What Corrections Agencies Say About PowerDMS

“The decision to purchase PowerDMS was born out of efficiency.”

  Patrick Labat, Chief of Corrections, City of Atlanta Department of Corrections

“With shift bids in PowerTime, it takes them less than an hour to complete the whole shift bid process... Manually managing shift bids meant that their process [previously took a whole 12-hour shift to approve and create the new schedule].”

  Hillsdale County Sheriff's Office

“It's an invaluable tool because it keeps policies fresh in their mind without the mundaneness of just 'go read the policy' because no one absorbs that.”

  Lt. Amanda Jonovich, Geauga County Jail
