SaKo 2025 - Key takeaways from Curit: Industry focus, AI and innovation
Back in January, our colleagues Carsten and Melina attended the SaKo conference in London. As an IFS partner, our participation was both about networking with the other partners and IFS players, and it was also a unique opportunity to gain insight into the latest trends in ERP solutions, AI and the future of the industry.
Industry-specific focus - better positioning and value
IFS has always had a strong industry focus, developing solutions tailored to specific needs and challenges in different industries. At SaKo 2025, it was further confirmed that IFS aims to deliver industry-specific solutions that support and optimise companies' processes. By targeting solutions to specific industries, IFS can help them strengthen their market position through technology that is precisely tailored to their unique requirements.
AI and the future of technology
One of the most notable trends at SaKo 2025 was the rapid growth of AI-powered solutions. AI is transforming business efficiency and decision-making, and IFS is at the forefront of this development. AI can help companies analyse large amounts of data to optimise operational processes and make more informed decisions. At SaKo 2025, it became clear that generative AI has also made its way into the IFS Cloud. We see an increased demand for AI-powered tools and it's clear that this is an area that will be very important in the future.
Expanding IFS solutions
IFS is not only limiting itself to ERP, but also expanding its solutions to include other related technologies that can create value for businesses. At the conference, much emphasis was placed on solutions such as Copperleaf, Assyst and Poka, which support both business optimisation and industrial processes. This expansion of the IFS portfolio enables organisations to integrate multiple aspects of their operations on one platform, creating a more cohesive and efficient solution.
Networking and collaboration - important connections
SaKo 2025 offered great opportunities for networking and collaboration. During the Nordic Dinner, we made valuable connections with other industry players and partners.
IFS has always prioritised its partner collaboration, and in the future this focus will be intensified. IFS recognises that its partners are closer to the end customer and therefore have the best understanding of their needs. Therefore, IFS is working to further strengthen partner relationships, creating a solid foundation for innovation and growth of the software. We look forward to utilising these new opportunities to offer our customers even better solutions and service.
SaKo 2025 gave us a valuable opportunity to reflect on the latest trends and technologies in the ERP world. It was inspiring to hear about the opportunities that lie in industrial AI, cloud solutions and industry customisations. At Curit, we are excited to share these insights and continue to help our customers move towards a more efficient and digital future.
