Looking to put itself ahead of the ERP pack by delivering greater usability to enterprise users, IFS AB today rolled out an embedded search capability that spans the entire IFS Applications suite.

Out of the box, the technology will troll data that resides within the IFS environment, but it can be configured to also return search results that include, for example, a Dun & Bradstreet report on a potential supplier, or information from the supplier's own Web site, according to Rick Veague, chief technology officer of IFS North America.
