With the current global emphasis on environmental protection, energy efficiency and sustainable resource management, the industrial sector is being affected by new legislation and customer pressure to reduce costs and conserve resources. These pressures are resulting in an increased focus on end application designs aimed atminimising power consumption, reducing scrap, and eliminating downtime.

IFS Applications for Energy & Utilities is a complete business application supporting technical and financial life cycle support, ie. it is implemented either as a 'best-of breed' Enterprise Asset Management solution or as a complete ERP
system.

IFS Applications supports energy companies in power generation, transmission and distribution as well as water, sewage and gas utilities. All necessary processes, such as financial control, inventory and procurement, logistics, resource management, work order and preventive maintenance, as well as equipment/asset management, are supported within the solution.

IFS Applications can be used for the entire life cycle management, or for the parts that are relevant to the customer needs.

For the complete solution, a large part of the IFS Application modules would be in use, in contrast to a smaller solution based on only a few modules, for example Equipment and Work order.
