IFS just agreed to buy Copperleaf, putting us further ahead of any perceived rivals in asset intensive markets. They are an Asset Investment Planning solution who helps leadership organize their asset priorities and ration capital across the enterprise so that they can make decisions on where to invest for the best business outcomes. Per Gartner, there are three aspects to total asset management: Enterprise Asset Mgt (managing assets and work management); Asset Performance Mgt (instrumenting assets, monitoring health, and predicting failure) and lastly, Asset Investment Planning (organizing funding and priorities). A huge acquisition for us as it makes us the only company out there with all 3!
