DELMIAWorks vs. Intellect QMS

I think [DELMIAWORKS (formerly IQMS)] is well suited for our manufacturing side of the business. The Quality control module is great for reference and being able to stay up to par on ISO Certification. Everything in the Payroll module takes 10 steps or more just to complete a simple task. Nothing in there needs to be that complicated.

The QMS is well suited for standardizing the steps that go along with a process. The workflows and activity ownership makes it very easy to make sure that processes are completed according to the way the workflow is displayed. It becomes very simple to track down the stage at which a process is at. Processes are done in a linear orderly manner.

• As a manufacturing company, Inventory Control has to be at the top of the list. The inventory module provides flexibility, but also tracks any move that is done to inventory.
• RealTime allows our users to see the status of a machine or production run from anywhere. This also allows us to complete our production reporting process much quicker than we would without it.
• The quality modules across the board are pretty well thought out and very easy for end users to use. The layout of these modules are similar, so it makes it easy to understand and set up. Document Control is used every single day to route documents appropriately before being released.

• The applications are linked to each other so that activities can be shared, collaborated and escalated in one platform.
• Applications are sufficient "out of the box" but can be configured easily with its intuitive Design tools.
• Users can go to their personal dashboard to stay on top of their tasks across multiple applications and monitor status of activities in progress.
• The workflow-based applications keep activities moving forward efficiently but following standard processes.

• Accounting reports: accrued receipts reporting makes it difficult to reconcile.
• Fixed assets: depreciation posts to the general ledger at the asset level, generating inordinately large numbers of relatively meaningless transactions.
• Process cost: PIT display lacks many useful fields, including vendor name and number.
• Financial reports carry beyond two decimal places.
• Report structures are not sensibly arranged, and many reports imbed data within text fields, making manipulation and reporting more time-consuming.

• Although the configuration is a "no code" approach, there is a learning curve to effecting design changes.
• The user guide documentation provided is OK for administrators but needs to be more user-friendly for general users.
• Importing "legacy" data from existing processes can be cumbersome.

Given how invested we are it would be hard not to renew as don't want to go through another implementation.

The menu system is easy to navigate and intuitive for users. The learning curve for administrators is quite steep form setting up user permissions to creating reports for users. This is a very powerful system with many dynamics to help most companies. Expandability is always there and it comes down to how granular you would like your company to be on a data gathering/reporting and material flow process.

There is always resistance to change, but users are finding Intellect QMS to exceed their expectations as we migrate from our legacy "island" Sharepoint-based processes. Training is actually easiest to do hands-on, and users can learn quickly and then help train others. Users appreciate the personal navigation dashboard and the familiarity of the interface from one application to another. The workflow-driven applications are intuitive and make the system easy to navigate for all levels of users, although the learning curves will vary. The "Design-Test-Live" approach facilitates the implementation of configuration changes suggested by users.

We constantly have trouble getting support. There doesn't seem to be anyone there anymore that can help with what we need.

It is nice that an IQMS employee helps you with the implementation, however they were more of a technical resource than a project management resource. I wish they could provide a more off the shelf timeline given their experience in implementing the system.

DELMIAWorks had the best overall manufacting and data gathering software for our facility. It was easy to implement coming from a 20 year old Unix based system. The DELMIAWorks had a more robust system than Global Shop and while close to Plex, had a better pricing system and the ability to have the server on site versus the cloud.

We considered other "out of the box" platforms and decided to partner with Intellect QMS because of the ease of implementation and scalability. We went through a lot of demos and preferred the Intellect QMS user interface and responsiveness of the customer support team. The cost was competitive to launch and will allow us to add users and applications as we continue to grow. Many of the customer testimonials we reviewed pointed to Intellect QMS as the best fit for our organization.

• Enterprise IQ is so versatile that it has many different ways to get to the desired result. By using their software we are able to track problems area and shift our focus on the areas that need fixed.
• Before going to Enterprise IQ our employees used to stand for hours at a computer with a pad and pencil making manual transactions. Not all of that is done through the use of scanners. The amount of overall savings not to mention the accuracy of inventory has improved greatly.

• Users appreciate the time and effort saved by having all of the QMS functions connected and in one place, without having to rely on emails, Sharepoint links multiple modes of communication to keep track of their activities and responsibilities.
• The no-code platform means we don't need IT support to maintain and configure the applications. One administrator was able to get the system launched and effective in just several weeks, with ongoing training and customization as users and applications are added.
• Our organization was recently certified to ISO 9001:2015. Intellect QMS helped us to navigate internal and audits confidently and effectively.
