Challenges and the Future

One of the challenges IQMS has faced and overcome involves its customers' international requirements. As its customers increasingly compete on a global scale, IQMS has developed multicurrency and multilingual support. The software is now translated into at least seven different languages and supports localization characteristics in its financial functionality.

IQMS's PLM solution is a fresh introduction from the company's roadmap. Providing an ERP-centric perspective on PLM, the company's core system will drive its PLM solution. Its medical and automotive manufacturing customers must think in terms of project oriented contracts, so IQMS continues its integration theme and its PLM module will unify customers' existing ERP information. Users can view an entire history from quoting to contract management, to design phases, to first article phases, tooling phases, build-out phases, to the actual production, repairs, maintenance of production, part changes, and finally all the way down to retiring the project.

The contribution analysis graph below demonstrates the degree to which each area of IQMS's solution contributes functionality to its overall solution. This graph is based on TEC's model of Discrete ERP solutions.
