ISO 9001-Compliant Document Control?

SmoothBreaker writes "Coming into a new company, I have been tasked with sourcing Document Control software to meet ISO 9001 standards. From everything I can find, ISO places no requirements on the software itself, aside from maintaining control of documentation and process. This was discussed eleven years ago. I'd like software that allows intuitive use for our less savvy users, and in a perfect world, graphical access to previous revisions of a document. I've used Microsoft's SharePoint, which the higher-ups like simply because it's Microsoft, but thankfully they trust their Tech Department to find the cream of the crop. What experience do you have with this kind of software, what would you recommend using, and what should I avoid?"

How big is the company?
The reason I ask is because I work in a very large company and our IT dept have very strict rules on some things.
6months were wasted in meetings between management, coders, sales, IT to finally decide on PVCS even tho I had been using git for the previous 6months for my little bit of code between hardware design.
Why did they go for this expensive solution? so that they could should at someone, demand support and sue someone if the shit hits the fan. With OpenSource the only one liable for fuckups
