The objective of a document control software system is to make sure that good manufacturing methods are recorded and improved on. ISO standards require that the process and the documentation directing the manufacturing methods, and any changes to them, are restricted to authorised personnel with any changes recorded for future examination. Therefore ISO certified organisations are required to have a system for controlling the changes to their documents.

One of the challenges of having an ISO system, whether it is certified or not, is to be able to continuously maintain it after it has been set-up. A paper or hybrid electronic/paper systems will require diligence and perseverance on the part of the organisation and senior management in particular for the processes to be maintained and updated. It is in fact not unheard for a system to be left unattended once certification has been achieved and for it to be resurrected only when an audit is imminent because the organisation has considered it to be too time consuming to maintain. Manual systems can also be error prone with uncontrolled documents being made available or new versions not appearing in time. In order to eliminate these problems organisations are increasingly turning to quality management software systems.

This article focuses on the document control element of a quality management system and on how its processes allow an organisation to increase the efficiency of maintaining its processes, controlling the distribution of documents and generally improving profitability.

We will now cover the areas that we think need to be considered when deciding to opt for a document control software system:

1. RESTRICTIVE ACCESS

• User/Password protection – The system must require a unique Username/Password combination for each user with access to the system. In addition the password must be an alphanumeric combination to further ensure that it cannot be logically recreated.

• Intruder lockout – An account should be automatically locked out if a user attempts to login using an inaccurate login combination. This is activated when a preconfigured number of false attempts have occurred and protects against unauthorized attempts by individuals to access the system. The System Administrator is the only individual who can re-set a locked out account.

• Document access restrictions – Each person within an organisation has a role. While each role is unique it may or may not interact with another role in the same organisation. As a result a system needs to be able to restrict access on the basis of their role with the documentation. In most cases this is Viewing (Read Access), Authoring (Write Access) and Approving, with users being given one or more roles for the documentation in question.

2. DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT

Document management capabilities ensure that the iterative elements that are required for an ISO system are automated or simplified thereby increasing efficiency.

• Application independence – A system must be able to control documents from a variety of commonly used applications i.e. Word, Excel, video, audio etc…

• Lifecycle management – Documents must follow a strict lifecycle from Draft to Published to Archived. While this can be based on the type of document it must however restrict access at its various stages.

• Document history – All events that a document goes through must be automatically recorded and accessible by the approved users.

• Central and safe storage – Documents must be stored in such a way to ensure only authorised access while at the same time shielding against loss or destruction.

3. AUTOMATIC VERSION CONTROL

Version control of a document is both time consuming and can lead to embarrassing mistakes when a new version needs to replace an older version. A document control system can provide some key automation benefits:

• Availability of the latest version – Only the latest approved version of a document needs to be available with no confusion to the people who need to use them.

• Automatic routing – As defined by its type a document should follow a routing whereby approvers are automatically notified when a document is to be approved, reviewed or when a change request ha been issued.

• Automatic document replacement – Newer approved versions of a document must automatically replace the older version and shift into archive.

• Automatic email notifications – E-mail notifications should be provided to inform users when they are required to perform a task or need to be aware of an event. This should be able to be deactivated but at the same time there must always be some alternative form of notification that cannot be able to be deactivated. For required tasks this should apply for reviews, approvals and change requests. For events this should apply for publishing, confirmed rejections and rejected change requests.

• Approval history – Managers should be able to view the complete approval status and history of a document as it is going through its workflow routings.

• Automatic publishing on approval – Once a document is approved it should automatically be published to users who have been given access to it and replace any prior versions which are then archived.

4. SIMPLE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION

An easy to use system administration should ensure that any user can understand the system while having a minimal IT understanding or appreciation:

• Preconfigured routing – Routings rules should be set and fixed under the bonnet with an easy to understand attribute setting all governed by Document Types also known as Approval Types.

• Configurable user access rights – While keeping with the concept of keeping things simple the system administrator should be able to configure read and write access rights by grouping of documents.

• System reporting – A simple report builder should be integrated with the system giving administrators the ability to create reports while at the same time benefiting from a selection of standard built in reports.

5. GENERAL USABILITY

A document control system should provide users with an easy to learn experience:

• Platform independence – No restriction as to the platform the system works on or as it integrates with different databases.

• No installation requirements – No need to install software on a client’s infrastructure ensures that the system can be easily evaluated and be up and running in a flash.

• Web-based client access – Ability to connect to the system from any Internet connection regardless of physical location. This means that geographically dispersed clients as well as suppliers and customers can access the system without any additional software or hardware infrastructure requirements.

• Search capability – Ability to search for documents using keywords and only list documents that meet the search criteria and the user’s access rights.

• Grouping of documents – An easy to use graphical interface similar to the Windows treeview with folders and sub-folders where documents can be grouped and searched for logically.

• Training for system administrators and regular users – Training to be available to both of the users using a simple method which can be delivered over the Web and can be easily interrupted and started up where left off.

6. DOCUMENT GROUPING AND ACCESS RIGHTS

Once a document control system has been chosen a clear identification of responsibility for each type or class of document must be well thought out and planned. This is to ensure that the system is an effective one and is focused only on the people who have a role in the system. The specific groupings for a system that groups both documents and users are as follows:

• Grouping of documents – Documents within a document control system have a purpose and when that purpose is identified then the documents can be logically grouped. This is to ensure that ultimately only the users who need to have a role in those documents can be given that role.

• Readers of documents – Access to documents must be restricted to the users who effectively need to use the documents as part of their job responsibility. This is where a document control system starts and ends and time must therefore be invested in grouping documents and determining which people have access to each grouping of documents. Certain software system only provide access to groups of users so in addition to grouping the documents the users having access to the document groups in themselves need to be grouped.

• Writers of documents – These are the people who have management responsibility over the documents. They will be originators or authors of the documents and will have the responsibility for updating them. They may also be readers of the documents. Generally, this may either be at a department or functional level or at an organisation level depending on how large or complex the organisation is. When changes are made to a document they will be required to report on the reason and the detail of the changes.

• Approvers of documents – Controlled documents must go through a review and approval process. These are the users who have the task of making sure that the documents are accurate. They will tend to be experts in their relative fields so they may be required only to review and approve documents in their functional areas. They may also be readers and writers of documents.

In identifying these four groupings the supporting structure of the document control system is built and from there a smooth running system can be configured. It is of overwhelming importance that plenty of time is allowed for this stage as it will pay dividends in the long run.

7. CONCLUSION

Companies that have moved from a manual to an electronic document control system will say that their day-to-day task has been made easy and that they have made a speedy return on their investment (ROI). However, they will also agree that the transition has required an important investment in time to ensure that the structure of the new system has been well planned out. Finally, they will also have been relieved that when they chose a hosted document control system that it did not necessitate any upgrades in their IT infrastructure.

It very rare nowadays for household to have only 1 computer, with children switching between a family machine in the media room, the desktop in their bedrooms, and a laptop for computing that is easily transferable from one locale to another.  Contemporary products enabling parental control of internet use need to realize that offering protection for 1 machine won’t cut it anymore, and the web based Bsecure CloudCare Version 6.0, retailing at $49.95 per annum, does exactly that, although it dawdles behind its competitors in a few key areas.
Your initial Bsecure payment allows for installation of up to 3 machines, and it is possible for users to add more should they find they need to for $19.95 per extra computer.  The 3 product package is becoming a standard these days, with CyberPatrol Parental Control 7.7, at $39.95; CyberSitter 11, for $24.95; and Safe Eyes 6.0 for $49.95 all offering 3 licenses to the consumer.  However, Net Nanny 6.5, retailing at $39.95, will charge you an extra $20, although it does remain Editor’s Choice as far as parental control is concerned.  On the opposite end of the spectrum there is OnlineFamily.Norton, available for unlimited installations all free of charge.
When you’re setting up this program you will select whether or not to employ similar parental control configuration for each and every user, or whether to specify case by case settings for each of your children.  If you decide on settings applicable to each separate child individually, you are able to insert their names; choose an age range; and finally select an icon to represent each one.  The program contains preconfigured settings for 4 different age ranges: Child, 1 to 8 years old; Youth, 9 to 12; Teen, 13 to 17 years old; and, finally Adult for those 18 years old and older.
There is also the alternative named Ultimate Protection with No Customization that has been created for grownups who desire a higher level of control than those discussed in the previous paragraph, and if this mode is in effect you will not be able to make any changes to the settings of the program at all.  Should you wish to alter the software’s filtering settings, or even uninstall it, you will have to phone tech support in order to do so.  There is also the choice to hand control to an Accountability Partner.  This is a brand new feature, not yet available on other products.
It is necessary to install a small client program on every machine that needs to be managed by Bsecure.  And, if you have established distinct configurations for multiple users you will need to match the Windows account belong to each user on every computer up.  However, once this task is completed the program is ready to begin.

Dot Net Inventory and Accounting system will bring existing win32 application into Microsoft dot net framework, end user will enjoy the optimize and stable environment while developer will enjoy even more, let’s see what dot net will do for the developer:

Benefit #1 – Smaller distribution footprint.
Dot Net application require dot net framework, which almost every new computer with Windows XP and Vista will be installed by default. This makes the dot net distribution extremely easy, especially using Internet and auto-update technology.

Benefit #2 – Rapid Application Development (RAD).
Borland powerful and successful RAD compiler, has been replaced by Microsoft Visual Studio when Visual Studio 2005 launches. The most powerful tools in Visual Studio 2005 will be the Dataset designer! Although the technology is just getting mature, it provides enough tools for developer to move their existing code into RAD design, most business rules and codes can be written in the dataset designer.

Benefit #3 – Flexible and Scalable.
The Dot Net platform allows scale from desktop, to client-server and up to multi-tier application, and Windows application to Silverlight web interface. Developer will be able to share the effort when migrating to a larger system or web platform; existing business rules are reusable.

Benefit # 5 – Portability.
With proper design, dot net application can port to Linux and Mac OS (In theory, lack of dot net engine) as well. For some application, Linux or Ubuntu is a better platform; By the support from MONO, dot net application will be able to execute in the Linux environment.

However, for most of the developer, they might not be using such great features, but wouldn’t it be nice to have them when you need it in the future? Switch to dot net seems to be the best investment, legacy compiler will not survive the dot net wave, why wait till the trends obsolete you?

There are some vendors provide Source Code based Dot Net Inventory Accounting, this will help the developer save time and brings even more flexibility to their needs!

Business processes comprise of several accounting activities. They are transactions, related to amount payable and receivable, trial balance, pay roll, billing, general ledger, sales and purchase order, time sheet, debt collection etc. Accounting activities of a business venture can be divided under two heads. One is core accounting activities and the second is non core accounting activities. Amount payable and receivable, trial balance, billing and general ledger are the core accounting activities. Debt collection, payroll, sales and purchase order processing are non core accounting transactions. Accounting software packages offer distinct modules for each core and non-core accounting transaction.

The major benefit of accounting software packages is smarter, faster and error free accounting. Both free and paid accounting software packages are available in the market. For start-up business ventures and SMEs free packages help a lot. But, with increase in scale of operation, complexities of business processes increase. In such case free accounting software packages can not be that much helpful. You need to opt for paid versions.

There are two types of paid accounting software packages available in the market. One is off-the-shelf and other is custom accounting software. Off-the-shelf packages offer accounting solution that matches to the needs of a number of organizations. On the other hand, custom accounting software is designed keeping specific accounting requirements of a business venture in mind. It has higher customization capacity and compatibility to keep pace with the growth of your business. Compared to off-the-shelf packages, custom applications are costly. But they offer good value for money by offering exact and business specific accounting solutions.

Three years ago there were few products on the market that could support remote access for 3D graphics and deliver 3D application remotely. The few that were on the market required at least 5Mbps and latencies below 75 milliseconds. We wanted to build a product that provided a usable experience with 2Mpbs of bandwidth and tolerate up to 150ms round trip latency. We wanted to create the best 3D virtualization platform. We feel that this product has now been created- XenDesktop 4- a breakthrough desktop virtualization platform for 3D graphics.

3D graphical applications like CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER, Autodesk, etc. are used daily by CAD/CAM designers in the manufacturing sector. Research scientists use 3D graphical application for oil exploration in oil and natural gas companies. These are computationally challenging applications that need high end GPUs (graphical processing units) manufactured by companies like nVIDI and AMD. These applications often require the most advanced workstations- fastest possible CPU and GPU and the largest amount of memory.

3D applications are difficult to virtualize because performance is key in these applications. The CPU-GPU interaction has been designed to optimally deliver the highest number of frames per second (fps). Any software that is inserted in the middle can reduce the fps delivered to the user and cause a poor user experience. For example, for some complex models with hundreds of thousands of rendering triangles the workstation may create 2-3 frames per second. If the virtualization platform reduces the display rate to 1-2 fps, the difference is perceptible, and the end user will not want to use the application.

In XenDesktop 4, the latency tolerance optimization has been extended that what is already presented in the HDX technology and has added a few new compression algorithms, including some that use the GPU itself to do compression. The result is a 3D virtualization platform that meets the market requirements and delivers the best possible user experience. On the LAN, our solution can perform even better than locally installed application, because server side GPUs can be more powerful than desktop GPUs. On the WAN there is no other solution that can deliver a usable experience at 2Mbps with 150 ms round trip latency.

You will see this technology platform bear fruit in other areas that affect larger number of users. The new Microsoft OS-Windows 7- leverages the GPS to deliver cool 3D graphical user interfaces. Our experience with high-end 3D graphics will help us effectively solve these problems for millions of users as they migrate to Windows 7. Stay tuned!

SB1, which is unofficial abbreviation for SAP Business One small and mid-size business ERP from SAP is relatively new application and it was designed and programmed with the likely contemporary business models requirements. If you are planning to implement SAP B1 for ecommerce outlet, you should first work on the best scenario selection. Let us give you initial highlights, for further implementation design you should submit your specific case for analysis and recommendations:

1. eCommerce module. If you are launching everything from the ground or if you have really obsolete web site, then you may consider doing it on SB1 ecommerce platform. In this case you do not need to worry about standard ecommerce features, such as shopping cart, catalog, pricing (however if you practice advanced and seasonal price lists and promotions, some additional settings and possibly custom features might be recommended), as all these standard features will be available in integrated module

2. Established ecommerce site. In this scenario, more likely the idea of slashing existing site and redeploying everything on your new ERP platform has less feasibility. You, and your decision makers in IT will be more inclined to re-connect or remap your existing shopping cart and electronic order to your SB1 back end. In this case you will need SAP Business One SDK programming work, which is very common and you are not the first who needs it and many already took this route. Often we hear the question – doe connectors exist as of-the-shelf products? The answer is – yes and no, as the connection often involves programming touch at your e-commerce application, and so the value of the vanilla connector should be analyzed

3. Platform overview. If you are ecommerce developer, you should know that SB1 is available for Microsoft SQL Server and it opens you SQL for querying and various reporting, if you are not comfortable to invest into SDK training and learning curve. These querying techniques might be utilized for down the road integration support and advancements. For example, querying maybe feasible, if you are designing order status on-demand report for e-commerce customer self service

You can install Windows XP using three types of installation. The type of installation you choose greatly affects the decisions you will make during installation. The three types of installations that are available in Microsoft windows XP are the following:

• Clean installation A clean installation is one in which there is no existing operating system on the computer or one in which you do not want to preserve the existing installation. You will always perform a clean installation on a computer that does not have an operating system installed already. The biggest advantage of performing a clean installation is that you can be certain that nothing is carried over from a previous installation, which usually results in somewhat better performance and stability. The only real disadvantage of performing a clean installation over an upgrade is that you will have to reinstall all of your applications and reconfigure your Windows settings. However, even that disadvantage presents you with the opportunity to “clean house,” as it were.

• Upgrade An upgrade installation is one in which Windows XP is installed over an existing installation of a previous version of Microsoft Windows. The advantage of an upgrade over a clean installation is that you can retain application installations and user settings. Following a successful upgrade, you should be able to log on to Windows XP and start working again right away. The disadvantage of an upgrade is really the same as the advantage: XP retains all settings and applications, and these are often settings and applications that users could do without. Although performing a clean install takes more time, it ensures that the user has a more stable and less cluttered system.

• Multiple boot installation A multiple boot installation is one in which multiple operating systems are installed on a computer, and the user can select which operating system to use during system startup. If you install XP as an additional operating system on a computer, you still have to reinstall any applications you want to use when running XP. The advantage of using a multiple boot installation over an upgrade or clean installation is that you can retain the previous operating system and installed applications. This is useful if you want to test or experiment with XP or if you have important applications that you know will not run on Windows XP.

As the name suggest Control panel is the control centre for Windows based Operating systems. The Control Panel allows users to view and perform basic system settings and controls, such as adding hardware, adding and removing software, controlling user accounts, setting permissions, setting your network connections and changing accessibility options etc.  If you call up any computer support company or refer to online pc help website, you can gather the information and usage of control panel.

Since the launch of first versions of windows based operating systems, the features and controlling power of Control Panel has also came a long way; not only in terms of functionality but also the look and feel of the control panel. In case you want to know the control panel of windows 98 and windows vista refer to any online pc repair website. In windows vista there are two types of views of control panel one is control panel home and another is classic view. The main difference between them is Interface; classic view is elaborated view where in you can see the different options available under one heading and we can see all the options there altogether. In control panel home view, we cannot see all the options together however they are grouped.

In windows vista some of the options are same as that of windows XP and some of options are renamed. There are some more options added like Appearance Settings, Firewall, Folder Options Info card, Scanners and Cameras, Text to Speech and Task Scheduler has been added. Add/Remove Programs are named as programs and features and some of the new options. Like every other release of operating system of Microsoft Vista also have some vulnerability to threats which can easily be taken care of by your computer repair company or one can refer to the solution through online pc repair websites or forums.

Control panel is also very useful tool to troubleshoot simple to complex issues and you can troubleshoot it yourself. The information about troubleshooting issues related to control panel are available on computer repair websites most of which are free of cost and you do not have to call in your computer support company. We can launch the control panel by simply writing control in the run box. The control panel file is located in the system root of the operating system and can also be accessed from there.

Step by step information of how to use control panel is freely available of Microsoft website and can also be found on various computer support websites like Dell, HP, and Acer etc. Computer support now days are getting costlier and sometime even it tends to become heavy on pocket. It is advisable to look forward for some free advice available on computer support website or look for some computer support company which give you value for money. However as a suggestion follow the instructions for troubleshooting issues which can be fixed through usage of control panel provided by legitimate Computer Support Company or Microsoft.

You can avoid having to re-purchase games by learning how to play backup PS2 games.

In this guide, you will learn the very easy method of how to play back up games on PS2.

PS2 gamers used to use a modchip or swap magic or cogswap to backup games and play them. These methods are not only too complicated for ordinary people, but also not safe to use. If there is anything wrong in the process of installing, they may totally destroy their expensive PS2 and the games. Moreover, one should spend another few bucks to invite specialist to do the modification, and some money on the modchip or other materials. That’s all extra costs, which could be saved by using a game copying software. With the help of a good game copying software, one can make 1:1 backup copies of his favorite PS2 games, just the same as the original. So the backup is playable on PS2.

Obviously they contained the boot sequence as a part of the software. This sequence was embedded deep in such program and heavily encrypted and enable you to burn it onto normal disks. The software is rather simplistic as we did not feel we needed a complex interface. It works pretty much like a normal CD/DVD burner. You can copy/Burn ISO files onto the disk and it automatically burns the boot up sequence with the game. So this copying software program is the key for you to learn how to play back up PS2 games.

As for your consult, a well reputed copying software of this kind is called Copy That Game. Here is an honest review of Copy That Game!

To start backing up PS2 games, you need to launch the program you installed. Once this is launched, you need to insert the disc you want to backup. Click on the COPY button and leave it be. In many programs, the destination of the data that will be copied is automatically brought to the drive. It will re-image or mirror the data and will ask you to insert a blank disc once the copying is ready. As soon as the backup copies made, you can play this backup game on PS2 without a problem.

So in order to play backup games on ps2 and protect the original from damage, you need to start right away to get a good copying software, Copy That Game, as I recommend. Want to learn more information about Copy That Game? Visit Copy That Game Review!
