“
This is such a large transformational project , and engagement at all levels up to the executive level has been outstanding .”
Mehmood Khan , IFS Managing Director for the Middle East
International Maritime Industries ( IMI ) needed a modern , fully integrated ERP solution with robust functionality , designed for the maritime industry something few vendors can offer . Following a comprehensive evaluation process across ERP vendors IMI chose IFS , which now supports mission-critical processes and operations and fully integrates finance , human capital management ( HCM ), payroll , and procurement . It allows easy integration with third party vendors , and the success of the implementation is warmly acknowledged by IMI ’ s Senior VP of Corporate Services , Emad Al Humam .
Mehmood Khan , IFS Managing Director for the Middle East , is keen to explain the strategic partnership between IFS and the Middle East ’ s largest ship and rig builder , fabrication and maintenance facility . “ Making sure that that ERP is industry specific is demanding . A shipbuilder like IMI is very different from a bank or retailer . But IMI is unique within its industry , by combining ship and rig building with operating and maintenance . They needed a business platform with ERP as well as asset management , finance , procurement , HSE and project management . We can enhance that solution , for example to enable mobile for the workforce , integrating robotic solutions etc .
As their activities ramp up they will be using IFS more extensively .
“ Throughout the implementation , our teams collaborated closely on a daily basis and that engagement is ongoing as IMI enhances the platform . One of the key things for me is the ability for both parties to compromise in a positively . This is such a large transformational project , and engagement at all levels up to the executive level has been outstanding .”
For Emad Al Humam too , the IFS relationship is pivotal in achieving IMI ’ s digitalization and smart shipyard vision “ By investing in a central , integrated platform , we have enhanced business insights through complete process visibility .”
