2008 IQMS User Group Meeting a Great Success

Nearly 200 EnterpriseIQ Users Convened for Three-Day, Collaborative Event

Paso Robles, CA, November 12, 2008 - IQMS, a leader in the design and development of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, is pleased to announce the success of its most recent User Group meeting, which was held October 22-24, 2008 at the Sheraton Resort in Anaheim, California. The three-day, interactive event drew 200 EnterpriseIQ users from around the world, with titles represented including CEO, CFO, and IT management. IQMS User Group meetings offer customers a unique opportunity to learn present and future development plans, participate in one-on-one Q&A sessions, interact with other customers, and - most importantly - become part of discussion groups that shape the advancement of the EnterpriseIQ suite of products.

"User Group meetings are invaluable to both IQMS and our customers because they foster face to face collaboration and understanding and give us a compass with which to direct future upgrades and development," explains Randy Flamm, president and founder of IQMS. "As always, this year's event gave us valuable feedback and further strengthened our ability to work with our customers toward the common goal of driving an efficient and profitable supply chain."

"I see clearly their strong commitment to the ongoing success of my business," says Jeff Bowers, production manager at Jaco Manufacturing. "EnterpriseIQ delivers great benefit as an ERP solution for manufacturers, but the value does not stop with the product. IQMS goes well beyond expectations in their effort to inform and understand their customers. The IQMS User Group meeting is a big part of that endeavor, and gives me the chance to expand my knowledge and help to make the software evolve. It is an experience not provided by other ERP companies I have used."

The 2008 IQMS User Group meeting offered EnterpriseIQ users the chance to collaborate with and learn from other users how to get the most from their implementations. From large group discussions to smaller break-out sessions and targeted industry debates, attendees could network with peers from across the manufacturing industry landscape. The event also put customers in direct contact with IQMS developers and executives who outlined future, free upgrades and presented new and developing IQMS products such as SmartPage, SmartSearch, Spreadsheet Server, RackTruck, and PalletWrapper. Additionally, the latter two applications were the focus of an Automation Round table that focused on shop floor to ERP integration. With two customer companies presenting, other IQMS users were offered an opportunity to see photos, usage, and ROI of projects that can expand their lean and agile goals for operation.

"As an IQMS customer, the User Group not only allows me to participate in the direction, functionality, and feel of the software but is also an invaluable collaborative environment where the customer base can discuss how we have applied the software," said Nathan Goodrich, systems manager at Packaging Plus.
