IFS Applications is so user-friendly and the intuitive nature sometimes means I don’t need to contact the IFS support team, I can solve the issue myself.” Majis uses IFS touch apps ‘IFS Notify Me’ and ‘IFS Talk’ for mobile devices that enables employees to approve purchase orders, expenses and invoices anywhere and collaborate with other staff in real-time. Implementing IFS Applications has elevated Majis ability to be agile and allowed it to successfully concentrate on the commercialisation of water. “This has helped to increase operational efficiency,” says Al-Manthari. “Training staff to use IFS Applications could never be easier. “Our CEO loves IFS Applications because it gives him the business intelligence in real-time to accurately manage forecasts, www.intelligentcio.com risk management and business operations to make informed decisions that impact the business,” said Al-Manthari.

Most importantly, it’s the right solution to support our business,” says Al-Manthari. n INTELLIGENTCIO 55
