PowerDMS Overview

What is PowerDMS?

PowerDMS is a policy and compliance management platform for high-trust organizations. PowerDMS is the leading, cloud-based platform bringing compliance to life through policy, training, and accreditation management solutions. PowerDMS provides a secure, cloud-based repository to manage policy and procedure documents throughout the entire lifecycle. Develop, review, approve, distribute, and track every policy with confidence, knowing that only one version exists, old versions are archived, and every instance is up-to-date after revisions. This creates a single source of truth for all your policy content. With a platform like PowerDMS, you get an ecosystem where key management solutions and tools connect and inform one another. It gives you control over a single, living version of every document, so when you update a policy, for example, every instance of it in your training, public-facing documents, and accreditation systems is updated as well. In other words, PowerDMS brings compliance to life.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about PowerDMS?

PowerDMS is a very user-friendly web platform designed for file and training management. The platform allows for personalization of files sorting, training course implementation, and training record tracking. The system allows for quick mass reporting of each attribute. The platform also allows for master admin users to allow others outside of the organization to participate in various features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerDMS?

The only issue at this point is the inability to break down training hours into separate categories for reporting purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PowerDMS:

The platform is user-friendly and easy to navigate. I would highly recommend this platform to others who are looking for a better way to consolidate records and documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerDMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are eliminating bulky paper files by uploading all training records, policies, and procedures into DMS for a central depository. This allows for multiple people to view and edit working forms. The work flow feature allows for real-time review and feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PowerDMS?

Course Creation and Certificate management. The course creation and online hosting of the course material have helped us to minimize the need for Role Call Training. This allows us to have more time to plan more important training such as those that have to do with University compliance. We use the certificates side of the software on a daily basis to help maintain training records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerDMS?

Inability to customize areas of the website. PowerDMS has good backbones but does not allow a user to customize views of the website. It would be nice if we could create specific profile types for each user group so that they could see their own training records and other details as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PowerDMS:

I would recommend this product to any agency looking to perfect their documentation process and training section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerDMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving training issues with the use of PowerDMS. We have been able to reduce the amount of classroom time and have many of our training now online. The largest benefit we get out of using PowerDMS is the organizational component of having everything digitized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PowerDMS?

I love the simplicity of the system. From the program administrator side to the end user, nothing is complicated. There was very little training needed to the end user upon implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerDMS?

Until the apps were made available the logging in system on a mobile device was a shortfall however the apps changed the game. I wish there were some inneroperabilities with other records management systems allowing some of the data to be fed between systems. We are forced to go into each system and change assignments and levels with each individual’s move. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PowerDMS:

Take the step. If cost is your challenge, find a way. This will enhance your employee’s experience and hold them accountable all at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerDMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Providing training, programs, and policies to all employees with the ability to verify completion allows us to not only ensure employees have the information available but also provides a level of accountability. We began with policies and general orders in the early onset and moved on to presentations, testing, training, and quality questionnaires. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product is simple to learn, understand and use. There is very little training time needed to go live with this product for the end users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall the product is great, however then enrolling in a course there are many clicks that have to happen before you can actually enroll. This is very frustrating for the end user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerDMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using this primarily for training and CALEA accreditations. We've also set it up for use with the NYSSA and have most recently moved our procedures into the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PowerDMS?

The capability of house all policies within one software. Within the software you can manage who reviews the policy/policies and when they manage them. If the appropriate people do not review the policy, reports are available for administrators to track which policies need to be reviewed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerDMS?

There is nothing that I currently dislike. My organization is currently dealing with access issues due to a recent software update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerDMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use PowerDMS to store and manage organizational documents. Our organization has over 1,000 employees and this makes it easy for all to access. We set up reminders for the review of policies and set up workflows so the document goes to the appropriate person. The reports make it easy to manage the documents that are past due. The online chat is a great feature and the employees are wonderful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been able to use PowerDMS to put all of our property inspections, permits and individual certifications and set up alerts when they will be expiring to keep us in compliance and reduce late fees or fines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It makes it easy to push policy, policy changes, and roll call training to my agency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The roll call training feature could be a little more robust; I'd like to be able to upload PowerPoints with the embedded videos intact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our agency has a way of disseminating policy to the troops in a paperless manner and tracking reception of policy and completion of roll call training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
