Calidus selects IFS Applications to
support growth
IFS, the global enterprise applications company, has
announced the aerospace and defence technology company
Calidus, based in Abu Dhabi, has selected IFS Applications™
as its core solution to manage operations and manufacturing
projects. The IFS solution includes finance, HR, supply chain
and project and document management modules to develop
Calidus projects, including manufacturing the new B–250
Light Attack aircraft.
One of the recent successful Calidus projects supported by
the IFS solution, the B-250 Light Attack aircraft, has recently
been launched at the Dubai Airshow. Luis Ortega, Managing
Director, Middle East, Africa and South Asia at IFS, added:
”Aerospace and defence manufacturing and maintenance is a
rapidly growing industry in the Middle East, and Calidus joins
a growing number of customers in the region which recognise
the industry expertise of IFS.”
Following its rapid growth in the last two years, Calidus
recognised the need for a solution which could scale-up
and meet the requirements of a fast-moving company. IFS
Applications will allow Calidus to automate key end-to-end
processes to increase productivity, reduce costs, and provide
management with a 360 degree view of operations to make
better business decisions.
The industry-specific and agile nature of IFS Applications
removes the need for customisation and a long
implementation timeline.
