ERP Hosting Options from DELMIAWorks

No single ERP deployment method works for every manufacturer. Your operations, budget and IT strategy are unique, so your ERP system should match them. That's why DELMIAWorks (formerly IQMS) gives you a clear choice between two deployment paths: On-Premise ERP and Cloud/Hosted Managed ERP.

Both options deliver the full power of DELMIAWorks manufacturing ERP. The difference comes down to where your system runs, who manages the hardware and how you prefer to handle the cost of ownership over time. Below, we break down each option so you can pick the right fit for your company.

With On-Premise ERP, you install and run DELMIAWorks on hardware you own and control at your own facility. Your team determines where the system lives and how it's maintained, giving you complete oversight of your manufacturing data and infrastructure.

This option carries a higher initial cost because you purchase the hardware and software up front. In return, you own perpetual software licenses, which deliver long-term value with no recurring hosting fees. For manufacturers who want full control and a fixed, one-time investment, On-Premise ERP is a proven choice.

Key benefits:

• Complete control over hardware, data and system access
• Perpetual software license that you own outright
• Fixed, one-time investment with no recurring hosting fees
• Hardware location and environment determined by you
• Ideal for teams with in-house IT resources and strict data governance needs

DELMIAWorks Cloud (HMS) for your ERP

Our Hosted Managed Services environment runs your DELMIAWorks system in a secure data center, managed for you. This option removes the worry of system performance, security and hardware maintenance from your plate, so your team can focus on running the business. It is a fully managed, single-tenant service backed by a 99.5% uptime SLA, with actual availability running near 99.99%.

Because hosting costs spread over time, you start with a lower upfront investment. The data center handles power, network, backups and redundancy, which shrinks your in-house IT footprint. Upgrades get simpler and you never have to deal with end-of-life hardware. As your needs grow, your system scales with you. Our Hosted Managed Services deployment improves the way data is accessed, scaled and maintained.

Key benefits:

• You keep the perpetual DELMIAWorks licenses you already own, while HMS provides and manages the hardware and platform they run on
• Lower upfront investment with costs spread over time
• Enterprise-grade hosting in a secure data center
• Simplified upgrades and no end-of-life hardware headaches
• Reduced in-house IT footprint and maintenance burden
• Built-in backup, redundancy and scalability as you grow

Whether you want the control of an on-premise system or the flexibility of a fully managed cloud deployment, DELMIAWorks gives you the freedom to decide. Both options run the same trusted manufacturing ERP, so you never compromise on capability.
