Essential network services provider, Service Stream, selects IFS Applications 9

IFS (STO:IFSA) (STO:IFSB) (http://www.ifsworld.com/), the global enterprise applications company, today announced that Service Stream (http://www.servicestream.com.au/), a provider of essential network services to the Australian telecommunications and utility industries, has chosen to implement IFS Applications™ 9 (http://www.ifsworld.com/en/solutions/ifs-applications/ifs-applications-9/) to replace its existing enterprise systems with a single solution. The agreement for phase one includes over AUD 2 million in licenses and services.

With implementation commencing in November 2015, Service Stream will replace and consolidate multiple enterprise information systems with IFS Applications to promote operational efficiencies in its infrastructure projects and optimize project execution.

In addition to project management, financials, supply chain management, sales and service, maintenance, and document management, Service Stream will implement IFS Mobile Work Order (http://www.ifsworld.com/en/sitecore/media-library/assets/2014/07/17/09/37/executive-summary-mobile-work-orders-transform-your-business/) to enable its field service staff to improve productivity and secure data quality.

Scheduled for completion in 2016, IFS will provide a single platform giving visibility to company executives and managers into program and project performance. The ability to provide visibility and management of project schedules, sub-contractor engagement and execution, materials and inventory, customer/supplier invoicing, and integration with IFS Financials component were key considerations in Service Stream’s selection.

"Service providers to essential networks need modern, agile enterprise systems to optimize project execution in real time,” said IFS Australia and New Zealand managing director Rob Stummer. "With IFS Mobile Work Order, for example, employees and sub-contractors can access and update relevant information immediately.”
