DocMgr includes context-sensitive Help. Learn more...

DocMgr comes with context-sensitive help. All of the major functions within the software are summarized and explained. Also included within Help are definitions of terms found on MSDSs.

DocMgr website can easily be 'branded'. Learn more...

Branding allows your company logo to appear in place of the HAZMIN® logo and your corporate color scheme to replace LOGICAL's default colors. Branding software increases acceptability by the casual user.

DocMgr terms can easily be customized. Learn more...

All DocMgr "terms" can be customized to match your in-house terminology. If you want to change "HAZMIN Number" to your "Company Number", change it. If you have "SKU's" or "Part Numbers" instead of "Stock Numbers", change it. For example, if you are a hospital and you want to call your "Locations", "Wards", change it once and it will be changed throughout the entire software and in 'Help'. The flexible field naming will assure that you can use terminology which is best understood by all users. Like "Branding", the use of recognized terminology increases acceptability by the casual user.

DocMgr only requires a browser and Adobe Reader on the desktop. Learn more...

DocMgr is 100 % browser-based and should work with any popular browser. DocMgr only requires Acrobat Reader to be installed on the desktop to read PDF files. No other software or plug-ins are required on the user's desktop.

DocMgr has no client side java or VB Scripts. There is a little JavaScript used in the browser to improve the user interface. All computations are performed in the SQL database and all programming is handled on the web server.

DocMgr requires a Windows server running Microsoft IIS. Learn more...

DocMgr web pages are designed to work on a Windows server running Microsoft's Internet Information Services. DocMgr utilizes Microsoft's Active Server Pages and SQL statements to communicate with the DocMgr database.

Sizing of the web server depends on your plan for DocMgr. A dedicated web server is rarely justified. Quite often the web server and the database server may be the same machine. As we work to determine the customer's needs and plans for DocMgr, LOGICAL will work with you to help determine the server hardware requirements.

DocMgr includes security. Learn more...

DocMgr incorporates its own user security. Therefore, there's no need for the database administrator to become involved as users are added/modified/removed from DocMgr.

DocMgr supports Microsoft SQL Server. Learn more...

Only 'techies' would care about this information.

DocMgr has been designed and tested to work with MS SQL databases. The following versions of MS SQL are currently supported by LOGICAL:

• MS SQL 2000
  
• MS SQL 2005
  
• MS SQL 2008
  

One of the above databases is required for the software. Since the maintenance and support of the database, itself, typically requires that someone be trained and serve as the DBA - Database Administrator, most corporations have selected one of the above as their corporate standard. If your company has no one trained to serve as the DBA for the DocMgr database, or no extra staff to assign to this task, you may be a better candidate for LOGICAL's Hosting services.

While many variables may affect the size of your actual MSDS database, a small MSDS databases would be 25 Megs and a good size MSDS database with thousands of MSDSs and related data could be 200 Megs. MSDS images are not stored in the database and typically average 300 Megs per 1,000 images. As we determine the customer's needs and plans for DocMgr, LOGICAL will work with you to help estimate the size of the database and image files.

Sizing of the database server depends on your plan for DocMgr. For DocMgr a dedicated server is rarely justified. As we work to determine the customer's needs and plans for DocMgr, LOGICAL will work with you to help determine the server hardware requirements.

DocMgr comes with 12 months Maintenance & Support. Learn more...

For implementation of the software, one year of Maintenance and Support is included with the licensing of the software. As part of Maintenance and Support, customers receive 24x7 phone support and software updates for the modules that you licensed. After the first year, LOGICAL will continue to provide Maintenance and Support while the customer continues to pay the annual fees for the service.

LOGICAL provides Maintenance and Support for four basic reasons. First, to fill the gap between your needs at the time the software was acquired and your future needs by continuing to enhance the software. Second, to help you protect your manpower investment in the software by offering ongoing training and consulting in the use of the software. Third, to protect your overall investment in the software by fixing problems identified by customers. Fourth, to support your installation of the database.
