Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use PowerDMS to achieve accreditation from CALEA. It is currently being used in just our department. It gathers the information that you need readily.
Pros
  • One place for all information
  • Use of gathering information for reference
  • Allows others to assist you at looking at your information
Cons
  • Less SMALL checkboxes
  • Don't have restrictions on what text font you use. I have to retype entire documents because the program can't read the font.
  • Less restriction on video uploads. In CALEA you can use a video to cover a lot of proofs you can only have it in one format and it isn't the format the computer saves it as.
Likelihood to Recommend
If the problems get fixed and you are not told "yes we have a group working on that " for a year then I think my rating would go up.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our entire organization has access to policies and procedures in PowerDMS. There is a smaller group of people who have access to standards and editing functions.
Pros
  • Being internet based it can be viewed anywhere.
  • Electronic signatures are very easy to track.
Cons
  • When setting up users sometimes the security settings are difficult to figure out.
  • Any other issues I had in the past have all been updated and fixed.
Likelihood to Recommend
Any business that needs employees to be able to view documents would benefit from PowerDMS. It is easy to edit documents. When you need several people to approve a document before it is published it is easy to set up a workflow so others can view the changes.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use PowerDMS for our CALEA accreditation. Currently, the accreditation manager and the accreditation team within the Staff Services, Planning, and Communication Section are the main users for this system, even though we have licenses for 100 employees. The system allows the agency to document and highlight proofs of compliance to maintain its national accreditation.
Pros
  • PowerDMS has outstanding customer service. The success community, webinars, training information sheets, and customer service representatives are top of exceptional quality.
  • The system is fairly easy to navigate and intuitive. There are not a whole lot of complex codes to do what is needed.
  • The ability to update forms and documents while maintaining copies of what was changed is helpful when determining when and what changes have been made in regards to agency accreditation compliance.
Cons
  • One of the biggest issues associated with using PowerDMS is that its security allows for certain roles. However, it is sometimes confusing to determine which role you are viewing.
  • In setting up roles a person has to be set up using multiple roles and know how to navigate from one role to another to view documents and assign tasks.
  • The ability to highlight small sections in PDF'S would be nice. The system allows the highlights in HTML to be word by word but in PDF'S you sometimes have to highlight more than you want because of the way the system drags the highlights.
Likelihood to Recommend
PowerDMS is great for accreditation and policy maintenance. Since we only use it for these solutions, I have no issues where I would state that it is not as well suited.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
PowerDMS is being used for our Accreditation as well as managing documents, and compliance for other standards.
Pros
  • Is frequently updated with new features and bug fixes
  • Has an easy to use UI to navigate
  • Makes Document Management a breeze via search and upload
Cons
  • Had issues with support in the past but not recently
  • We can't migrate an in house program to PowerDMS yet but are confident that the requirements we need will be met in the future
Likelihood to Recommend
PowerDMS has many great uses. One use we use frequently is the test taking feature. It's nice to use that to maintain training and accreditation. The ability to search documents, and in documents, if very powerful, and is often used when looking for specific SOPS and information. Signing documents with timestamps is great as well.
