The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Infor CloudSuite no price, per user rate, minimum or contract term is published for CloudSuite; the site routes buyers to a sales contact form; IQMS dassault Systemes acquired the product in 2018 and renamed it, which changed the sales channel, the support relationship and the roadmap owner, so a buyer needs explicit commitments on release cadence rather than a history of independence that no longer applies.
  • They diverge on capability: Infor CloudSuite covers Financial management, IQMS covers Single database ERP and MES.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Infor CloudSuite

  • No price, per user rate, minimum or contract term is published for CloudSuite; the site routes buyers to a sales contact form
  • Infor Velocity Suite is advertised as one flat fee but no amount is published
  • CloudSuite runs on Amazon Web Services only, with no other cloud or on premises option stated on the page
  • Functionality is packaged as industry specific CloudSuites rather than one general ERP product

IQMS

  • Dassault Systemes acquired the product in 2018 and renamed it, which changed the sales channel, the support relationship and the roadmap owner, so a buyer needs explicit commitments on release cadence rather than a history of independence that no longer applies.
  • This is a discrete and repetitive manufacturing system, not a process one, so a batch producer needing formulation, potency, catch weight or co-product handling will hit capability gaps that configuration cannot close.
  • The product has an on premise heritage with an underlying commercial database, so a deployment carries database licensing and administration skills as costs that sit outside the ERP quote.
  • Its depth is on the shop floor rather than in the office, so organisations with complex multi-entity consolidation, international statutory reporting or sophisticated financial planning needs generally find the finance side thinner than the manufacturing side.
  • The knowledge base is split across two product names and two eras, so searching for help returns a mixture of IQMS-era community material and current DELMIAworks documentation, and it is not always obvious which applies to your version.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Infor CloudSuite: Is pricing published for Infor CloudSuite?

No. The product page does not disclose specific pricing, tiers, or costs. For the Infor Velocity Suite component, a single flat fee structure is mentioned, but no actual amount is stated.

Source
IQMS: Is IQMS the same as DELMIAworks?

Yes. Dassault Systemes acquired IQMS in 2018 and markets the product as DELMIAworks. The underlying application, EnterpriseIQ, is the same lineage, but contracts, support and the sales channel are now Dassault's.

Infor CloudSuite: How do you get pricing information for CloudSuite?

Customers must contact the Infor sales team directly via the Contact Us link on the website. The company does not publish pricing online.

Source
IQMS: Why choose this over an ERP plus a separate MES?

Because the interface between them is the usual failure point. One database means production status, scrap and costing agree by construction. The cost of that is a narrower product that suits a specific kind of manufacturer rather than any manufacturer.

Infor CloudSuite: Does CloudSuite use a per-seat or flat-fee model?

For the Infor Velocity Suite subset, a flat-fee model is mentioned with the phrase 'one flat fee, no matter where you're starting from.' However, the broader CloudSuite pricing structure is not specified publicly.

Source
IQMS: Does it suit process or batch manufacturing?

No. It was built around discrete and repetitive production. Formulation, potency adjustment and co-product handling are the domain of process ERP and you should look at a specialist for that.

IQMS: What should I check before buying under the current ownership?

Ask for the published release history since the acquisition, the support escalation path, who implements it in your region and whether they are Dassault staff or a partner, and what integration with the rest of the Dassault portfolio is assumed in the roadmap.
