Avis clients sur PULZ Document Control System

Incredible DMS system PULZ

Avantages :

Collaboration meet with fully automated document life cycle, organize & user friendly to maintain for high volume of project documentations, reduce manpower and efficiency integrated with our existing software.

Inconvénients :

No "U-Turn" to Review stage once workflow stage moved to Comment Compilation, compiler need to offline circulate the documents to additional reviewers if required.

A very versatile, robust and configurable document control system

Avantages :

This is a real Project document control system, not just a document management tool. It has been developed and evolved based on business users needs, experience and feedback. It adds the control layer usually missing in most document management software to ensure effective project document control: - document lifecycle tracking, highly configurable - configurable milestones gates with associated progress %, planned/forecast/actual dates - allows progress tracking and measurement, with some automation options based on selected events (workflows, transmissions...) - electronic review and approval workflows, with due dates, reminders, various options for commenting, comment sheet generation if needed, review compilation and review codes - transmittal module, very configurable, with good tracking of pending replies - possibility to manage full project portfolio once the system is implemented, without going back to the vendor - relying on SharePoint environment, each project environment can be easily enhanced to become a project portal by adding some more standard SharePoint components - Possible to add a full correspondence management module with actions tracking

Inconvénients :

Relying on SharePoint has pros and cons. There are a few constraints due to SharePoint and Microsoft environments.

Overall Performance

Commentaires : In overall, PULZ still manage to bridge the main identified gaps in IFS, such as document submission by contractors and parallel review.

Avantages :

Desired Feature - Parallel Review and allow to integrate with IFS.

Inconvénients :

Not ease to use. E.g Distribution Matrix , launch workflow and general reporting only with the raw data .

Simplicity

Commentaires : With the other Giants in the market, PULZ provides simplicity and it carries the fundamentals of SharePoint with it. With proper tech support and corresponding with the rightly configured hardware, it would the simplest DM solution in the market.
However, Engineering data management to complement proper PLM still lacks and PULZ could holistically look into this as future enhancements. As far as a DM solution which covers a PDCA cycle, PULZ conforms to the requirement quite well.

Avantages :

It is SharePoint based, hence the GUIs are extremely familiar with relation to other Microsoft Products which keeps the standard features extremely user friendly.

Inconvénients :

While PULZ is a customized SharePoint platform, the lags and limitations are still there but can be improved as it progresses. Again, it's not the system but the processes. Limit the customization and increase user efficiency. Product improvement is a collective effort.

Renewable Energy Project with PULZ Document Control SYstem

Commentaires : Puzl help us to planify, track, comment and approved documents at every step of our projects.
Every option necessary on major engineering project are available and easy to configure.

Avantages :

It is the easiest Doc Control system i have used in the last 10 years, really intuitive and complete.

Inconvénients :

Maybe a small improvement to select several documents to send with a transmittal would be useful. But without that, it's still ok

7 Months use of product on a already ongoing project

Commentaires : Fast and easy web-based DMS which was good for Vendor Documentation. Since I haven't been able to use all options in the system yet, I cannot give feedback about that. But with excelent help of the Pulz Support team, we were able to get the documents into Pulz quickly.

Avantages :

Completing review tasks is very easy, since multiple reviewers can review simultaneously

Inconvénients :

Getting suppliers to correctly upload the documents into Pulz

EDCS

Commentaires : no comments

Avantages :

system is customized to what end user needs, and they have no chance to say 'No', 'Didn't receive' etc

JK's EDCS review

Commentaires : We have a centralized business management system that leveraging on EDCS capabilities. It helps the organization to store all controlled document in a systematic approach.

Avantages :

Seamless integration with SharePoint platform, user experience of this system is very intuitive

Inconvénients :

Customizing certain metadata for new project site may not be so straight forward

Basic functionality is there but can be better

Commentaires : The implementation strategy created confusion to the users as the system being branded with different name - BMS DC vs EDCS. Software functionality for SharePoint is there but does not utilise integration with other Office365 modules. Example, utilizing PowerBI to provide document status dashboard

Avantages :

Rarely have downtime. The software serve the purpose for going through document review and approval process

Inconvénients :

Need to have better design of user interface to ease access to relevant document. Suggest to have UI analyst at design and build phase System implementation will not be effective with lack of change management

Flexible to enhance to suit different client needs

Avantages :

Very flexible to tweak the system to support different client and different project, features can also be enhanced as per our request

Inconvénients :

Overall satisfied with the solution, but it will be better if we can have more project reports
