    LINKOPING, Sweden, April 5 -- IFS, the global enterprise applications company, today announced the launch of IFS Applications(TM) 7 to address the growing need for agility in today's increasingly complex business environment.

    IFS Applications 7 enables enterprise agility so that organizations can take advantage of rapidly changing international market conditions. The new release gives enterprises a service-oriented architecture (SOA) with reusable business components designed for improved user productivity, faster implementation, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), and easier upgrades. Unlike traditional monolithic enterprise software, IFS Applications 7 meets today's business needs.

    "Software components were the fundamental building blocks in the first generation of IFS Applications back in 1998," said IFS CEO Alastair Sorbie. "Now we are bringing to market the seventh generation of our component-based applications while our competitors are still on their first. The popularity of SOA means our competitors' development dollars have to be used to break up their monolithic applications while their customers wait for promises to be delivered. At IFS, we can concentrate on industry-specific business functionality that gives our customers a true competitive edge in today's increasingly global market."
