IQMS’s software – on premise EnterpriseIQ and software as a service WebIQ – deliver an all-in-one solution to mid-market manufacturers for managing engineering, manufacturing and business ecosystems by digitally connecting order processing, scheduling, production and shipping processes in real time.
By integrating IQMS’s solutions into its3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud, Dassault Systèmes will provide these manufacturers with an affordable system for operations that improves the collaboration, manufacturing efficiency and business agility needed to serve their customers successfully. The manufacturers – many of them Solidworks users – also gain the flexibility to rapidly scale up as a business grows.
These firms can engage in new business opportunities and create value by supplying their manufacturing know-how and services to a large community of designers and engineers in Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE Marketplace – the world’s largest virtual factory.
Bernard Charlès, vice chairman and CEO, Dassault Systèmes, says: “We must no longer think of industry as a set of means of production, but as a process of value creation. This applies not only to disruptive start-ups and established corporations, but also to the hundreds of thousands of mainstream manufacturers that produce parts integral to the development of new consumer experiences.
“IQMS has cultivated a deep knowledge of manufacturing and manufacturer needs. We welcome IQMS to our team as we create a new category of business solutions that expands our offer for companies similar to those using Solid works. They can embrace the platform phenomenon and flourish in today’s Industry Renaissance.”
Worldwide, there are said to be 250,000 small and mid-sized manufacturers seeking digital transformation in today’s Industry Renaissance.
Dassault Systèmes will help IQMS expand its customer base by leveraging the presence in the mid-market space achieved with Dassault Systèmes’ Solidworks applications, which are delivered and supported by the company’s Professional Solutions global partner channel.
Adds Gary Nemmers, president & CEO, IQMS: “For years, our business has been committed to maximising our manufacturing customers’ success by delivering a comprehensive manufacturing ERP system built specifically for the mid-market manufacturers and backed by extensive support and educational services, which has earned us recognition in a number of industry reports and numerous business awards. As part of Dassault Systèmes, we can take the next steps in providing customers with new approaches to achieving operational efficiency and effectiveness and doing so with a global reach.”
