What is company standard management?

It sounds very simple right? In order to work with company standards, employees have to be able to find them. But the problem is that many of the documents are not that accessible based on content. Particularly when you are working with a multitude of documents, it can be very difficult to identify the specific one you need. A document that cannot be found quickly is also unlikely to be used. This problem is costing your company time and money. Your employees are busy searching for information that is available, but not really easily accessible.

Can this problem be solved with a standards management system?

Unfortunately only partially. Your documents can be integrated into tools such as Perinorm or e-NORM. But if content-related search criteria is not available (e.g. search criteria or classification), these documents will still be difficult to find. But, we can change this with our analysis tools.

Analysis:
This is how we make the content in your company standards accessible

You can have your company standards or other technical documents (PDF files for example) analysed by DIN Software's "Semantic Standards Information Framework", or "SNIF”.

Take advantage of our know-how. We have decades of experience in content extraction and the content management of standards. Our experts will analyse your company standards using SNIF. Our innovative, semantic search engine makes it possible to dive deeper into the content of standards, extract information and generate knowledge.

When the results of the analysis are complete, we will deliver metadata that provides valuable insight on your documents. By integrating this into your standards management solution, your searches will become considerably more effective.
