Together we are more.”
IFS Chief Customer Officer Michael Ouissi commented: “IFS has seen tremendous success over the last few years because we are close to our customers, add to this the huge uptake of IFS Cloud in 2021 and it became clear that we, IFS, needed to invest and scale our deployment capability. BearingPoint have been a strong and successful partner for us, they understand our business and mirror our customers focus; expanding our relationship to build capacity was a natural step.” Ouissi added : “I am particularly excited about Arcwide because it is a continuation of IFS’s and BearingPoint’s respective strategies: delivering great experiences and accelerating time to value. Customers can feel very confident that the Arcwide teams will look to build equally strong relationships with them as IFS did.”
