TechDoc is intended to provide an easy way to manage documents of any type while being web-based, ISO 9000 compliant, NPR 2810.1 compliant, standards based (HTML, HTTP, HTTPS, XML, Java), security customizable to the document level, inexpensive even with thousands of creators and tens of thousands of readers, and portable across hardware, operating systems, databases and browsers.
TechDoc is a distributed, portable document management system designed for the management of any type of document or file. The system is web-based and provides for an electronic means to:
- Manage documents through their entire life cycle; create, modify, release, and delete.
- Provide extensive per-document security and access controls.
- Provide full history tracking of every document's life cycle.
- Provide electronic notification of document events.
- Provide ad-hoc reporting capabilities.
- Provide revision control of approved documents.
- Distribute released/published documents to the user community.
- Provide full text search and retrieval of published documents.
- Provide watermarked PDF versions of released documents.
- Provide for on-line review and approval of documents.
The TechDoc system is written in Java. It has the capability to store any electronic file type, such as audio, video, CAD drawings, not just traditional documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.). It has a Windows Explorer like interface with folders and documents to allow for the hierarchical organization of documents. It also functions as a distribution system for documents allowing them to be accessible to only one or two people with a valid username and password, to a group of people, or even globally to anyone who can access the server. The system has granular security down to the per-document level and to the privileges assigned to each user. The system provides full history tracking for audit and security purposes. The system also contains an ad-hoc reporting capability to create and run reports in various formats (HTML, XML, CSV). In addition, user-defined metadata is supported.
