Enterprise software solution provider IFS held its World Conference on May 1-May 3 in Atlanta, Ga. The Swedish-headquartered company provides ERP, EAM and ESM to many different businesses globally that are involved in many different industries.

Food and beverage is just one of the industries it serves, however, Rick Veague, CTO for IFS, thinks because the company started first in the nuclear and aerospace industries, its software offers an intrinsic benefit for food and beverage manufacturers needing to improve their traceability efforts.
