What is PowerDMS by NEOGOV?

PowerDMS by NEOGOV is a software platform designed to recruit, train, equip, and protect employees across their careers, used for policy management, community engagement, and staff scheduling.

The PowerDMS platform includes the following solutions:

  • PowerPolicy - A cloud-based repository to manage policies and procedures across their entire lifecycle used to develop, review, approve, distribute, and track every policy with confidence, knowing that only one published version exists.
  • PowerStandards - Accreditation software that streamlines the management of policies and compliance documentation. PowerDMS works with 60+ accrediting bodies to publish their standards manuals on PowerStandards.
  • PowerEngage (formerly CueHit) - A citizen engagement software and feedback solution for law enforcement, emergency communications, fire, and EMS. Keeps citizens informed and measures satisfaction to boost morale with an automated solution.
  • PowerTime (formerly PlanIt Schedule) - a personnel scheduling software for law enforcement, emergency communications, fire, and EMS. It keeps responders informed, reduces time spent scheduling, and helps users maintain proper staffing levels.
  • PowerFTO (formerly Agency360) - Manages, tracks, and measures on-the-job training for law enforcement, emergency communications, EMS, and corrections, to ensure employees have everything they need to be successful in any new role throughout an agency.
  • PowerLine - Includes a nationwide network of peer volunteers so responders can connect with someone who shares challenges. It can be used to support a team’s wellbeing and enhance a department’s wellness program with an anonymous mobile app designed specifically for first responders.

  • Document review reminders
  • Workflows
  • Employee e-signatures for important documents
Cons
  • Allowing modifications to existing workflows

  • No ability to print comment on documents without "editing on desktop"

Great product, but it can always improve!

  • PowerDMS makes collaborative policy writing easy. It allows you to have multiple sign-off options which help to ensure that users agree before a policy is fully approved. The notes section allows for changes to be suggested without multiple people accessing the document at a given time.
  • Training and Documentation Storage is wonderful inside PowerDMS. The folders feature allows you to sort material and different types of documentation as if you had a copyright in front of you. The different file type uploading option for documents makes it so we can also store videos.
  • Accreditation assessments are a breeze with PowerDMS. I love all of the features of the assessment. I am able to schedule task reminders to pop up for standards that are coming due. You can choose a file that you've already uploaded on PowerDMS as a proof and this feature is also very nice.
Cons
  • PowerDMS does not allow you the ability to reassign a document or policy to an individual without republishing an already signed off document. This makes remedial training very hard and cumbersome because everytime one individual needs to review a policy we have to republish it for the entire department.
  • Users cannot receive individual notifications for documents or policies. This is a big issue when it comes to our Personnel Orders which are stored within PowerDMS because people only receive a group notification. If the developers would create this it would make the product much more user-friendly.
  • As of right now, PowerDMS is a very functional, but basic software. The lack of customization, outside of website photos and material, is very problematic for end users. If users had a place to store and manage their own records it would be very helpful. As of right now, our training team is storing them under each user's file tab, but the users themselves do not have access. When we are in a situation where we need a person's entire file it makes it difficult to have to go through and print every certificate individually.
