Overall Satisfaction with PowerDMS
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 The updates were printed and handed to each employee and we trusted them to remove the outdated policy and replace it, however not sure that got done.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.
