Job Description
IFS Project Based Solution offers integrated project management software for managing complex enterprise project lifecycles. Companies that require managing complex project lifecycles are often forced to use separate software products to manage different stages of the project - tendering, commercial, estimating, engineering, procurement, manufacturing & fabrication, planning, cost control, construction, installation, and commissioning. Our enterprise project management software capabilities unite these steps in a single integrated process, pulling data on real-time activities directly into a project plan. This affords the ultimate in control and visibility, enabling real-time control over cost, cash, time, resources and risk. We offer a true project-based solution - in essence, an enterprise solution built around project management principles rather than repetitive processes.
