LCSIS

LCSIS data is organized in tables in an SQL relational database to provide an efficient structure that defines relationships between data and eliminates redundant data entry. LCSIS uses the database to store or reference any type of information required to manage your product during its entire life cycle. This "data" includes discrete data elements and pointers to many types of file formats. The type of data that can be stored or referenced includes identifying words, numbers, or alphanumeric elements; drawings and pictures; and video and sound.

LCSIS differs from a "document" management system in that it stores discrete data in addition to documents in folders. The use of discrete data allows you flexibility when searching large databases and especially when creating product structures. Creating and maintaining product baselines is difficult without the use of all product data and documents.

LCSIS is bundled with a universal document viewer that allows enterprise-wide viewing and markup. The user can view more than 150 file formats created from a multitude of software packages and scanning devices. Multiple documents can be viewed simultaneously in moveable windows; the viewer offers the user the capability to create, overlay, and redline files to allow data related to design changes to be relayed with the original documents
