"We are using PowerDMS to provide access and control review and revisions across a multi-site healthcare system. It allows all of our offices to access the policies and sends the proper reminders when policies need to be reviewed. We also set up the workflows so that approval can be automatic." - Stephanie Pins, War Memorial Hospital

"PowerDMS houses all of our documents and procedures…it solves our problem with document approvals, revision control, record retention, and even verifying training effectiveness. Before, we were keeping our records in filing cabinets and it would take forever to keep up with that system. Now we just type in what we need, or what team member we’re searching for and it’s all right there." - Lydia Scott, Henry Schein

"With Public-Facing Documents and PowerDMS, in two clicks we can...ensure our citizens have access to the most current policies and procedures—the same ones our officers are referencing daily." - Lt Robert Quick, BPD

"The documents are easy to find, read and sign off on when necessary. Signatures are easily tracked and employee/user set up is easy as well." - Michelle Baca, Amerisave Mortgage

"Having the history of policy changes and providing a much more efficient way to track communication and acknowledgment makes PowerDMS well worth the investment." - Mimi Merhi, City of Henderson

"PowerDMS allows me to set a time limit on viewing an important policy or procedure. This way I have some reassurance that employees aren't just signing new policies without reading them." - Wendi Lively, Spartanburg County (SC) Emergency Communications

Top questions we get asked

Explore answers to the top questions we get asked

How is PowerDMS different from the competition?

Many policy management solutions let you store, organize, create, disseminate, and track policies. But very few create a living connection between your policies, training, and accreditation. What do we mean by living connection?

PowerDMS is an ecosystem where policy, training, and accreditation all connect and inform one another. It gives you control over a single, living version of each of your policies with useful data like signature tracking, version history, and more included. It treats each policy as a living document, able to adapt to a changing landscape and unexpected threats.

It’s true, you get what you pay for. While some of our competitors outsource development and/or customer support to other countries, PowerDMS has a U.S. based customer success team and a 97% customer satisfaction rating. Unlike many other solutions, we are subject matter experts in accreditation and can help you solve your toughest compliance challenges in a timely manner.

Between online courses, training bootcamps, dedicated Customer Success Advisors, and a fast-response service desk, we provide the resources you need to onboard and maintain PowerDMS.

What ROI can I expect from PowerDMS?

ROI will depend on your industry and organization. How long do your current policy, training, and accreditation processes take? Are they optimized and automated, or has your organization adapted to workarounds? With PowerDMS, you can expect to save 2x–4x the amount of time and money you’d typically spend on these processes. Our customers save an average of $10,000 on paper and printing costs alone. To calculate your estimated ROI with PowerDMS, use our ROI calculator tool today.

There’s also an intangible ROI, or VOI (value on investment), realized from PowerDMS in the form of accountability, trust, and risk mitigation. For example, mitigating the risk of lawsuits, fines, and brand disrepute makes a huge impact but can be hard to quantify. Policies, procedures, and training also impact organizational culture and increase employee accountability. All of this, when done well and with transparency, builds trust in your community.

To improve transparency and trust at your organization, learn more about our public-facing docs feature, which lets you share important information with your community.

What programs does PowerDMS integrate with?

PowerDMS currently integrates with the Microsoft Office and Adobe suite of tools, as well as OneDrive and Google Drive. Many integrations are coming soon, including Lexipol, Guardian Tracking, Envisage Technologies, Agency360, LEFTA Systems, and more.

We’re working towards an open API that will allow customers to integrate with any system they want for a nominal fee, depending on usage. It is currently in beta.

Although integration with any system will be possible upon release, your organization would be responsible for the connection.

Can I automate the policy review and approval process?

Yes. Our powerful workflow tools let you automate the approval process. Various policy owners/reviewers can be assigned to review and/or approve documents. Each workflow step can be assigned to users, roles, or groups with the ability to templatize the workflows so consistent process steps are completed each time it is run.

Additionally, users/groups can be included in approval workflows on an ad hoc basis, including the ability to give one-time edit rights to a document. Workflow steps can be set to different levels of response: First Response, Dynamic First Response, All Response, or Simple Vote.

Does PowerDMS let me assign policies to staff to sign?

Yes. Using our built-in, electronic signature tracking, you can assign policies to staff for acknowledgement. This ensures they have read and understood the document, and it protects your employer against future labor disputes. Attestation occurs when the user enters their username and password and clicks “sign,” or it can be completed with a thumbprint on the mobile app.

Read more
What type of content does PowerDMS support?

PowerDMS supports a wide range of content and the most common file types (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, videos, audio, etc.). Beyond policies and procedures, PowerDMS supports contracts, checklists, maps, floor plans, emergency plans, spreadsheets, memos, certifications, training records, evaluations, surveys, training videos, and more.

The recent Google Drive integration lets you upload from and edit documents within the Google Drive Suite (Docs, Sheets, etc.).

We can support the vast majority of your content needs, but if you don’t see what you need listed here, feel free to schedule a conversation with one of our team members.

Read more
Does PowerDMS let me control access to content?

Yes. With PowerDMS, the security model is set by the customer, so you have total control over who can access the information in your PowerDMS site. Users/Groups/Roles can be assigned rights including View only, Audit (reporting), and Edit. Levels of access are defined by your site administrators.
