Enterprise application vendor IFS today unveiled an aggressive five-year growth plan that will include acquisitions and will see the company double product revenue between now and 2012, according to president and CEO Alastair Sorbie.

In addition to dramatically growing product revenue, IFS expects to more than double its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) over the next five years, increase shareholder dividends, and use surplus capital to repurchase its public shares.

In 2007, the Swedish company reported SKr 1.1 billion in product revenue from licenses, maintenance, and support. IFS predicts it will double that figure by 2012.
