IFS Wins Another Customer in Migration from TCM™ Software to IFS e-Business and Enterprise Solutions
Opus, located in Bellingham, Massachusetts, is one of the world's largest manufacturers of bird feeders, bird feeder accessories, and terra cotta home and garden products. Its products sell in retail outlets across the nation, including Wal-Mart stores.
"The IFS Migration Toolkit™ was instrumental in our decision to convert from the TCM to IFS software. The step-by-step approach of the toolkit gives us confidence that the transition will proceed in a logical manner," said John Stone, Opus' president and chief executive officer. "The switch to IFS will provide an integrated system that spans our entire operation, from back office functions to the ever important management of customer relationships and e-business."
President and Chief Executive Officer of IFS North America Terje Vangbo commented, "Changes in a company's fundamental business practices, whether it's adding a web store front or implementing a new enterprise system, don't have to be disruptive or risky. We designed the Migration Toolkit to eliminate such fears for TCM users making the move to IFS. It provides a safe, predictable and affordable path for quickly converting TCM systems to IFS e-business capabilities and business applications."
