"IFS Applications has enabled us to meet a variety of key corporate
objectives," said Michael Little, President of De La Rue Security Print Inc.
"Among these goals are the implementation of a corporate-wide lean
manufacturing initiative, the development of quality management processes for
all our products, the creation of a more efficient quote-to-sales-order
process, and a move from sheet-based to web-based printing. We're pleased that
the go-live went smoothly, with no interruption of our business."
"Before this project began, De La Rue already was using IFS at their
facility in Overton, United Kingdom," said IFS North America president Michael
Nordin. "We're delighted that they have chosen to extend their implementation
in Overton to one of their facilities here in North America before continuing
the rollout in the UK. IFS Applications is designed for global companies such
as De La Rue, and we have the global support to back it up."
