After a Year of Expanding International Market Outreach and Producing Innovative ERP and Manufacturing Software Solutions for Customers, IQMS Looks Ahead to 2010

PASO ROBLES, CA (February 01, 2009) –

IQMS, an innovator in the design and development of manufacturing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing software, today announced its 2009 year review. Despite a remarkably tough economy, IQMS made gains in several areas, including posting double digit profits that will position the company for continued growth in 2010. With expansion in the Europe and Southeast Asia markets, escalated development in all areas of software, further utilization of the Automation Group, victories in various industry and technology awards and an increase in overall user and machine licenses, IQMS had a strong presence in last year.

“IQMS had a very good year despite the down economic picture,” said Randy Flamm, president and founder of IQMS. “Our company embraced the idea of expansion in development to expand globally to offer its solutions to more manufacturing companies that prefer our lean approach. IQMS was also recognized for its excellent customer relations and for its technology-rich software programs that were specifically designed with customer requirements in mind. While other ERP companies were handing out pink slips, IQMS increased its work force to better prepare us for our future and the future needs of our customers.”
EnterpriseIQ ERP and Manufacturing Software Enhancements and Expansion of Customer Support Technology

Last year, IQMS released a new version of its flagship product, EnterpriseIQ, which included more than 900 customer-driven enhancements. The company debuted a series of high profile solutions that expand the reach of the ERP and Manufacturing Software to shop floor equipment, including: RackTruck, a customized ERP solution that combines inventory scanning forklift mounted monitors and stocking location mapping for manufacturers; and Signature Capture, an application that employs electronic tablets to store handwritten signatures within the ERP system and allows companies to track transactions across the entire enterprise and supply chain.

Also launched was the IQMS Community Server Web 2.0 application, which enables customers to shape future software development and provide feedback from the entire customer base to the submitting company. With IQMS Community Server, customers can see the development cycle of ERP enhancements and have up-to-date information on their own idea submissions as well as the submissions by other companies.
