I guess I might as well contribute to the confusion.
I am CALLED, Tech Com, but departmentally I am in General and Administrative
(because I am viewed as a service for all of R&D).
Our Documentation Dept. is under Engineering and handles the BOM, ECNs,
release of all documentation, drawings, product trees, etc. Their connection
with me? Loose at the best...
So what do you call me?
Confused <grin>

"Documentation"... it's short and sweet. We do many things, but keep
the name simple because otherwise we'd be changing it way too much to
fit current roles. ;-)
