sharepoint questions

[Gooberlx2]

Is MS Sharepoint like a CVS for regular office documents?

I've started a new job (PRA in medical imaging research at a university) where we'd love to go electronic for all our records. Federal Law requires that everything have audit trails, accountabiltity (I assume tracking the person who makes any changes to a document/record), electronic signatures and version tracking where the original and any subsequent changes of a record are maintained and accessible.

Basically the software has to enable compliance with 21CFR11 of the FDA Code of Federal Regulations.

I'm wondering if Sharepoint does this.

I was reading that sharepoint is DOD compliant up to but not including clasified documents. Not sure about FDA though I do know a few start up pharma companies that use sharepoint for all their doc management.

Yes Sharepoint can do this if you use a document library and enable the feature on the document library: audit trails, accountabiltity (I assume tracking the person who makes any changes to a document/record), version tracking where the original and any subsequent changes of a record are maintained and accessible.



Not sure about this though: electronic signatures
How did you want to use these signatures? When checking the document in you can't sign something saying you did. It just tracks it by NT ID. If the document supports electronic signatures then you are OK.
