Dynamic Robust Change Management

Generally, documents are stand-alone files typically created using a word processor application such as Microsoft Word. They do not have any intelligence of their own. Leveraging of work from one document to another at best involves crude copy and paste functionality. In the midst of ever-developing IT solutions for document control, communication and work flow, little attention has been paid by software developers to the matter of identifying physical document change. The task of collating, organizing and recognizing minute changes to documents has not been adequately supported.

Finally, a technology has arrived that provides a comprehensive solution to this problem. Kneat Gx provides powerful change control and impact assessment functionality. By combining the benefits of a document management system with the efficiency of a database application, Kneat has developed a solution which can create and maintain sets of product, process or facility/equipment lifecycle documents with less effort and higher quality.

Key features of the Kneat Gx change management functionality include;

  • Approved data is protected at all times
  • Automated impact assessment across all documents
  • Automated generation of re-test documents where required
  • Online pre-approval of change
  • Online execution of associated testing
  • Online post-approval of change
  • Automatic updating of all affected documents following post-approval.
