Questions about working with document management systems and Jazz tools.
I have some questions about working with document management systems (DMS) and the Jazz tools. I know that a large number of organizations use DMS as their systems of record and wanted to understand exactly what they are doing with them. For example:
- do they link Jazz artifacts to the DMS, or export the artifacts into it?
-
if the latter, do they maintain links between the original artifact and that in the DMS and if so how?
- do they use any scripts or other mechanisms to do the export or linkage into Jazz?
- do they use electronic signatures in the DMS?

As some of our tools don't have electronic signatures implemented in a way that can be made compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 within the tools, one option is to integrate with a DMS and sign documents in that tool. We know that some customers of DOORS 9 (which can be used in a compliant manner) already do this. They want to use a single system of record, and they prefer to use the DMS.
So, if we can integrate with a DMS in such a way that material from the Jazz tools can be placed in the DMS in a simple way, we can provide a compliant electronic signature mechanism.
I was asking in the hope that people might come up with examples of real usage.
