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.

What do you like best about PowerDMS?

PowerDMS is a comprehensive, integrated system to manage not only your policies, but all your relevant information. This tool can be customized; it is easy to search; multiple documents can be linked; and everything, including prior revisions can be searched. It is so powerful that is a little difficult to fully understand and appreciate everything this system can do when you are first introduced to it. But when you stick with it, you will find it is amazing. And, with the online tutorials, it is easy to see new possibilities or get a refresher on what components you do not use on a regular basis. For any agency that is accredited or seeking accreditation, this is a tool you will want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerDMS?

While there is nothing I dislike, as I mentioned earlier, PowerDMS is such a robust system that it can be a little overwhelming at first. it is not really an intuitive system, but clearly worth using it. The more you use it, the better you understand and can use the capabilities to your advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PowerDMS:

Do not let the initial implementation overwhelm you. It does take some time to fully realize just how integrated PowerDMS is and the value it can bring to your organization. The more you use it, the better you understand the value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The primary use of PowerDMS is to provide comprehensive management of our policies. We can easily track revisions, review by personnel, comprehension via testing and timeline. We can link associated policies and documents, search by key words or tags and easily show compliance with accreditation standards. With the archive feature, it is easy to search prior revisions to investigate professional responsibility complaints that are made well past the incident in question. This is a "bonus" feature in helping us manage external liability and internal compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would enjoy having the ability to track more counseling and disciplinary matters into PowerDMS. That it the biggest drawback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PowerDMS?

The online training is relatively simple to navigate, and document workflows are very accessible for most tech skill levels. The ability to assigning training to be completed at the discretion of the employee, while monitored by administration has been very useful. Also, dashboarding adds excellent at-a-glance monitoring as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerDMS?

There are folders and subfolders. That makes it challenging to maintain clear pathways. However, there appears to be changes in the works, so hopefully this is a thing of the past. Also, there is opportunity to improve training management to allow for an "instructor" experience for multiple staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PowerDMS:

If you need online document management and training, this is a great product. While functionality is solid for both, PowerDMS staff are constantly adding new features. For the price, the ability to manage ongoing/completed training of staff is a big deal. There is quite a bit of room for growth for the downloadable app, but there a person can view most of what they would need to from their phone or tablet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Access to most current versions of our most important documents, and the ability to maintain training for 150 staff with a variety of professional needs and huge schedule variation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PowerDMS?

I love that I can store all of my documents on an outside cloud for retention. I enjoy being able to edit right from the PowerDMS software as well as then sending it throughout my organization using the workflow system without have to touch a piece of paper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerDMS?

I have no dislikes. Some things like courses are a little more challenging but I like a good challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PowerDMS:

Its an effortless thought. The software works. Its easy to use and having all three components, Policy, Training and Accreditation, I can toggle between documents within the system to create proofs for my assessments. I like the fact that I don't have to store a single piece of paper and that I can access my documents from anywhere! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The way that my organization works on the Detention side of the agency is that I maintain all my documents so when something is needing immediate attention I can update and modify the document or course from anywhere using PowerDMS mobile. I realize being able to work remote is a huge benefit because if I am away from my desktop I can log into PowerDMS and access all my documents loaded into the cloud. This has assisted me in immediately resolving tasks for my command staff when I am off site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PowerDMS?

I like that we can track our approval process for policies and procedures and who has reviewed and signed policies.

The highlighting function in the PowerDMS standards module is clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have saved time, paper, and money not making hardcopies of all policies and procedures. We have also reduced errors by ensuring that the most current policy is the one the employee is looking at not one that this old because they haven't updated their hard copy manual.

Recommendations to others considering PowerDMS:

If you were interested in an easy way to manage policies, accreditation and training EowerDMS is a great option. The staff has been incredibly nice and made on-boarding easy. The software itself is intuitive making the learning process simple but staff certainly point you in the right direction to make the on-boarding process easier for your employees as well. I utilize this product every day and am finding new uses regularly. It's a great product and great company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Policy, training and accreditation management are our primary uses of PowerDMS. We design training in the software, assign it to users and track progress.
