Document Control with Software Configuration Management Program?
Subject:Document Control with Software Configuration Management Program? From:"Wilson, Charis" <Charis_Wilson -at- ICGCOMM -dot- COM> To:techwr-l Date:Mon, 10 Apr 2000 15:10:45
I've been asked to look into using the feasibility of using Rational's
ClearCase, a software configuration management tool, as a document control
system. Has anyone heard of this being done?
From what I've seen so far I'm not sure this is a good idea. While the
system seems to work well for software version control I'm not sure this is
the best solution for a good document control system. However, I'd like to
get some more feedback before I meet with the member of our IT staff who
suggested this.
