Azure Tide · Document Control Solutions Division
Better information.
Cleaner turnover.
Fewer surprises.
Remote Document Control for engineering and industrial project teams that need reliable registers, revisions, transmittals, closeout, and workflow support without adding permanent headcount.
Primary service
Document Control as a Service
Azure Tide provides an operating Document Control capability that can scale with your project and workload. Use us as supplemental capacity, fractional support, temporary coverage, or a managed remote Document Control function.
You are not buying generic administrative hours. The service is built around controlled information: what was received, what was issued, what changed, what is current, what is missing, and what must be ready for closeout.
- 01Managed project supportDocument Register maintenance, document receipt and issue, revision/status control, transmittals, deliverable tracking, filing, and routine quality checks.
- 02Supplemental capacityAdd experienced Document Control support when an existing team is overloaded, approaching a deadline, or carrying a backlog.
- 03Project-specific coverageStand up Document Control for one project without creating a permanent position for a temporary workload.
- 04Temporary coverageMaintain continuity during vacancies, leave, mobilization delays, or transitions between project personnel.

Across the project lifecycle
Control should begin before closeout.
Azure Tide supports the points where Document Control most often breaks down: project startup, day-to-day execution, backlog recovery, turnover preparation, and the systems that connect those stages.
Project Setup & Mobilization
Set up Document Registers, numbering, metadata, filing structures, issue workflows, transmittal practices, deliverable controls, and closeout expectations before disorder becomes normal.
Document Control as a Service
Provide ongoing remote Document Control at the level the project actually needs, from supplemental capacity to a managed function.
Rescue & Remediation
Reconcile Document Registers, revisions, statuses, metadata, file structures, missing documents, transmittals, duplicates, and closeout backlogs.
Project Closeout Readiness Review
Determine whether the project documentation is actually ready for turnover, identify unresolved gaps, and define the corrective actions needed before final delivery.
Systems & Workflow
Improve SharePoint, Microsoft 365, EDMS, metadata, forms, routing, reporting, procedures, and automation so the process supports the control model.
Rescue & remediation
When the project is already off track.
Sometimes the need is not another procedure. It is getting the existing information back under control.
Typical problems
- The Document Register and controlled project files no longer agree.
- Multiple revisions are circulating without a reliable current state.
- Superseded records are mixed with active documents.
- Transmittal history is incomplete or difficult to trace.
- Native files and published PDFs cannot be reconciled.
- Closeout is approaching and missing deliverables are still being discovered.
Closeout readiness
Know what is missing before your client does.
Closeout problems usually start long before the final turnover package. Azure Tide reviews the evidence behind the package: deliverable status, revisions, transmittals, file completeness, metadata, superseded records, and unresolved exceptions.
Project Closeout Readiness Reviews start at $995. Larger or more complex projects are scoped according to document volume, systems, and turnover requirements.
Systems & workflow
The system should support the control model.
Document Control problems are often process and system problems wearing a file-management disguise. Azure Tide can help structure the environment behind the documents instead of adding more manual work around it.
Technical file assurance. Azure Tide also uses purpose-built tools to inspect and process engineering deliverables at scale, helping surface file-level problems that ordinary document checks can miss.
High-accuracy bulk PDF conversion
Bulk conversion of supported engineering and office file formats to PDF using controlled tooling designed to preserve source fidelity and reduce manual conversion effort.
Proprietary DWG Drawing Analysis
Automated inspection of DWG drawing packages for missing external references, dependencies, unresolved linked resources, and related file conditions, with structured reports for follow-up and closeout review.
