Re: Document Management?

Beth,

In conjunction with all the other recommendations, look at Starbase 
(http://www.starbase.com/).

You boss has just hit the PHB stage. If one solution was too 
expensive, most of the others will be too expensive. You also need to 
float the objections of the requirements team to him. This is HIS 
part of the job. So is the lack of harddrive space. If you do as he 
wants you are going to be needing a terabyte of space just to start 
with. And you need to create a procedure of when to retire documents, 
how to retire and archive them, and where the archive will be kept.

It is either going to require your boss to start getting involved, or 
he will have to give you the authority to make deals with other 
department heads.
