Atrion International Joins IFS Global Software Partner Program to Provide Product Compliance Across the Entire Product Life Cycle
Atrion International announced that it has joined the IFS Global Software Partner Program. Under the terms of the partnership agreement, Atrion's Product Compliance solution can be integrated with IFS Applications to provide IFS customers with dynamic regulatory content, software applications, and services that automate and streamline product compliance across the entire Product Life Cycle (http://www.atrionintl.com/productlifecyclesolutions.html).
IFS and Atrion have been collaborating for several years on a case-by-case basis. The integrated solution is a proven offering with many successful implementations for such notable companies as Akzo Nobel and Becker Acroma. Atrion's integration of product compliance and technological expertise provides a strategic business process that addresses changing regulatory requirements imposed on formula-based process industries. Atrion's solution makes it easy to follow and stay up-to-date with legislative requirements such as the control, labeling, and classification of chemicals - from the development stage through to sales.
The combined IFS/Atrion solution will provide customers with dynamic regulatory content, applications, and services which integrate product life cycle compliance into their ERP systems (http://www.atrionintl.com/erpbasedsolutions.html), making the processing of material compliance information easier, automated, and streamlined. Other terms of the agreement include support from IFS integration specialists, as well as joint participation in the sales, marketing initiatives, and IFS events.
IFS' industry-focused solutions are optimized for ERP, EAM, and MRO. "Through working with partners like Atrion International, we are able to offer our customers a wider choice of business functionality and enable them to become more agile," said Ulf Annas, Solution Partner Director at IFS. "It is possible for us to collaborate closely with our software partners as IFS Applications is based on a service-oriented architecture into which partners' components can easily integrate."
