FROM BOARD

ELAN SYUHERLANPRESIDENT DIRECTOR

Dear valued customers,Until at least the middle of the next decade, global growth is likely to slow to approximately 3 percent per year on average – a rate somewhat below the average of the last two decades. A recovery in advanced economies will be more than offset by a gradual slowdown in emerging ones as they mature, with the net result that global growth will slow. The greatest challenge for the global economy in this slow growth environment is to raise productivity without losing job opportunities for the millions who are looking for reasonably paid jobs to support their living standards.

The evolution of internet and mobile communication has change the way of a business application works, from when it was centralized and owned by a company to support their operation to just put it in the cloud and use it when necessarily.

The company that couldn’t adaptive to some changes in the global market condition and couldn’t take benefit from the technology evolution will certainly fall into a deep black hole. To raise the optimum productivity while maintaining efficiencies and improve cost savings, the company needs such kind of tools that will help them take the right and fast decisions.After success with IFS Application 7, IFS is now preparing to launch to market in mid 2012 the next generation of IFS Application version 8. A lot of innovation, improvement and enrichment have been made into IFS Application 8, including Consolidating Innovation, Advancing Core Processes, Business Intelligent, New and Updated Technology, and Reinforcing User Experience, that will make IFS Application 8 the most powerful tools needed by any companies who want to keep growing throughout economic turbulence in the years to come.

With IFS Applications 8 you will stay agile and ready for change and evolution without disrupting the company operations. Face a better world with IFS.Happy and prosperous New Year 2012.

And then although he was accepted in a state-owned university, he didn’t take the opportunity because it was too far from home and it was not in Java - and his parent did not allow him to go too. Finally, he decided to take study at Gunadarma University in 1991 - majoring in Information System (though he admitted that he would rather to have studied in Agricultural, Electrical, or Civil Engineering Faculty).

All the process within and inter department is done by ERP Systems. He hopes that one day all of the systems can be centralized in a one place.

Aligned to the business growth of PT Showa Indonesia Manufacturing, now, Information System & Technology is divided into System development, Information Technology Infrastructure, and IT Operation and Maintenance, covering all aspects related to Information system, communication and its technology.
