Our company has successfully implemented IFS as our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution for a manufacturing unit across various divisions. The transition allowed them to establish robust business system standards tailored to the unique requirements of discrete manufacturing. They have found IFS to be adaptable and well-suited for our operational needs.

In terms of long-term viability, IFS has proven resilient, and we believe it aligns with their strategic goals for the next decade. The system's flexibility has allowed them to accommodate changes in the business environment and scale our operations effectively.

Finding suitable System Integrators (SI) for the implementation is a crucial aspect. 

If you have any specific questions or if there's a particular aspect you'd like more information on, feel free to reach out.

How is your company tracking whether 3rd party APIs used by your production code to exchange data with vendors, providers, and partners through connectors are: (1) Exchanging the agreed upon data as defined in the Data Protection Agreements (DPA), Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC)? (2) Validating geographical data residency and transfer guidelines with the 3rd parties that have been agreed upon?
