The core powerful features of the Cognidox Lean Document Management System.

ISO standards-compliant procedures for information governance. Document control procedures are a crucial requirement of ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 27001, FDA 21 CFR Part 820 and most other quality certification standards. You don’t need an electronic document management system to comply, but having one makes it far easier to achieve compliance. Cognidox has helped many companies in this task and has often elicited comments from external Auditors that it is the best document control solution they have ever seen. Companies use it as a place to store information about Audits, Change Control, Corrective & Preventive Actions, Product Quality, and more.

Business process documents can be routed to users for their action. Set up flexible routing rules based on type of request, document type and security profile.

Multiple ways to review documents. As well as shared notes, you can provide comments on the document review page and you can upload new files such as tracked changes word documents. Other review types such as formal review meetings and external feedback are available. It is also possible to check out a document while the reviews are coming in to prevent a new draft being created.

Allows teams to add notes to a pdf of a document. Notes are initially private but once shared they are available to all other reviewers of the document and are saved in the document review history. Allows a document owner to see all reviews in one place. Authors often need to work on the new document version offline. To help an author with this, Cognidox allows notes to be exported to a spreadsheet that includes the document pages.

Flexible approval rules. Set up approvers based on categories, document types or just individual documents. Single or multiple approvers or a set number from a pre-defined group.

Every draft and approved version of a document is held in the system along with every review comment and approval history.

Automated email reminders for when document reviews are overdue. Flexible user based notification filters. Weekly reminders of outstanding tasks and more.

Administrators can create HTML forms which can then be assigned to categories. Forms can consist of any number of administrator defined fields and rights to create a form can be defined. Users filling in a form will create a new document in the form category.

Create new documents from company-wide or category-specific templates.

Pre-filtering of MS Office files will change both the document properties and the values embedded in the visible document, without requiring a macro or update to change the fields. Mark your document Draft, Approved, and include the document part number, etc.

Enterprise search platform for relevance-based full-text search. Also search by meta-data and document attributes. Perfect for document findability.

Track internal usage or set up a goal for a particular document you want people to view.

Security profiles applied to document sets or to categories provide very fine-grained control over who can see documents, and what further rights they have to change them.

Our DNA is in product development and you will find multiple tools that will assist in decreasing waste and getting your product to market on time and on budget.

Use of Document Holders to create a set of linked documents that can form gate requirements for approval. The Document Holder is a controlled document that can't be approved until all of the documents that are contained within it are approved as well. A great way for C-Level managment to have final say on whether a product development moves onto the next phase.

Document Holders are perfect for listing the components of a product release and controlling publishing to partners. Specify fixed issue numbers or keep it dynamic using the Latest and Approved tags. For example you can group together release notes, data sheets, software code and hardware specifications in one controlled document. Also, build an end-to-end software release tool-chain with integration for code version control, bug tracking and software build tools.

Ability to compartmentalise areas of Cognidox so only authorised users are aware of existence.

Create private workspaces for open innovation partners such as contractors, content writers, etc. Provides all Cognidox features but a limited view of document categories.

Automated acknowledgement that employees have read and accepted employment policies. Policies can be repeated on a rolling schedule. Great where you need to demonstrate that employees have been actively informed and understood policies.

Super-responsive email support.

Full suite of training videos and manuals grouped by type of user.

Create a Business Management System as a set of web pages. Create your own intranet that captures how your company creates and delivers products or services to your customers. No web development skills required - just utilise common tools such as Visio and other standard MS Office applications.

We provide the set up files and initial templates to get you going. Easy to add and remove pages - your only limit is your imagination.

Design pages with MS Visio with hyperlinks to other documents and save in Cognidox. Auto-conversion tools will create a svg version (Scalable Vector Graphics) that means your Visio diagram can be viewed as a fully navigatable web page.

Every page of your Intranet system is a controlled document in Cognidox. Completely integrated with no need for separate modules.

Save work directly from Outlook, Word, PowerPoint and Excel into the Cognidox document repository. Clone or compare Word documents to save time and see differences.

Exchange data directly with Engineering, Sales and Help Desk tools such as Subversion, SugarCRM and OTRS. Use JSON to create data mashups or use the SOAP API for integration.

A dedicated virtual server with your own operating system and dedicated physical processing capacity and disk resource all managed by Cognidox on your behalf. A choice of data centres around the world to choose from.

Personal training over video conferencing provided as part of your onboarding. We run Administrator training courses and End User training courses. Also possible to provide additional training as required on specific functional areas.

FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant and GxP complaint authentication on approval. Requires users to input username, password, role, reason for signing and location when approving documents (requirements fully configurable by client).

We also offer the option to use an authenticator on an approver's mobile device for extra flexibility and security.

A PDF Approval Manifest page is added to the PDF of the approved document clearly detailing who signed it, their title, the date and the meaning of the signature (e.g. verified or approved).

The Approval history is also detailed showing all previous approved versions, who they were issued by, their current status (e.g. superseded) and when they were approved.

Meets the signature manifestation requirements of FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and GxP data integrity guidelines.

In addition to our integrated e-signatures, Cognidox also provides fully featured 'send to DocuSign' functionality. This is great for contract management or in cases where you do not wish to use the inbuilt Cognidox functionality to sign off documents.

You can configure DocuSign signing envelopes directly in Cognidox providing email addresses for the external signatories required. When you ‘Send to DocuSign’ from Cognidox the signed document will automatically be captured in Cognidox when the process is complete.

A software validation pack to assist customers to validate their use of Cognidox in relation to medical device regulatory requirements. The pack includes a Validation Report, an IQ template, a PQ template, a completed PQ-OP example and test specifications & results.

Single sign-on using SAML (cloud & on-premise) / Creation of users or groups from LDAP & Active Directory (on-premise)

For organisations that want to have total control over their IT infrastructure we support deployment on customer servers behind the corporate firewall.

Clustered servers allow multiple Cognidox nodes to be widely geographically distributed such that local users send and receive files from their local server, rather than from a remote server. In addition to providing faster local access, clustered Cognidox nodes provide additional data-resilience in the event of hardware failures.

An instant, cloud-based web portal solution. It saves you from having to make your own web hosting arrangements, and it’s a fully-managed service so you can be freed from monitoring and maintenance tasks. Includes a content licensing & publishing engine for sharing files with suppliers, partners, customers, etc. Instead of a lengthy and expensive “consulting” period, we will customise the look and feel to match your corporate brand within hours, so you can get value from your extranet within days.

A Cognidox Disaster Recover 'DR' box is your own ‘mini Cognidox’ on your own equipment and takes nightly syncs of your database and files. This provides you with peace of mind that you can continue to use Cognidox and access your own data in the unlikely event that a major disaster occurred. This is a fully functioning 1 user licence on-premise system that mirrors your files that are held in the cloud application.

A dedicated Cognidox test server which offers organisations a ‘sand box’ to test in, train users in and run tests on new software releases without impacting your main Cognidox system.
