IFS has agreed to purchase MultiPlus from its parent company, Qurius International Holding . MultiPlus focus is in project-based software with clients in engineering, procurement and construction industries .This is part of IFS Grand plan to double revenue by 2013.

Well, not sure whether these acquisitions make just the commercial sense or they have a proper long term strategy. Take the example of Oracle who (it seems) is getting ready for the next wave of De-ERPizing as posted at http://puneeshlamba.blogspot.com/search/label/De-ERP
