Compliance with DocMan

GDPR brings new responsibilities in how we store, manage and secure personal data for our customers.
DocMan allows you to stay ahead of the game by giving you the right tools for compliantly storing documents directly within CRM.
We do this by bringing your structured data in CRM into alignment with your unstructured data held in Emails, Attachments and Documents — so your users can track personal data in a single way regardless of whether this is stored in a document or in a record.

More about DocMan

At it's heart, the DocMan App brings Dynamics and SharePoint together to help deliver this compliance in one neat package to help you get the best from the three applications.

This promotes the following to keep you compliant:

  • Data Access Control from a common security model between CRM and your Documents.
  • Better Security with your CRM and Document data in a strongly structured format.
  • Data Minimalization as Documents are less likely to be sent by Email or copied around the business.
  • Right to be Forgotten delete a record in CRM, and delete the documents you hold at the same time to ensure no personal data is accidently left in your ownership.
  • Subject Access Requests can be sent from DocMan to share Personal Data and Personal Documents with your Data Subjects.

We’ve seen how DocMan can integrate Documents from SharePoint into Dynamics – however many industries also need to track galleries of photos to a Project, Case or Asset. Photos and Images have a different form factor where simply viewing as a top-down list is less than efficient. To do this better, DocMan provides a dedicated Photos Tab that.... More

Sharing Documents is often a vital part of communicating letters, contracts and other longer form information with our Clients and Suppliers.

DocMan resolves this problem by picking up on any changes in Dynamics that should be reflected in SharePoint. We can.... More

We have seen how DocMan can create new Document Libraries and Folders to records in Dynamics, and how related records can form the structure for how our documents are stored. We can also look at the concept of ‘bucket’ folders that can build not just a Folder for a Record, but also other ways of dividing record’s document locations.... More

Moving on from how we can see Accounts in Dynamics creating Folders in SharePoint using a more configurable structure, we can then look at a related Entity to Accounts such as Contact. Typically Contacts we track in Dynamics will be related to a particular Company, and we may want to store Documents in a way that reflects this relationship..... More

Since we started developing DocMan there was always a challenge to how quickly we can install and release to a Customer.

We aimed to.... More
