What is BlinkDMS?

BlinkDMS is a lightweight DMS (Document Management System) for small companies (~500 employees) or other organizations. It is focused on version management and a controlled release process.

Difference to other DMS systems:

designed for the usage in a (medical) regulated environment (ISO13485, FDA CFR820)
documents are organized in a flexible folder system, so people find documents in an intuitive way
strict separation of the working area of released documents and documents under construction

Features:

target area: industrial research, development, production
max number of documents or versions: just limited by the memory volume, designed for millions of docs
typical number of users: 100, but theoretically unlimited (some GUI elements will be improved for larger numbers in the future)
area of usage: cooperation, workflow, regulated doc archiving, need for released documents
special scope: regulated (medical) industries under e.g. ISO13485, FDA CFR820, ready for software validation (not included in the documentation)
electronic signature support, if configured: password validation required in the approval process
optional automatic conversion from word to PDF, including document-ID, title and approval data injection
separate working areas for released and unreleased documents, no hassle with retrieving unreleased docs
possible to integrate with other systems
time of system implementation: install 2h; configuration: 10 minutes
