PowerDMS

To control signed documents and published documents. To share training with staff.

We use PowerDMS to house all our organization's internal policies, documents, etc. Previously, we only had links to policies that were all structured in Word/PDF documents. PowerDMS has allowed us to organize in a much more efficient way as well as create structure and labels for a more user-friendly experience for our employees.

We use PowerDMS to manage our departmental forms and policies and other reference documents used by the agency. Our Accreditation Team also uses the software to manage all aspects of our accreditation program compliance. All employees use PowerDMS to automate training requests and many other intra-departmental communications via the PowerDMS approval workflow feature.

We use PowerDMS for all Public Safety policies as well as any internal County policies.

PowerDMS is used by UCF Student Health Services as it is an accredited entity with AAAHC (PDMS supports). ALL SHS policies/procedures are managed in PDMS as well as the majority of employee training. SHS uses PDMS to manage the assessment for AAAHC's review. The last review was in October 2021.

PowerDMS is being used as our primary document management system. Within PowerDMS we are housing all training documentation, orders, past shift schedules, and anything and everything to do with our department policies. PowerDMS has helped us to address major document management and retention issues within the department and it has helped our Training Unit become more effective in our daily work. We are now able to pull records within seconds instead of needing hours at a time to review paper files. It has helped us streamline the training process by allowing us to offer courses online that once had to be reviewed in a classroom setting. Instead of being out of compliance we are now fully in compliance and that in itself makes the product worth every penny. This has also helped us to address other document management needs within the department. All of our files are kept in one place and it's helped us keep things much more organized.

At NPD we used Power DMS to house all of our language for the department. Also, we use it for training and CALEA Accreditation.

PowerDMS is used across the whole organization. PowerDMS has made such an impact with collecting, processing, storing, and disseminating information that it is hard to imagine how we functioned pre-PowerDMS. The platform, in my role as accreditation manager, has enabled me to accurately track and update thousands of documents with the push of a button. Whereas, in the past, those same tasks would take months, to locate, update, staff, and collect signatures if necessary.

We use PowerDMS for our policy and procedures first, then we incorporated our training into the system. After we set all that up, we started using PowerDMS to manage our subpoenas. This allows us to disburse them out, track when they opened it and when they sign for it. We are able to hold employees more accountable for items with this program!

We use PowerDMS as a repository for our fillable forms, policies, and reference documents. We create and manage distributed training. We track our training and accreditation program compliance. We also share information on our policies and access to forms with the public through our Public Facing Documents page.

Our organization is utilizing PowerDMS for policy implementation, training (with tests and reviews), as well as accreditation management. As we begin rolling out our policy updates and training protocols, all employees will be given access to PowerDMS to being working on assignments. With this information we can better use the tools provided to analyze the data and improve.

It is being used across the whole organization and [I feel] the biggest issue I have seen is that it can be a little confusing to use especially for new users. For instance just to upload a document there a bunch of steps I have to go through. I am not sure if that is the company that set it up that way or if it is just the way it is.

We are using PowerDMS for everything we can. It will be our department's one-stop shop for awards, policies, documents, courses, training, etc.. I feel it is going to boost morale in my department because users are going to know their certificates/awards are visible to their Supervisor. The accreditation process is going to be smooth and also the re-accreditation will be much easier.

A police department runs on communication, and inevitably, paperwork. Adrian Police Department is leveraging PowerDMS to improve internal communication and simply workflows, document distribution, training, public access to records, policy management, and accreditation assessment. Currently, we are the only Department in our City using PowerDMS. The other Departments within the City use another product, that lacked functionality for police use. All employees and police reserve officers have access to PowerDMS, via a web-based application and smartphone app. This gives 24/7, world-wide access to all forms, schedules, and training, requiring only a web-enable device. We are also able to complete our accreditation compliance assessment within the application, using proofs that are real documents, updated in real time. In short, all business functions of the police department rely on PowerDMS, while all law enforcement functions are air-locked in a separate records management system.

PowerDMS is being used mainly by my organization as a whole to put out policies for all shifts be it night or day. They can then use this information to look up best practices. Another tool that we use is testing, You can create a test in PowerDMS that is due on a certain date and time. Then you can create a sheet that shows compliance by all employees. This helps keep everyone on the same page. Lastly, it allows me as an Accreditation Manager to comply with CALEA requirements and upload any file type to show my department holds itself to a higher standard.

Our agency uses Power DMS to conduct trainings in addition to keeping up to date with general orders and written directives. This platform helps to keep over 1,400 employees compliant and helps to greatly improve communication.

My organization utilizes PowerDMS to manage different documents in the organization. The primary use is to manage our department policies. Staff members are able to access/review/sign off on policies in the program, and PowerDMS provides reporting tools for management to track these actions. PowerDMS is also used to provide the same policies to members of our community through the public-facing documents module as an add-on to the software. We also utilize PowerDMS to manage other documents, including but not limited to training bulletins, memos, forms, user guides, and releases.

PowerDMS houses all of our policies, forms and training. Before PowerDMS we had policies on 3 different sites, now they are on one easy to search and use site. We would run into problems of policies not be updated in all spots, so now that they are in one location, updating is no longer messy and it removes room for error.

Our agency has used PowerDMS for about 8 years as Accreditation software, but we recently obtained the rights for the Training and Policy manuals. PowerDMS helps with accountability and accessibility.

We implemented PowerDMS in 2015 to manage our policy and our CALEA Accreditation. The entire department uses PowerDMS for our agencies Policy and Forms Library, Internal Training Course, and Career Development. As the Accreditation Manager, I utilize the software to manage our policy development, distribution, and tracking and document management and facilitation of our accreditation assessment.

Used for distribution of all policies and procedures, allows for easy proof of these policies being received by employees. Storage of forms used within the agency as well, easy access for everyone. Recently we've increased our online training courses issued through it as well, with easy testing to monitor retention and certificates issued to track completion.

PowerDMS is used by everyone in our organization for policy sign-offs and to view/search policies. It retains all version history and also documents when policies were signed by every employee. All policies are now in one location that can be accessed by everyone at work or remotely using the mobile app. The search feature on desktops and the mobile app makes looking for what you need very simple.

Our department uses both sides of PowerDMS (training and compliance). We use it for CALEA compliance and we also use it to send out all of our policy changes and updates. In addition, we use PowerDMS to distribute training to reduce the number of hours officers have to be off the street for training and we track training certificates from both internal and external training.

We rely on Power DMS for many things. We store our policy files through DMS, giving employees an easy method to search and study policy. We also publish new policies and policy changes through the system. Power DMS allows them to sign off on new policies both on the website and mobile app versions. They can review policy changes side by side with older policies to see what has changed.

We utilize the program for CALEA accreditation purposes as well. We are able to store proofs as they relate to our standards. We can grant access to assessors so they can view our proofs remotely.

We also utilize Power DMS for training purposes. We store training records and certificates through the program. We can publish training courses and have employees sign up for courses through Power DMS. Employees can also submit training requests to their supervisors and up the chain of command. Through training requests, they are able to provide documentation on travel/training costs.

We are also looking at using Power DMS to track equipment and uniforms issued to our employees.

We use PowerDMS across the entire organization for policy acknowledgment, training and signatures, and accreditation. The main problem PowerDMS addresses for our organization is the ability to track changes in policy and new training.
