PROCESS PICTURE MAP (PPM) SOFTWARE & TALSICO REPLACEMENT

IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY USING THE PROCESS PICTURE MAP PPM SOFTWARE BY TALSICO YOU SHOULD CONSIDER SOP EXPRESS.

You already know that having job aids and quick reference cards like the PPMs are valuable to support the implementation of procedures, processes and protocols.

With SOP Express you get the ability to capture your procedure in a single-source Master Document and then

  • automatically generate the official SOP report (for the auditor)
  • Visual Work Instruction, Job Aids, Checklists (for the end user),
  • and even a Task Qualification Audit (for the supervisor).

All of these outputs are specifically intended to improve on-the-job performance.

SOP Express is fully integrated with Microsoft Office and uses MS Word as the authoring platform, so you are already 80% trained to implement the software at your desktop.

If you need to create Training Programs that include PowerPoint and Web-based Tutorials
You can upgrade to ExpressTrain to automatically generate all your training materials.

Along with SOP Express, the Princeton Center offers software systems for SOP Tracking (with SharePoint), Training Tracking (with TrainTracks) and rapid authoring for training development (with ExpressTrain).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

  • HOW WILL OUR END-USERS ACCESS THE PUBLISHED PROCEDURES? IF WE DO NOT WANT TO PUBLISH THEM ON SHAREPOINT, DO WE NEED TO HAVE A WEB SERVER

You can designate any location as a publishing location for the outputs from the SOP Express Desktop. This can be a SharePoint, a Shared Drive or any local/external drive. The outputs can be organized into easy-to-build indexes directly from the SOP Express Desktop and can then be shared with end users as links.

  • DOES SOP EXPRESS INCLUDE THE ABILITY FOR ME TO WRITE THE PROCEDURES, TO GENERATE CHECK LIST, JOB AIDS, AND THEN TO PUBLISH THEM?

Yes, SOP Express includes all the functionality to generate your Reports (SOP, Polices, Work Instructions Assessments, and Supervisor Task Qualification Audits) as well your Job Aids (Checklists and Quick Reference Cards).

  • FOR THE OUTPUT TEMPLATES, DO WE NEED TO PROVIDE YOU ANY INFORMATION?

Yes, once we receive the order we will give you a list of items that will help us create the appropriate output templates for you. These usually include, your logo, your header/footer, any representative images (for backgrounds), etc.

  • DOES THE MAINTENANCE FEE INCLUDE THE SUPPORT FOR THE TOOL (ANY ISSUE ENCOUNTERED ON THE TOOL OR ANY SPECIFIC HOW-TO QUESTION)?

The Maintenance fee includes all updates to the software, maintenance releases, and improvement releases for one year (renewable annually) … it also includes support for the first 90 days with access to our on-line ticket system for reporting issues or problems (which we monitor daily) … we can offer additional support and custom development services as needed. Just talk with us.

  • ONCE THE ON-LINE SELF-PACED TRAINING IS COMPLETED DO WE HAVE UNLIMITED ACCESS TO GO BACK AND REVIEW?

Actually the online self-paced training is made available for the first 90 days (plenty of time to complete) … and then online support materials are made available (job aids, quick reference cards, checklists, etc.) via a URL link with unlimited access.

  • REGARDING THE SECURITY OF THE PUBLISHED PROCEDURES, CAN WE PUT RESTRICTION ON THE COPY OF THE PROCEDURES IN ORDER TO AVOID THAT THE USER HAS A SOFT COPY OF THE PROCEDURE?

If you do not have SharePoint, then an outline index can be created and moved to any HTTP (URL) location. Your IT group may insert a sign-on and password for any user to get access to the URL (this is done on your end) … you can only have one sign-on and password for a give URL … so when we use this approach we establish a single sign-on and password for a group to access their index. With SOP Express you can set up as many outline view Indexes (with any number of modules) for as many groups as needed.
