When computing first appeared in midsize organizations, it was on the shop-floor, with Mini Computers and Production Information Control Systems. With the emergence of the PC and plummeting hardware costs, MRP software (Manufacturing Resource Planning) gave way to ERP systems which aimed at serving all the departments of the Enterprise. Moving away from "production-centric", systems became more "accounting-centric".

Things have changed again today. Manufacturing facilities are offshored, non-core processes are outsourced and "tech" firms have become global. The heart of the company is shifting towards sales, marketing, R&D, and ultimately towards the customer. From "self-centric" or "company-centric", Business Management Systems are becoming "customer-centric". With Iphen, the customer is never more than a click away from related information so customer focus permeates the organization. Iphen's systems not only help the organization capture new business and run its business, they also help it adapt and transform itself as markets change.
