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?"

Did I meet you yesterday? When you transferred to this company from India? If you need help, just walk over and ask.

You really don't need anything more than compressed files with timestamps.

Anything more than that is overkill, especially if you're trying to get ISO9001.

It's rather zen how shortsighted your advice often is.

The irony of the mere existence of physical tomes containing a standard for electronic document management should be enough to strike you down ;)

I personally have found the practice of heap sorting my belongings to be very effective.
