Overall Satisfaction with PowerDMS
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 used to utilize Lexipol for policy review, but moved to Power DMS because of some of Lexipol's limitations. Power DMS is just a much more robust program. There are so many uses and features beyond simple policy collection and management. Their Success community and Champions program allows users to receive remote training.
