IQMS Positioned as One of the Leaders in the FrontRunners Quadrant for Manufacturing, June 2017

IQMS, a leading manufacturing ERP software and manufacturing execution system (MES) authority, today announced that the company has been positioned as one of the Leaders in the Software Advice FrontRunners Quadrant for Manufacturing, June 2017. The placement for IQMS EnterpriseIQ integrated manufacturing enterprise system (MES) as a Leader on the FrontRunners Quadrant was bolstered by a rating of four out of five stars based on 127 end-user reviews submitted to Software Advice, a Gartner company. The full report can be found at http://www.softwareadvice.com/manufacturing/#top-products.

FrontRunners quadrants highlight the top software products for North American small businesses, helping these companies to make more informed decisions about what software is right for them. Software Advice states that all 24 products appearing in the FrontRunners Quadrant for Manufacturing are top performers. To create this quadrant, Software Advice evaluated more than 120 manufacturing software products, selecting those with the top scores for their capability and value. Scores are based largely on reviews from real software users, along with other product performance details, such as what features are offered and how many customers they have.

“Our EnterpriseIQ system has been built by manufacturers for manufacturers. For nearly three decades, we have been committed to giving customers a unified view across their manufacturing operations and supply chain that enables them to compete more effectively in the global market,” said Gary Nemmers, IQMS CEO. “We are honored to be selected for the Software Advice FrontRunners Quadrant for Manufacturing, June 2017 based on the reviews and ratings of our customers. We see it as validation of the value we bring to manufacturers by combining native MES and ERP capabilities into a single system that empowers them to optimize their operations, from the back office to the shop floor and across the supply network.”

IQMS Integrated MES-ERP System Built for Manufacturers

IQMS software uniquely combines robust MES and ERP functionality into one comprehensive solution in which all data—from systems and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors on the shop floor to the back office—is managed by the same embedded Oracle database. This empowers manufacturing enterprises to take a streamlined approach to centralizing activity across the supply chain and ensuring that complete, accurate information is available to all authorized users at all times. Through IQMS’s Choice is the New Cloud™ program, customers have access to three deployment models designed for the needs of manufacturing firms.

  • Software as a Service is for customers that want to take advantage of IQMS via a cloud-based subscription.
  • Managed Cloud is for manufacturers that want to own their IQMS license but take advantage of a hosted cloud deployment.
  • Premise is for customers that want to run IQMS software in their own data center—either directly on servers or in a private cloud.

Additionally, IQMS delivers IQMS for Oracle Cloud Backup and IQMS Web BI. IQMS for Oracle Cloud Backup enables customers to automatically backup their IQMS system data to the robust Oracle Cloud, eliminating the need to manually backup data while providing secured offsite storage. IQMS Web BI features rich, cloud-based business intelligence and visualization functionality from Oracle to help manufacturers gain greater insights into their ERP and financial data. The cloud services are available to all manufacturing customers, whether they have IQMS software deployed on-premises or in the cloud hosted by IQMS.
