Imagine an enterprise application that combines ERP and CRM in a single package. No more using CRM as a separate application in a separate database with a non-consistent user experience. Instead, you’d have an ERP system with CRM functionality, and one less separate application to learn and maintain.
That picture perfectly illustrates what you get with IFS Applications 9, announced today at the IFS World Conference 2015 in Boston, and its embedded CRM capability.
