Richard, If you live in a totally lead-free environment with no exposure to any known or listed hazardous materials,75 degrees F year-round temperature, unlimited supplies of free Mountain Dew, have a stable product or design that never changes, have verifiable and secure data sources, control and back annotate all exports and imports of data sources, maintain configuration control of all tool sets or platforms, never change suppliers or customers; then there are two reasons I would go for it.First, given the criteria I have stated, most PDM software packages would work.Secondly, if you believe you have all of the above, you are probably delusional and wouldn't know or care if it worked are not. If you have no problems with your present system and clearly understand what you are gaining(speed,scannability,etc.)then it will work.Do not expect it to fix existing problems,without some level of customizing.
