For leaders in industrial sectors such as manufacturing, energy, aerospace, and telecommunications, IFS’s 2024 Unleashed Conference was a whirlwind of inspiring keynotes, information-packed breakout sessions, productive networking, and good old-fashioned adrenaline. From the highs of riding the Velocicoaster at Universal to the lows of hearing about how IFS customers have supported Florida communities through the horrors of Hurricane Milton, the event delivered a full spectrum of experiences and emotions.
As I said in my summary video last week, my biggest overall impression is that, while IFS may be behind the curve in rolling out AI capabilities within their solutions, they are taking the time to do it the right way. They are focusing on high-value, industry-specific use cases that will actually make a difference for their customers, and they are teaming up with the right partners, like Microsoft and boomi, to make AI a reality for their customers.
