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.

Oracle ERP Cloud

  • Every UK G-Cloud listing for Oracle ERP Cloud is an implementation or consulting service from a partner such as PwC, Wipro or Goaco, with no supplier published per unit licence price on G-Cloud, AWS Marketplace or GSA

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.

Oracle ERP Cloud: Does Oracle ERP Cloud offer a free trial?

Oracle ERP Cloud provides trial environments and demos for prospects. Organizations should contact Oracle directly to request a trial or demo of the ERP Cloud platform.

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.

Oracle ERP Cloud: How is Oracle ERP Cloud priced?

Oracle ERP Cloud uses subscription-based pricing with custom quotes based on deployment size and modules selected. Organizations must contact Oracle sales for pricing tailored to their specific needs.

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.

Oracle ERP Cloud: What modules are included in Oracle ERP Cloud?

Oracle ERP Cloud includes core modules for accounting, procurement, supply chain, project management, and manufacturing. Additional modules and applications can be added based on business requirements.

Source
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.
