H1 is evidence that our strategy to focus on this and to build agility into our product operations, so customers can respond to the market fast is working. Customers can see the difference in what IFS is doing, and that ensuring their success is why we do what we do.

Delivering our Moment of Service to our customers is a very real mission for IFS, and the sharp rise in cloud adoption is testimony to that.”
