Anonymized insights from our practice.
From an oversized legacy system to an integrated solution with Power QMS & Power CI
Starting point
For years the customer ran a classic, monolithic QM system. The solution was overloaded with features, hard to maintain and barely usable for employees in day-to-day operations. On top of that came significant annual license and maintenance costs – without the system really reflecting the international, multilingual organization. An end-to-end link between quality management and continuous improvement was completely missing.
Solution with Power IMS
With Power QMS and Power CI the customer deliberately chose two modules that integrate seamlessly into the existing Microsoft 365 environment. Document control, actions and CIP initiatives now run on a single, multilingual platform. Employees work where they already are – in Teams, SharePoint and Outlook – without media breaks and without an additional login.
Results
- Significant reduction in annual license and operating costs compared to the legacy system
- Multilingual usage across all international sites
- Quality management and CIP linked end-to-end for the first time
- High user adoption thanks to native Microsoft 365 integration
- Foundation laid to gradually add further Power IMS modules
«We wanted to move away from a system that was too big, too expensive and too complex for our reality. With Power QMS and Power CI we not only saved license costs – we finally have a solution our teams across the world actually use.»
— Head of Quality Management, manufacturing company
Replacing a complex QM platform – combined with a fundamental document clean-up
Starting point
The customer had a comprehensive, highly complex QM platform in place that suffered from low user acceptance. Operating and maintaining it was time-consuming, and over the years a heavily grown, partly redundant set of documents had accumulated. The international, multilingual organization could only be reflected in a limited and inconsistent way.
Solution with Power IMS
The introduction of Power QMS was used as the opportunity to structurally clean up, recategorize and consistently rebuild the entire document base in multiple languages. The solution runs directly within the customer's Microsoft 365 environment – lean, intuitive and immediately usable for employees across all sites.
Results
- Significantly higher user acceptance thanks to a familiar Microsoft 365 experience
- Consolidated and cleaned-up document base with a clear structure
- Multilingual usage across all international sites
- Reduced administrative effort for the QM team
- Solid basis to gradually extend with further Power IMS modules
«Replacing the old platform was our chance to also declutter our document landscape. Power QMS helped us create order – and finally have a QM system that our employees around the world actually enjoy using.»
— Head of Quality Management, manufacturing company

Non-profit organization replaces an outdated QM tool with a fully integrated Microsoft 365 solution
Starting point
For years the organization used an aging QM tool that was technically outdated and hindered day-to-day work more than it supported it. Updates were cumbersome, the user experience felt dated, and there was no link to the Microsoft 365 tools already in place.
Solution with Power IMS
By introducing Power QMS, the organization consistently moves to a fully integrated solution within its existing Microsoft 365 environment. Document control and processes live where employees already work every day – without an additional platform and without media breaks.
Results
- Replacement of an outdated QM tool with a modern, integrated solution
- Clear single-language usage matching the organization
- Lower maintenance and training effort thanks to Microsoft 365 standards
- Higher user acceptance through a familiar interface
- Solid foundation to gradually add more modules
Association replaces overly complex QM tools and bets fully on Microsoft 365
Starting point
Several QM tools were in use that were far too complex for the actual needs of the organization. Maintaining them was time-consuming, user acceptance was low – and the setup did not fit the otherwise clearly Microsoft 365-oriented IT landscape.
Solution with Power IMS
With Power QMS the organization deliberately moves to a fully integrated solution within Microsoft 365. Processes, documents and actions live in a lean, single-language environment that can be used directly from Teams, SharePoint and Outlook.
Results
- Replacement of multiple complex tools with a single integrated solution
- Significantly lower training and support effort
- Consistent alignment with the existing Microsoft 365 strategy
- Higher user acceptance through a simple, familiar experience
- Clear basis to add further Power IMS modules in the future
Transport company replaces CMS-based QM with a fully integrated Microsoft 365 solution
Starting point
Quality management was previously built on a classic CMS tool. Content quickly became outdated, updates were time-consuming and the system stood isolated next to the Microsoft 365 tools used every day. For the multilingual, international workforce this created an additional break in everyday work.
Solution with Power IMS
With Power QMS the existing CMS-based QM is replaced by a fully integrated Microsoft 365 solution. Content is maintained and consumed where employees already work – multilingual, easy to access and close to the tools already in use such as Teams, SharePoint and Outlook.
Results
- Replacement of an isolated CMS tool with an integrated Microsoft 365 solution
- More up-to-date content through easier maintenance directly in the work environment
- Multilingual usage for the international workforce
- Simplest possible experience for several hundred employees
- Consistent embedding of QM into the existing Microsoft 365 strategy
