DocBase Direct® is a web based, document control software product that organizes, automates and simplifies the entire quality management document process for new and existing ISO 9000, ISO/TS 16949, QS-9000 or ISO 14000 certified organizations. DocBase Direct® has been the solution-of-choice by many manufacturers, service organizations and educational institutions in achieving initial ISO certification, transitioning from a previous version of a standard and providing on-going maintenance and improvement of existing ISO quality systems. The hallmarks of DocBase Direct® are its ease of implementation, ease of use and adaptability to specific customer needs while retaining all of the power and depth you expect from a world-class document control system.
Appearances can be deceiving!
Anytime you are presented with a complex problem, how many times have you struggled to find a solution only to discover (after much heartache) that the answer was actually very obvious and straightforward. This didn't make the solution less valuable, just easier to understand and more practical to implement. And simple solutions have the added benefit of being less likely to become complex problems later on.
DocBase Direct® was designed by ISO experts with real world, in-the-trenches experience with precisely with these thoughts in mind. Document and workflow management, in its broadest definition, can be a very complex problem. DocBase Direct® is a well-designed document management system that expresses solutions to document management problems by simple and practical means. This does not mean the problems it solves don't have complexity and depth, it simply means that the path to the solutions of those problems is so thoroughly understood that it is not necessary to present the solutions as complex and for its own sake.
If you've decided to switch to an electronic document management system, don't be deceived by first appearances. Just because the product has twenty-two modules and forty-seven pull-down menus doesn't necessarily mean that it will solve your unique problem in the simplest manner possible with the lowest impact to your workforce. Seemingly complex solutions have a nasty habit of becoming complex problems later on down the road. Simple solutions solve the same problems but in such a way that your employees will actually use it.
