Hello folks,

First post - so if I've dropped this in the wrong area, or if this has been answered recently elsewhere, please feel free to push me over to the right information.

Here goes.....

I've used various EDMS systems, but am now asking the question as to whether there is an off the shelf basic database solution for the use on a network, that the Document Controllers can uinput to and report from.

Basic functionality covering - entering details of transmittals received to the company, onward transmission of those, and the creation and send out of transmittals being generated by the company. With acknowledgement of receipt/returns etc.

Looking for a step up from the creating of ones own excel registry, and somewhere back from a full cloudtype EDMS solution.

Any ideas? I've spotted a solution TDOC via the web, but am looking for any other similar examples that you guys may have seen/used in the past.

Hello TartanScott, and welcome to the Cove :bigwave:

Personally I am unfamiliar with off the shelf systems, as we are using a homegrown Sharepoint application, but this topic has been turned inside out several times here, so you I'm sure you will get answers.
In the mean time, I see a few links to similar threads at the bottom of the page under our posts. Then, I suggest a search (see the menu bar at the top of the page) for "document control" software.

Thank you Claes,

I've wandered through the links, I think to be honest I'm asking a question that has been asked many times in different guises, yet has never really been resolved.

The organisation I am with is likely to go down homegrown, not on Sharepoint unfortunately.....shame, used it on the last job. However, some management are keen to understand what is wrong with a simple excel/access solution.

Will keep reading through the posts :rolleyes:

You are right in both cases: Threads with similar questions are all over the place, and can never be truly resolved, as needs and requirements vary so much. To put it another way, "one size does not fit all. There is no reason for a Mom & Pop shop to have a system set up like NASA.
However, some management are keen to understand what is wrong with a simple excel/access solution.
In short: Absolutely nothing, if that fits your needs.
