History

IQMS was founded by Randy and Nancy Flamm in 1989 and began with a Microsoft DOS-based offering named IQGenesis.[7][8] IQMS moved its headquarters from Southern California to Paso Robles in 1995.[9] In 1997, the company developed EnterpriseIQ, a manufacturing ERP software for the repetitive, process, and discrete manufacturing industries.[8] In 2011, IQMS product EnterpriseIQ 7.8.1 won the Stevie Award for "New Product or Service of the Year - Manufacturing".[10] In 2012, the company introduced the RTStation, a touch-screen device engineered for at-machine use providing shop floor functionality.[11] In August 2015, Nemmers succeeded Flamm as CEO while Flamm remained chairman of the board of directors.[2]

In April 2016, the company announced a browser-based user interface for its EnterpriseIQ Manufacturing ERP system named WebIQ. The release allowed its clients to access the system from mobile phones, tablets, and off site computers.[12] In September 2016, the company announced the ability for clients to automatically back up their IQMS system data in secure offsite data storage locations.[13] That month, the company also partnered with the Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County to provide two students entering college in the STEM field with a $20 thousand scholarship.[14]

In 2017, IQMS was awarded a gold Stevie Award in the customer service team of the year category,[15] and the executive of the year category,[16] as well as a silver in the large computer software company of the year category.[17]

In early 2019, Dassault Systèmes acquired IQMS for $425 million. As part of the acquisition, Dassault Systèmes rebranded the IQMS portfolio to DELMIAWorks.[18][19]
