IQS, which has been developing quality management software for 20 years, is planning a major upgrade to its product line. At a recent customer event, IQS unveiled version 6.8 of its Quality Performance Management product and said that the new offering will serve as the foundation for a Web-based product under development at the privately held company. Expected to be available around the end of the second quarter of 2007, the Web-based product will have the same functionality as version 6.8 of Quality Performance Management and a similar user interface. Going forward, IQS intends to focus development efforts on a Java-based Web architecture. "We don't plan to retire 6.8, but we do plan to freeze it," said Michael Rapaport, IQS's president and CEO, in announcing the company's Web development strategy. Advantages of the Web product, according to the company, include access from any browser, greater modularity, easier configuration, and lower total cost of ownership. Now at the mid-point in its development timetable, with code migration in progress, IQS invited customers to join its Manufacturing Quality Assurance Cooperative and participate in alpha and beta testing.
