Looks like we are all in agreement with Greg but I'm going a bit farther.

:2cents: It looks like this software is making a huge mountain out of a very small molehill with no value added except confusion and frustration:frust:

I just started with a new company and they hired me to implement ISO 9001 and then CMMI. ....
Hello lrl116,

I think we are in the same situation. Started withn ISO then CMMI...:frust:

Regarding the Document Management System, during our research we found a very good software called KTDMS( Knowledge Tree Document Management System). It is an open source software but loaded with a lot's of function. It keeps track of the document version(everytime you check-in and check-out the document) and as well as the transaction history.

It also have a strong security system and gives you(as admin) full control to define profiles who gets to view only and who are allowed to edit. It is also equipped with an approval system(via workflow) and an email notofication system. But the greatest thing is that its FREE. You may want to check it out and download it later here.

Hope this helps.

:bigwave: EMTT

Disclaimer: I have no relation of whatsoever to the authors of KTDMS. I am just sighting it because I believe its a great software. :cool:

No axe to grind here, just a little clarification: the free version of KTDMS is severely limited in features compared to the paid versions, but even so, the prices quoted for the paid versions are not bad. Certainly, it may not be the best system for all users, but if a preliminary review seems to fit your organization, you certainly ought to make the effort to look over a demo version.

If you are after a document management system here is the one we use My DMS. I first wrote about it in early 2003 and we have been using at my company ever since.
This link has some simple guides to the use of the database by both Administrators and end users. they are a little out of date but will give you a good idea of what it can do. There are plenty of screen shots in the two manuals to guide you thru the basic processes.
The Database is constantly updated and there are forums for users requesting and offering changes. It is freeware much the same as Firefox and Open Source data. Like I said we have been suing it for three years and it works very well for us.

This is not entirely true. Open source software can be downloaded and used freely. The service the organization charges for runs on their computers, so you pay to use them, not the software per-se. Since the OP appears to be in a technical organization, it is likely not outside of their capability to implement such a system on their own servers. (I know, it's an old post so the OP has probably already solved the problem by now, but maybe someone else is looking at it too.)

Yep. One of the major frustrations of offering advice in a public Forum is the propensity of the original poster asking the question to neglect coming back to tell us how the advice turned out -
"inquiring minds want to know . . ."
  1. did he follow any of the advice?
  2. what worked?
  3. what didn't?
  4. did our advice make him a hero or a goat if he followed it?
  5. What insight did he gain for similar problems in the future?
