The use of TDOC, provides the following demonstrable
benefits:
- The latest management methodologies,
- A truly scaleable solution, suitable for use on almost any type and
size of project,
- Automated generation of all the industry specific documents required
to operate a contract in accordance with the terms of the contract AND
ISO 9000,
- Regardless of the passage of time and personnel, reliable records are
quickly and easily produced.
- The Commercial Advantage of using a proven system
with an excellent track record.
Compared to other types of systems:
- TDOC carries out document CONTROL as opposed to document management
(EDM).
- TDOC manages the inevitable mixture of paper and electronic documents
whereas Internet Portals have difficulty with paper let alone non
existent documents (Transmittals sent for Advice Only).
- The methodologies encapsulated within TDOC have been proven on
thousands of contracts and projects from a few hundred thousand pounds
to hundreds of millions.
Compared to developing an in-house system:
- TDOC is priced such that it will always be cheaper to purchase TDOC
than to develop an alternative, whether for simple single user, or
complex multi user projects.
- Whereas in house development is a "continuous drain on resources",
TDOC isn't. In house systems require to be maintained and developed.
Very rarely will a serious in house developer remain "product
manager" for the necessary decade.
- With in-house development, report layouts are normally "hardwired"
to meet a committee's requirements. If a specific client REQUIRES
changes, these are expensive to carry out. TDOC includes ReportPro
allowing report layouts to be changed quickly and easily.
- The languages that are used in-house tend to be script based (such as
Microsoft Access or Visual Basic) rather than a Rapid Application
Development tool which will generate machine executable programmes.
CA-VO generates C++ code incorporating Pascal where appropriate.
- The scalability of in-house systems is always a problem due to the
development route: adding a client server engine results in a different
piece of software: TDOC uses "Advantage" which has a "local"
database driver which works on its own for single user setup, but which
recognises when aclient server engine is controlling the data. NO
CHANGES are needed to the software or to the installation !
