentation, and automated tool updates. From underlying intelligence that automates the prioritization and acceptance of sales leads, to automated functionality and augmented reality capabilities that maximize first time fix rates in the field, IFS Cloud is here to help you make optimal decisions for your business.

Service software has become more important than ever with the trend of growing customer expectations and increased competition, which has led to a shift among service organizations. Forward-thinking companies now strive for excellence through optimization, and firms are laying the groundwork for tomorrow’s challenges by focusing on utilities like cross-organization integration, outcomes-based contracts, and zero-touch service in order to maintain a competitive edge. This speaks to a growing imperative among all service firms to build a digital-first organization, focus on process improvements, workforce excellence, and passing those time and value savings onto their customers. IFS give you the tools that you need to supercharge those initiatives with our service industry solutions. With IFS, you have a service partner that offers unparalleled breadth and depth, allowing you to accelerate your output and dynamically enhance your business, while making no compromises to the way that you go to market. IFS stands alone in the service industry in its ability to provide the whole picture of your service business, from the asset, through the execution. With IFS, you get a partner with the in-depth knowledge of the service industry software needed for you to challenge the boundaries of service excellence. There are a lot of exciting technology advancements changing the service landscape for capital and industrial equipment. On one hand, large serviceable assets are continuing to increase in complexity, which makes repair and maintenance a sometimes-daunting task. On the other hand, new technologies and advancements, when wielded properly, can turn that complexity into an asset for an organization, allowing opportunities for remote resolution, predictive service, and significantly less downtime. Come see how IFS has built a solution to support you in those goals. Between a diverse and inconsistent set of serviceable assets, and an ever-growing level of complexity, maximizing service efficiency and managing downtime for high-tech and office equipment managers is more important than ever. Partner this with an increasing web of security concerns, regulatory issues, and corporate policies, and resolution is almost never as easy as it should be. To tackle these challenges, you need to find a service partner who can support the unique complexity of your service practice. IFS is ready to support your end-to-end service needs. For professional service providers, the needs of service excellence extend far beyond the technician and the customer. While some service management solutions can help optimize some service operations and not others, IFS is independently recognized for not just the depth, but also the breadth of its service solution. With FSM, you can feel confident that you will never need to compromise on integrating your processes, thus increasing uptime, saving operationally, and getting access the holistic data that can help your business move to the next level. Leading property and commercial services businesses understand that when issues arise, they need to be ready to address them expediently, and effectively. These solutions come from a dense network of in-house, contracted, and contingent labor sources, all of which need to be centrally managed. Whether it be a residential, retail, or industrial space, organizations need a service management platform with a scope of solutions that are tailored to their specific business. IFS takes that complexity and makes it an asset. Come see how. Retail is changing. With more choices than ever, customers are demanding standout experience from their shopping experiences, both when they purchase a product, and for the long-term. Forward-thinking retail enterprises understand that getting after-sales service right offers them an engine for new product offerings, and a way to engage with customers well beyond the sale. With IFS, Retail Professionals have a partner that can help them challenge the boundaries of traditional retail, and set them up for long-term success. New standards like 5G mean the telecoms industry needs connected business software that manages many varied challenges to remain efficient. The dispersed asset management of this smart, connected environment becomes more complex. Managing complex network assets, ensuring that asset performance management is optimal, that maintenance meets all the budget and cost objectives of an organization and in the 'last mile' the optimization of service delivery and customer satisfaction is enhanced is a common goal of the IFS solution. Trucking, logistics, and transportation companies have more tools that even to track, organize, and manage their fleet operations. With that comes increased customer expectations around the speed, accuracy, and transparency of operations and product delivery. With IFS, organizations have a partner that will help them seamlessly combine insights and analytics from the many systems at their disposal, and additionally offer them the tools to perform fleet management, parts management, and reverse logistics better than ever before li|Service Industries h1|Service Industry Software h2|IFS places heavy emphasis on our software solutions for the service industry, creating a valuable tool for your everyday needs. h3|Make Service the Centerpiece of Business Growth with IFS h4|Capital & Industrial Equipment High-Tech & Office Equipment IT Infrastructure & Professional Services Property & Commercial Services Retail Telecommunications Transmission & Distribution Transportation & Logistics sp|Toggle navigation Why IFS Cloud?

One of the ways we drive innovation and new technology incubation is through IFS Labs. Here we apply the latest thinking around consumer technologies, digital trends and innovative solutions across a range of industries to our products and software solutions. The mission for IFS Labs is to create customer value and inspiration by formulating, incubating and evangelizing new use cases and solutions with the objective to accelerate product innovation. It’s all about delivering innovation at the right time, in the right wat, considering applicability for our target industries and customers. To IFS, the capability to think freely, build on inspiration from wider trends and innovations, and work in a more exploratory way without fixed requirements or deadlines is a vital part of the innovation process. For our customers, it is part of ensuring we provide great enterprise software solutions today and into the future. IFS Labs operates under a license to fail. Not all innovative solutions will make it into the product. Some may not even make it through the first months. But as Edward Land once said: “An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.” The mission of IFS Labs is to drive innovation and new technology incubation. Some examples of the success of IFS Labs can be found here: Digital Twins are virtual representations of physical assets. Most people use the Digital Twin in the context of IoT, but a Digital Twin is much more. To achieve the end-state of Digital Twin, many different features and use cases are needed. IFS Labs is collaborating with the rest of the RnD organization in order to bring the right features and use cases into the product, in the right order, at the right time. What’s the business application of wearable technology? Very simple - you can interact with your IFS business software whenever and wherever you are. There is no need to use your laptop, tablet or even your phone. Combine it with augmented reality and you can have the information anywhere, anytime, interacting with the real world. IFS Labs is continuously monitoring new developments in the wearable market. Most actively we’re working on solutions for smart glasses or other head mounted devices that will let users superimpose business data retrieved from IFS products in the real world using augmented reality. Imagine field service technicians using smart glasses to view pertinent onsite assignment data as a virtual overlay. Collaborating with leading tech providers like Microsoft and Zebra, IFS Labs is exploring how to maximize the business application of augmented and mixed reality. Recently IFS has announced the IFS Aurena Bot, a simple yet effective chat bot that lets you interact with IFS Applications to perform simple but effective dialogues such as “Call in sick” or “Update a CRM activity.” But what’s next? Why do people perceive chat bots, or other forms of conversational user interfacing as “intelligent”? At the same time something like general intelligence doesn’t exist yet. At IFS Labs we believe that by providing the bot with enough capability, including machine learning algorithms, data and context, a chat bot can be perceived as intelligent and provide the user with an increased user experience and value. Therefore, IFS Labs continues to investigate what’s next for conversational user experience. Much has been written about artificial intelligence (AI). It is and has been part of regular software development within IFS for many years. For example, IFS Planning and Scheduling Optimization has been using AI capabilities like neural networks for the past 12 years to create the optimal schedule for field workers. AI could provide a lot of possibilities for business software that we haven’t thought about. IFS Labs is researching and prototyping many different use cases to identify opportunities to improve or add features to our products. IFS Labs operates under a license to fail.

The IFS Labs blog is where we share our latest thinking and let you know about the technologies we’re focusing on. The blog is about software technology and innovation from a business perspective, which is the core of what we do within IFS Labs. It also gives you the views and opinions on current events, latest innovation trends, news and technology from the viewpoint of our enterprise software development team. Allinq and IFS Labs join forces to investigate the potential of advanced mixed reality by field-testing an integrated solution, using MS HoloLens smart glasses, to get system information to the eyes of their field service technicians. Partnering with IFS Labs, Cheer Pack turns an idea into reality with a robotic handling system. Completely autonomously orchestrated and optimized by IFS Applications, the solution provides $1.5 million in savings per year and allows Cheer Pack to place staff in higher-skilled positions to better manage labor shortages li|IFS Labs Early 2019 IFS Labs signaled that the technology to perform collaboration video calls had become mature enough for production level roll outs. After running a successful incubation project through 2019, followed by a regular development project in 2020, embedded remote assistance capability inside IFS products is now a fact. In 2015, IFS Labs showcased the first version of the chatbot's artificial intelligence capabilities inside IFS Applications. Many iterations and technology try-outs later, the 2019 release of IFS Aurena Bot is a fact. Surfacing both inside IFS Aurena and in third-party channels like MS Teams, it provides the user with a new conversational user interface to improve user experience. This Internet Of Things application started out as a proof-of-concept project with the urban transport operator, Sporveien, in Oslo, Norway, whose trains are equipped with sensors capturing large amounts of data about their service needs, enabling flexible, predictive maintenance, lower costs and ultimately more trains running. Easy access to relevant data in the context of the twin. In the context of an asset this can certainly contain live data from IoT sensors, but also the data typically found in Enterprise Asset Management, Enterprise Resource Planning, and Service applications - maintenance data, health and safety records, risk and compliance data, procurement data. The possibility to visualize the status of the twin and use the visualization to navigate structures and data. The visualization can be an exploded drawing, a 2D drawing, a 3D model, or even a 4D model, where the fourth dimension is time. The ability to handle the past, present, and future - to view the status, look back and see how things were some time ago, and simulate or extrapolate what might happen moving forward.

ROCK gegen KREBS e.V. is a non-profit association that supports the German Cancer Aid Association and other social institutions on a voluntary basis. The Sportwagencharity e.v. is a non-profit association that volunteers for selected projects for seriously ill and disadvantaged children. The Sport Car Charity idea: give the children an unforgettable experience with a co-pilot tour in a super sports car and at the same time collect donations for the selected projects. Since 2014, IFS elves have been giving gifts to children from the Early Intervention of Lebenshilfe e.V. in Erlangen. This department offers children and their families with developmental problems and disabilities early and meaningful help. If possible, the children themselves create their "wish card", which is then hung on the IFS Christmas tree and "picked" and "fulfilled" by the IFS staff. The joy of the children is always enormous. IFS employees help local students with career advice rerepseting about 25 mandays per year. We also support the elderly community by spending time with people at an old age home. The food bank relies on the harvest farm during the summer months to provide fresh produce to those in our communities who need it. During the summer months (May-September), we volunteer at the farm either weeding or harvesting vegetables that get to the agencies and then to the 38,400 people (per month) who need it. IFS help with distribution of 5,000 daily meals to over 50 locations in Singapore together with Willing Hearts. The beneficiaries include the elderly, the disabled, low income families, children from single parent families or otherwise poverty-stricken families, and migrant workers. A global company, which by its definition is a collective of many individuals, has by its sheer size the opportunity to affect the world, be it in a good or bad way. If you have the power to make such an impact, you also have an obligation to act in a responsible way. IFS is determined to make an impact and contribute to make the world a better place, through a handful of global initiatives involved our employees. The IFS Foundation is an initiative to support rural villages in Sri Lanka and to give back to the community through improving the living standards of people in the country-side. Starting in 2019, the project is planned to cover the aspects of health, water and sanitation, education, economy and gender equality, resulting in a self-sustained community. All IFS employees are encouraged to invest one work day a year in supporting a charitable cause of their choice. Guidance in deciding what cause to support is provided through the form of the United Nations’ sustainable development goals, which offer a broad and well-structured way for employees to ensure their efforts make a difference. Using their volunteer day, IFS employees have participated in initiatives such as helping children to read, harvesting vegetables for community kitchens and coaching/career advice workshops for university students. Education is something that can make a real difference. As a large employer, we recognize the benefits that education can provide individuals, families and communities. The IFS Education Program aims to counter low interest in STEM subjects by helping students and young people get enthusiastic about technology, learn new skills, and give them an idea of what it is like to work in IT. Collaborating with more than 80 universities across the globe, we at IFS want to inspire students by providing the necessary resources and especially encourage female students into a career in tech. We work globally to offer scholarships, grants, IT equipment for classroom teaching, as well as practical knowledge through internships and mentorships for graduate students. In 2019, the IFS Education Program was awarded with the International CSR Excellence Award.

Our contact form and local phone numbers can be found on the Contact Us page On a monthly basis, we sort food that is collected from grocery stores and brought to the Food Bank warehouse. Once the food is sorted, it’s distributed to all the local member agencies to help feed the 38,400 people (per month) who rely on it. December is our largest fundraising month were we host a series of events to raise month for the food bank (raffles, 50/50s, bake sales) – just in time for the holidays. li|Corporate Social Responsibility h1|Our Corporate Social Responsibility Efforts h2|THE IFS FOUNDATION THE IFS VOLUNTEER DAY THE IFS EDUCATION PROGRAM h3|Our Global CSR commitment Food sorting for the Ottawa Food Bank Building Afforable Housing with Habitat for Humanity Donating blood Community Harvest Farm Guest lecturing at Shanghai Electric Power University Raising money for MacMillan Cancer Support Partnering with Nottingham University Building bikes for struggling students Building wheelchairs Guest lecturing at local colleges Supporting the Finnish Cancer Foundation Collaboration with 15 universities Graduate Scholarship Program Industrial Placement (Internships) Curriculum development and review Final year undergraduate project facilitation and supervision Conducting Mentoring programmes and industry visits Partnering with University of Moratuwa to promote Innovation and Entrepreneurship Teacher Training programs for School Teachers in IT streams Disaster relief Guest lecturing at Bangkok University Blood donations Sponsoring of international school students Hosting of internships Donation of technical equipment Mentoring interns Accepting interns Guest lecture at local colleges Supporting Juegaterapia Supporting sports organizations Guest lecturing at Ukuqala Future Academy Guest judges at the UIC Business School Guest lecturing at local colleges Free enterprise software for college students Guest lecturing at local colleges Interships Guest lecturing at several universities Working for gender equality with DataTjej Trade Show Equipment donated to Engineering Students Mentoring students at University of St. Thomas Guest lecturing at local colleges Donating to charity Free enterprise software for college students Collaboration with Germany universities Helping orphans Health & fitness awareness camps at parks Hackthon for young kids Investing in youth skills development initiative University Sponsored Maintenance Management Research @ University of Cincinnati University Sponsored Maintenance Management Research @ University of Michigan University Sponsored Maintenance Management Research @ University of Texas Advisory Member for the Digital Marketing Curriculum at Moraine Park Technical College University Sponsored Maintenance Management Research: Marian University University Sponsored Maintenance Management Research: UW-Fond du Lac Teaching at local colleges Paddling for charity- Dragon boat race Supporting Rock against cancer IFS support the Sportwagenchariy Nürnberg since 2015 Giving to childrens charity project Career councelling at universities Volonteering at old age home Community Harvest Farm Willing Hearts Our global CSR programmes Want to hear more?

I think that every CEO will have been affected one way or another by 2020. Like many, we had to adapt as individuals and as a business, but the passion this team has for our customers continued to shine. I am hugely proud of that. I am also really proud to see that a significant part our license revenue has come from new logos, customers who have moved away from their legacy vendor; this combined with our performance in recurring revenue points the performance of a very strong business. 2021 will be a hugely important year for IFS as we launch IFS Cloud on March 10th. Darren Roos Chief Executive Officer IFS Whether a company manufactures medical equipment, operates large energy utilities or manages a complex infrastructure, in the eyes of their customer, success or failure is realized at the moment of service—the moment when it all comes together. Organizations are transforming their businesses around this, and IFS is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this groundswell of opportunity. Our customer base continues to expand as we help more businesses grow, create value and improve delivery quality. IFS is the only vendor that can provide an integrated solution set across the customer’s entire operation. Darren Roos CEO Our focus remains on delivering value to our customers and never before has this mission been more critical to their survival. Our close collaboration with our partners has ensured we remain relevant, which is reflected in our results. Consulting is a function of our partners hitting scale, and taking over the projects. This demonstrates our growth is where we want it to be. Our recent announcement about EQT and TA Associates’ ownership is a real endorsement of our strategy and our enormous potential to continue to capture market share. Darren Roos CEO Despite the economic headwinds presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, license revenue grew 39% compared to Q1 2019. Recurring revenues were also steady as customers depend on their IFS solutions to run their most mission critical business processes. On the back of this strong revenue development in Q1, EBITDA remains stable and is underpinned by ongoing initiatives to improve the IFS cost base. These initiatives support the short-term EBITDA performance while enabling our business to quickly rebound once the global lockdowns are eased. By taking prudent cost-control measures, we are building further resilience into the business, which we believe could see downward pressure through the next two quarters. Our ongoing focus remains fixed on taking precautions not only to protect our staff and community, but to ensure our customers continue to receive the stellar product, service and support they deserve.

IFS Maintenix eLogbook is a next-generation approach to electronic logbooks that delivers an integrated and mobile solution that works with the best-of-breed software for aviation maintenance management. IFS Maintenix eLogbook delivers a pilot-driven user experience that supports a connected workforce and pilot engagement model; delivering data accuracy; and improving upon reliability, performance, and quality of the aircraft and its flight schedule. The widespread benefit of next-generation electronic technical logbooks is an increasingly connected workforce. Airlines are striving towards connectivity across their operations, from check-in, in-flight connectivity right down to a connected and fleet-wide maintenance system. IFS Maintenix eLogbook acts a bridge that allows communication with all required stakeholders (maintenance operations control center, mechanics, supervisors, engineers, and pilots) working in unison allowing timely and pertinent information to flow from the flight deck to the hangar in real-time to maximize aircraft turnaround efficiency. Data is used to drive decision-making in all facets of the aviation business. By transforming paper-based and legacy processes into digital ones, IFS Maintenix eLogbook makes transcription and paperwork errors a thing of the past. The integrity of data can be better trusted with the IFS solution, seamlessly transferring fault information logged at the flight deck to IFS Maintenix Operator Edition, eliminating the need to re-key in information into a separate system. IFS Maintenix eLogbook is designed, first and foremost, with the pilot in mind. Like a modern suit, it offers a slim, tailored experience, providing the vital information pilots need to perform their job. In fact, pilots no longer need to physically be on the flight deck to be aware of maintenance issues and what impact they may have on the flight. Additionally, IFS Maintenix eLogbook empowers the pilot to log and note faults, in-flight. Through a purposeful two-way communication loop, IFS Maintenix eLogbook proactively informs maintenance crews and pilots well in advance of boarding the aircraft, of issues that need to be dealt with, providing more time to react. By being forewarned, airlines can significantly minimize the last-minute surprises which contribute to longer aircraft on ground (AOG) scenarios—keeping planes in the air, passengers happy and looking after that bottom line. From a cost-saving perspective, airlines have provided pilots with iPads or tablets to remove as much paper as possible from the flight deck. Delivering the logbook over a tablet transcends the paper-based platform and gives a pilot access to aircraft status anywhere anytime. The power of IFS Maintenix eLogbook is in its enhanced fault forwarding. The fault information is shared in an expedited fashion with the maintenance crew to proactively prepare, perform preliminary analysis, analyze and fix faults faster—thus mitigating costly delays, cancellations, and the dreaded ‘aircraft on ground’ status.

Forward-thinking companies now strive for excellence through optimization, and firms are laying the groundwork for tomorrow’s challenges by focusing on utilities like cross-organization integration, outcomes-based contracts, and zero-touch service in order to maintain a competitive edge. This speaks to a growing imperative among all service firms to build a digital-first organization, focus on process improvements, workforce excellence, and passing those time and value savings onto their customers. IFS give you the tools that you need to supercharge those initiatives with our service industry solutions. With IFS, you have a service partner that offers unparalleled breadth and depth, allowing you to accelerate your output and dynamically enhance your business, while making no compromises to the way that you go to market. IFS stands alone in the service industry in its ability to provide the whole picture of your service business, from the asset, through the execution. With IFS, you get a partner with the in-depth knowledge of the service industry software needed for you to challenge the boundaries of service excellence. There are a lot of exciting technology advancements changing the service landscape for capital and industrial equipment. On one hand, large serviceable assets are continuing to increase in complexity, which makes repair and maintenance a sometimes-daunting task. On the other hand, new technologies and advancements, when wielded properly, can turn that complexity into an asset for an organization, allowing opportunities for remote resolution, predictive service, and significantly less downtime. Come see how IFS has built a solution to support you in those goals. Between a diverse and inconsistent set of serviceable assets, and an ever-growing level of complexity, maximizing service efficiency and managing downtime for high-tech and office equipment managers is more important than ever. Partner this with an increasing web of security concerns, regulatory issues, and corporate policies, and resolution is almost never as easy as it should be. To tackle these challenges, you need to find a service partner who can support the unique complexity of your service practice. IFS is ready to support your end-to-end service needs. For professional service providers, the needs of service excellence extend far beyond the technician and the customer. While some service management solutions can help optimize some service operations and not others, IFS is independently recognized for not just the depth, but also the breadth of its service solution. With FSM, you can feel confident that you will never need to compromise on integrating your processes, thus increasing uptime, saving operationally, and getting access the holistic data that can help your business move to the next level. Leading property and commercial services businesses understand that when issues arise, they need to be ready to address them expediently, and effectively. These solutions come from a dense network of in-house, contracted, and contingent labor sources, all of which need to be centrally managed. Whether it be a residential, retail, or industrial space, organizations need a service management platform with a scope of solutions that are tailored to their specific business. IFS takes that complexity and makes it an asset. Come see how. Retail is changing. With more choices than ever, customers are demanding standout experience from their shopping experiences, both when they purchase a product, and for the long-term. Forward-thinking retail enterprises understand that getting after-sales service right offers them an engine for new product offerings, and a way to engage with customers well beyond the sale. With IFS, Retail Professionals have a partner that can help them challenge the boundaries of traditional retail, and set them up for long-term success. New standards like 5G mean the telecoms industry needs connected business software that manages many varied challenges to remain efficient. The dispersed asset management of this smart, connected environment becomes more complex. Managing complex network assets, ensuring that asset performance management is optimal, that maintenance meets all the budget and cost objectives of an organization and in the 'last mile' the optimization of service delivery and customer satisfaction is enhanced is a common goal of the IFS solution. Trucking, logistics, and transportation companies have more tools that even to track, organize, and manage their fleet operations. With that comes increased customer expectations around the speed, accuracy, and transparency of operations and product delivery.

IFS Maintenix eLogbook delivers a pilot-driven user experience that supports a connected workforce and pilot engagement model; delivering data accuracy; and improving upon reliability, performance, and quality of the aircraft and its flight schedule. The widespread benefit of next-generation electronic technical logbooks is an increasingly connected workforce. Airlines are striving towards connectivity across their operations, from check-in, in-flight connectivity right down to a connected and fleet-wide maintenance system. IFS Maintenix eLogbook acts a bridge that allows communication with all required stakeholders (maintenance operations control center, mechanics, supervisors, engineers, and pilots) working in unison allowing timely and pertinent information to flow from the flight deck to the hangar in real-time to maximize aircraft turnaround efficiency. Data is used to drive decision-making in all facets of the aviation business. By transforming paper-based and legacy processes into digital ones, IFS Maintenix eLogbook makes transcription and paperwork errors a thing of the past. The integrity of data can be better trusted with the IFS solution, seamlessly transferring fault information logged at the flight deck to IFS Maintenix Operator Edition, eliminating the need to re-key in information into a separate system. IFS Maintenix eLogbook is designed, first and foremost, with the pilot in mind. Like a modern suit, it offers a slim, tailored experience, providing the vital information pilots need to perform their job. In fact, pilots no longer need to physically be on the flight deck to be aware of maintenance issues and what impact they may have on the flight. Additionally, IFS Maintenix eLogbook empowers the pilot to log and note faults, in-flight. Through a purposeful two-way communication loop, IFS Maintenix eLogbook proactively informs maintenance crews and pilots well in advance of boarding the aircraft, of issues that need to be dealt with, providing more time to react. By being forewarned, airlines can significantly minimize the last-minute surprises which contribute to longer aircraft on ground (AOG) scenarios—keeping planes in the air, passengers happy and looking after that bottom line. From a cost-saving perspective, airlines have provided pilots with iPads or tablets to remove as much paper as possible from the flight deck. Delivering the logbook over a tablet transcends the paper-based platform and gives a pilot access to aircraft status anywhere anytime. The power of IFS Maintenix eLogbook is in its enhanced fault forwarding. The fault information is shared in an expedited fashion with the maintenance crew to proactively prepare, perform preliminary analysis, analyze and fix faults faster—thus mitigating costly delays, cancellations, and the dreaded ‘aircraft on ground’ status.
