The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; Omnea it covers intake through contract only, so invoicing, payment and spend analysis remain with other systems and the promised end-to-end view is partial.
  • They diverge on capability: IQMS covers Single database ERP and MES, Omnea covers Intelligent intake.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

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.

Omnea

  • It covers intake through contract only, so invoicing, payment and spend analysis remain with other systems and the promised end-to-end view is partial.
  • As a younger vendor its integration library is narrower than the established suites, and connections into older on-premise ERP systems may require custom work.
  • Pricing is entirely quoted with no published tiers, and the vendor is small enough that comparable public reference points are scarce.
  • Third-party risk depth is good for questionnaire-driven assessment but lighter than a dedicated GRC platform on continuous monitoring and control mapping, so heavily regulated firms may still need both.
  • Its value is concentrated in organisations with a formal procurement policy and a compliance obligation; a company without either gets an approval workflow tool at enterprise pricing.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

Omnea: How does it differ from Zip?

Both do intake and approval orchestration. Omnea puts third-party risk assessment inside the same workflow and has a European base and compliance orientation, which matters under GDPR and DORA.

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.

Omnea: Does it replace our ERP?

No. It handles the request through contract stage and hands off to the finance system for purchase orders, invoicing and payment.

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.

Omnea: What does it cost?

Not published. It is an annual subscription quoted by company size and modules.

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.

Omnea: Do we still need a GRC tool?

Possibly. Omnea handles supplier due diligence well; continuous control monitoring and framework mapping remain a dedicated GRC job.
