TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I guess I don't see the complications. Have someone in IT set up a server for you. Install the server version of your CM tool. Store all the files in the CM tool's watched directories. Then send an email out to everyone saying "If you want to get to the Pelican Brief, then you have to access it via the CM tool.
Really not a big deal, I think. Maybe 2 days worth of work. I guess the hard part is getting management to buy into the idea and sell it to their teams; teaching people how to use it (or writing a tutorial); getting purchasing to OK the license expenditure; getting IT to install the box and add it to the network, protect it with the firewall, and add its contents to their backup schedules; and then teach an FTE how the system works 'cause you're leaving.
Hmmm. Maybe 8 weeks IS more like it. Better get cracking. :)

Come on. It's an intern with an eight-week window.
You seriously expect the intern to get such changes done in that time?
Considering the scope and resources, I'd say the plan using Excel is
fine.
