IFS, the global enterprise applications company, announces that Hawkeye Tracking, a recognised, innovative management consulting firm specialising in military logistics and information technology, has joined the IFS Partner Network. Hawkeye is a veteran-owned small business, with unique military and specialist knowledge of defence ministry processes around the globe. Together, IFS and Hawkeye will co-operate to provide advanced end-to-end supply chain solutions for military and commercial customers, supported by a world-class military logistics consultancy. Hawkeye is well-established with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and possesses valuable experience in meeting rigid DoD contractual requirements. The company also has experience working on defence ministry opportunities across the Middle East, and the partnership will make IFS A&D solutions available to a wider range of global customers through the unique, government-supported Foreign Military Sales (FMS) system. As part of the IFS partner ecosystem, Hawkeye will in turn benefit from full access to the product suites of IFS Applications and IFS Maintenix, as well as comprehensive partner education from the IFS Academy through a series of exams and courses to train as certified IFS specialists. “The success of Hawkeye is built on establishing strong relationships with our clients and growing our portfolio by working closely with key business partners. Given our close relationship with a number of militaries and in light of IFS progress as a specialist A&D enterprise software supplier in the sector, we believe that we are strongly positioned to collaborate with IFS to enhance performance and best support our customers in an evolving A&D market,” said Bill Hayes, President of Hawkeye Tracking. “The partnership with Hawkeye is reflective of the tremendous traction IFS is currently experiencing in aerospace and defence,” added Graham Grose, VP and Industry Director, Aerospace & Defence, IFS. “Key enabling partners like Hawkeye play an essential role in delivering and building on the capabilities of IFS, while helping us expand into new markets and regions. We look forward to working closely with Hawkeye and sharing our mutual military knowledge to further enhance our position in the A&D market.”
