\"IQMS<\/a>My trade show travels take me all over North America and this week me and my roller bag full of swag headed to the city of the red bullseye, Minneapolis.\u00a0 As a first timer to this city, all I knew was Target Corporation was headquartered here.\u00a0 However, this week, I and thousands of others weren\u2019t flocking here looking for a good deal.\u00a0 Instead, we came to participate in the Minnesota MEDTECH week.\u00a0 MEDTECH Week is comprised of conference education sessions, speakers and exhibitors like myself that are all in one way or another involved in the medical manufacturing industry.\u00a0 BINGO!\u00a0 That\u2019s us!<\/p>\n

MEDTECH Week 2015<\/h2>\n

The trade show floor brought together Design & Manufacturing, Plastec, Automation Technology and a Quality showcase under one convention center roof.\u00a0 When booking this event, I knew this would be right up our alley.\u00a0 The 600 aisle as a matter of fact, right across from the Cold Jet dry-ice cleaning machine.\u00a0 Who knew dry-ice broken up into little particles could clean so well and be so, um, cool?<\/p>\n

Once the show got rolling, floods of people meandered up and down the aisles.\u00a0 Little did I know that in two days I would talk to more users of our ERP software than ever before!\u00a0 From production floor users to CEO\u2019s, I talked for hours about how IQMS is keeping up with the ever changing and heavily regulated medical manufacturing industry.\u00a0 I listened to our customers challenges as a medical manufacturer and gained insight as to why IQMS continues to be their top ERP medical manufacturing software provider.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you right now, we aren\u2019t their top ERP manufacturing software provider just because I\u2019m standing in a fancy booth handing out swag.\u00a0 Customers like Phillips-Medisize, SMC Ltd. and Accumold all said, \u201cIQMS is a very powerful tool.\u201d\u00a0 IQMS software has the ability to handle their business needs, which makes them successful medical device manufacturers and industry leaders.\u00a0 Seeing that they were all exhibitors at the show too makes me realize that IQMS is in the right place.<\/p>\n

Over the course of a week I learned Minneapolis is an innovative hub for medical device manufacturing.\u00a0 This is a city where exhibitors and attendees came from all over the country to learn what’s the next best thing in the medical industry.\u00a0 I saw everything from lightning fast robots to implantable microchips.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the sales guys got some leads and I was able to bring home some positive feedback (minus the swag).\u00a0 BULLSEYE!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
