The use of TDOC, provides the following demonstrable benefits:

• Has the complete history for every piece of information about every document, for example TDOC keeps the history of the status allocated to a revision of a technical document,
• Obtaining comments and approvals is made very easy with the TDOC "Comment Sheet" facility,
• Enables communication with trading partners whaever IT systems and abilities they have - e.g. when sending out a TQ / RFI a simple form is attached allowing electronic reply from a basic web browser,
• Even on huge numbers of documents, finding information is fast with a powerful, refinable search facilty.

Some better ways of doing things:

• Need to make sure things are happening on time ? TDOC has an integrated SDRS (Supplier Document Requirement Schedule)
• Only want part of the document register ? TDOC's unique "document grouping" allows unlimited subsets.
• Need to know which RFI / TQ's relate to which technical document (or vice versa) ? TDOC links the two.

Compared to other types of systems:

• Most systems require that everyone on a project is forced to subscribe to it whether they want to or not.
• TDOC actually generates the basic metric information from the clerical process of handling a document, whereas an EDM System requires manual completion of a template. TDOC's information set grows automatically, whereas an EDM's template must continually be manually updated. 
• Whereas an Internet Portal just advises you of documents you must manually dopwnload them, and manually reply within the portal which does not allow you to let you know what you have done with your copies for your company which is what TDOC enables.
• TDOC's advanced design ensures that the right person has the right version of the right document at the right time.
