Hi everyone

Can anyone enlighten me on any software available for centralised documentation control. I know something like that does exist. What i want from the software is this: i shall have it instaleld on a centralised comp. and have my documents stored on that comp. whenever changes are made to any document, the doc is stored as a new version, and an email notification should be sent to the people on the distribution lit of that document announcing the revision, and provide a link tothe new upgraded document. While vss does take care of version control, it doesnt serve auto n otification.....

Regards
Priya

Yes, there is software for it, but I have not been out shopping for a number of years now (we use a home made application), so I can't really suggest any particular application. No fear, though: Others will be more up to date.

I moved your thread to the Documentation Systems, Procedures, Forms and Templates forum. We will probably get more answers here.

Doc Control Software

Priya,

I am new to Quality and have been searching for document control and/or
document management software. I found a couple that you might be interested in. I would also be interested in what others in the forum might
have to say about these systems. The 2 systems I am currently evaluating are (1) Q-Pulse from Quality America and (2) Policy and Procedure Manager
Professional from Policy Technologies. They are both about the same price.
Q-Pulse seems to be the better built (prettier) of the two but the Policy and Procedure Manager Professional seems to be easier to work with. I am leaning toward Policy and Procedure Manager Professional because of ease of use, but both seem to have the functionality I am looking for. Hope this helps and I would appreciate any comments from the rest of you, especially about Policy and Procedure Manager Professional.

Good Luck,
Gary

Q-Pulse

I have been the administrator of Q-Pulse for my company for over three years now. We are in Aerospace manufacturing. I think that the software is very easy to use (no need for IT support) and has met our needs for streamlining our QMS processes and providing evidence of compliance.
In fact about a year ago, I decided to become a reseller of the software myself. I try not to get involved in these posts looking for QMS software...because I do stand to benefit from recommending it. (I was admonished once before). :eek: But trust this or not....I was recommending it long before I started the business. Q-Pulse may not be the best fit for every company, but it has worked great for us.
Anyway, there have been several posts mentioning Q-Pulse, and I find no reason why I shouldn't offer to answer questions for those who are interested. Of course the moderators have the power to disagree. ;)
