GDM - Graphical Documentation Manager

GDM is a Graphical Documentation System based on Microsoft® Windows 8 (or higher) that was developed in cooperation with users, customers, and advisors, especially for the requirements of the footwear industry.
 
GDM can provide product-specific documentation of any kind, either online (e. g., on a computer screen on an IT network, Internet, etc.) as well as offline (printouts or readable PDF). More than 25 years of collective experience in the development of human-centered software solutions are concentrated in GDM.
 
GDM was developed as the most modern multi-tier application, and is therefore scalable for all sizes of enterprises. The system is designed for IT network operation and supports “concurrent collaboration” of all participating staff members. On demand, GDM™ can also be operated as a stand-alone solution.
 
GDM functionalities like the "internal administration mode", "company data library", "search texts", “toolbox”, “ribbon menus” and many other features allow to customize the software to individual users and/or enterprise-wide needs. Correct, enterprise-specific documentation standards are implemented very easily and shortly.
 
The newest version of GDM has it's on database for much easier and faster retrieval and evaluation of GDM internal and/or external data.
 
The new API for PDM allows viewing of GDM45+ documents, documents created with GDM8 also include the translations.
