I tried looking in the archives for information on Document Management
Systems and surprisingly, came up with "No match."
I have some questions that maybe some of you can help me with:
Q: Do any of you out there use a Document Management System of
some sort?
Q: What do you use--an off-the-shelf or custom product?
Q: How have you benefitted from it?
Q: Was it implemented company-wide?
Q: Do you use if for both internal doc and external, product doc? How?
Q: Do you know how much you spent on it?
Any information you can provide on this topic would be very appreciated!
Thanks,
