On-line (or off-line) document management software

[bardsley at u.washington.edu]

Is there anyone here who has experience implementing or working with document management software? I just started to look into this and have found several packages ranging from $1000-$10,000. I am researching for corporate use so I hope it's OK to post the question here to start a discussion. I am assuming someone in this community has experience in this area for libraries, corporations, or otherwise. The essential function of the software would be to provide intuitive version control (making all versions of a document accessible). Has anyone tried to use free software made for version tracking such as CVS for such a task?

Any experiences shared would be greatly appreciated. If I get useful off-line help, I will summarize for the list.

Many thanks,
