Certainly if you're in a software shop, and possibly in any field,
your first question should be to ask what your developers use for
revision control on product design.
If they do have a system in place, that immediately becomes the
leading candidate for use in the docs dep't, and you'd need a
really good reason to use anything else.
If they don't, why on Earth not and can you solve their problem
along with yours?
