PowerDMS by NEOGOV

About a year ago, I was made the Accreditation Manager for my division (Corrections/County Sheriff's Office). I cannot imagine trying to do my job without PowerDMS by NEOGOV. I deal with policies all day long, and I had an audit pretty early on in my tenure. PowerDMS by NEOGOV was invaluable before, during, and after the audit.

At our police department, we were struggling to manage forms and every officer had a different version of the form that they had saved or printed somewhere and there was no consistency. We also were using a printed policy and procedure manual which was not updated very often. The updates were printed and handed to each employee and we trusted them to remove the outdated policy and replace it, however not sure that got done. Now with the PowerDMS Solution, all employees (sworn and non-sworn), can easily search for any form, policy, contract, agreement, etc. and have full confidence they have the current version for increased consistency. We also use PowerDMS to document every employees training throughout the year and also through their career. Beyond that, we use PowerDMS to create courses, and assign certificates complete with tests and surveys on a variety of topics. I would highly recommend this product and am so glad that we found this company when we did. The onboarding process was very smooth and they held our hands as we developed "our" system. If you are on the fence, give this a try - you'll be glad that you did.

PowerDMS is a crucial aspect of CFAI accreditation management for our department. Policies, procedures, and accreditation documents themselves are easily managed. Review and revision of documents through workflows ensures compliance.

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.

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.
