IFS Applications Implemented for Prism Solar Technologies

IFS has announced that Prism Solar Technologies has implemented IFS Applications at its Lake Katrine, New York location.

Prism makes solar module technology, used in residential, commercial and industrial solar electric applications. By implementing IFS Applications, Prism officials say they expect to be "able to react more quickly to changing market demands" and "implement process controls to accommodate its expanding business."

Corning (News - Alert) Data Services, of Corning, N.Y. helped Prism with their application selection process, and will further assist them in the implementation of IFS Applications. Prism Solar will implement the IFS Applications product suite of mixed-mode manufacturing,

 

The high-tech industry is one of IFS' targeted vertical markets. IFS offers industry-specific products for companies in the electronic equipment, electronic component, and semiconductor industries. These products are for business processes from design and mixed-mode manufacturing to after-sales support and warranty management.

 

Earlier this month IFS, an enterprise applications company, said that Loram Maintenance of Way of Hamel, Minnesota has selected IFS Applications to replace its 19-year-old material requirements planning (MRP) system.

 

Loram, a 700-employee maintenance equipment and services provider to the railroad industry, implemented IFS Applications in an effort to reduce the number of legacy systems and the "exorbitant costs" associated with maintaining the connections between them, according to Loram officials.

 

Loram officials said IFS Applications was chosen in part for its focus on engineer-to-order for the mid-market and its proven maintenance, repair, and overhaul products.

 

"We are currently running multiple legacy systems, including a clumsy Computerized Maintenance Management System that is difficult to use and expensive to maintain," Loram Chief Financial Officer Don Cherrey said. "We realized that our 19-year-old MRP system was outdated, and we needed to replace it."

 

The Construction, Contracting and Service Management industry is one of IFS' targeted vertical market segments.

 

Last month IFS applications won the Middle East's Center of Enterprise Research award for ERP System of the Year 2007 in the service industry category.
