[8] In 1997, the company developed EnterpriseIQ, a manufacturing ERP software for the repetitive, process, and discrete manufacturing industries. [7] In 2011, IQMS product EnterpriseIQ 7.8.1 won the Stevie Award for "New Product or Service of the Year - Manufacturing".

[11] That month, the company also partnered with the Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County to provide two students entering college in the STEM field with a $20 thousand scholarship. [12]

In 2017, IQMS was awarded a gold Stevie Award in the customer service team of the year category, [13] and the executive of the year category, [14] as well as a silver in the large computer software company of the year category. [15]
