IFS Continues Its North American Expansion With Another New Partner-Brij Image & Information

In a move to further strengthen its presence in targeted vertical industries in North America, IFS announced a new sales and services partner, Brij Image & Information, Inc. (brij) of Greensboro, North Carolina. The company provides businesses with a broad range of business process solutions, including integrated and modular enterprise software and implementation services. With significant experience in IFS' target markets, including industrial manufacturing and distribution, brij is now IFS' distributor partner in a sixteen-state area that includes the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States.

"I believe that business executives want simpler solutions to their business pains: simpler to buy, simpler to implement, and simpler to integrate into their business processes," said brij CEO Martin Green. "brij is all about providing solutions that solve the pain and fit the pocketbook. IFS ApplicationsT is a great fit for our mid-market customers."

"Our alliance with brij is another step toward providing mid-market and Tier 1 companies in our targeted industries with the best possible business solutions and services," said Mike Nordin, IFS North America president. "brij's proven experience in sales, services, and consulting-combined with IFS' comprehensive suite of 60+ business applications-makes it easy for companies to meet today's critical business issues, such as regulatory compliance, demanding global customer requirements, rapid growth, and cost containment."

Industrial manufacturing is one of IFS' targeted vertical markets. IFS has a broad customer base in the industry, focusing on medium- to large-size manufacturers that need support for complex order-driven and mixed-mode manufacturing across the extended enterprise. With strong support for project management, engineering, constraint-based scheduling, product configuration, and after-sales support, IFS' business solution helps companies improve quality, contain costs, and improve their competitive position in manufacturing industry segments such as machinery, defense, fabricated metal products, and plastic products. Industrial manufacturing companies also benefit from IFS' lifecycle management solution, which goes beyond product lifecycle management (PLM) to provide better integration and management of three critical business areas-products, customers, and resources-throughout their lifecycles.

Existing IFS customers in the industrial manufacturing industry include Deere & Co., Dresser-Rand, Gehl, Star Cutter, Remmele Engineering, and Johnson Pump.

Established in 1986 in Greensboro, North Carolina, Brij Image & Information, Inc. (brij) offers a combination of business process solutions designed to help customers connect their operations, customers, and suppliers with seamless, automated business processes. These solutions include integrated and modular enterprise software solutions, web services-based solutions, composite application development, business process management, e-commerce and web development, customer relationship management, search engine marketing, branding, and collateral design solutions. Brij sells and implements solutions from partners, including IFS Applications, PeopleSoft, Cordys, IBM, and Microsoft, and is the exclusive distributor partner for IFS Applications in a sixteen-state area that includes the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States.
