Swedish enterprise applications vendor IFS today released its Enterprise Explorer user interface — formerly called Aurora — for general availability, CEO Alastair Sorbie told <i>Managing Automation</i>.

IFS Enterprise Explorer (IEE) marks IFS’ bid to make ERP systems easier to use and more Internet-enabled. It incorporates .NET and SOA technology, and is part of a <a href=" http://www.managingautomation.com/maonline/magazine/read/view/Easy_as_Pie_163966" target="_blank">trend among ERP vendors</a> toward more user-friendliness.

The company <a href=" http://www.managingautomation.com/maonline/news/read/IFS_Previews_New_User_Interface_30694" target="_blank">introduced IEE as Aurora</a> in October 2007, and has provided it to beta users, including Nebraska-based international silo and grain elevator maker Chief Industries.

But it hits the general market over half a year late.
