Do I have to redo my existing documents?
No! TMS provides users with an indexing system that will work with your current environment. With TMS you can use any word processor, CAD system, Flowcharting software or Spreadsheets, as long as they are Windows based applications.

Does TMS Enterprise require Microsoft Access databases?
No.  TMS uses Microsoft Access as its database and the application is written using Microsoft Visual Basic.  Because TMS is designed for an open architecture, however, TMS tables can be integrated with other databases you may be using.

What type of platform does TMS Enterprise run on?
TMS runs on Windows 2000, WindowsXP and Windows Vista. You can have all four platforms running on different PCs and have the database on a network (TMS Enterprise). Programs and the TMS database can be located on a file server.

Can I use other Windows based products with TMS Enterprise?
Yes, TMS is an indexing system which complements your existing environment. Upgrading your application software, (whether its a Word Processor, Engineering Software or other) won't lock you in and force you to use an unfamiliar environment.

What kind of support is available for TMS Enterprise?
With the purchase of TMS Enterprise and two day Foundation class,  you will receive one year of support.  This support includes toll free hot line support, upgrades and input into product enhancements. With TMS Lite, support services are available for 30 days and can be extended for an additional charge.  Other services available include: Installation and Training Services, Document Conversion, Template Design, Project Management, Document Writing, Document Implementation, Implementation Design and Delivery, Validation Services, and Word Training.

How much training is involved?
A typical TMS Foundation class is two full days with open attendance. However, we do find that working one-on-one with the document administrators is the best approach for our clients.  QSI can provide management with a 2-3 hour overview to introduce the system to individuals that will be using it as a Read Only User.  During the Foundation Class, the software is installed and the IT manager is introduced to the TMS environment.
