For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Caveat: I work for an online PLM app (Arena). Ours is aimed at small-to-medium businesses while Agile is for the monster companies.
Ours is a subscription-based model for BOM and Change Management. A lot of our customers do use it for Doc Control, and our file management is quite robust. Users can make a file an "item", thereby applying revision control. And you can choose to enforce Change Control at the In Design or In Production stage of the item lifecycle--setting up Change Control Boards for approval of new revisions.
Agile works in very much the same way, but their online offering was shelved when Oracle bought them. I believe they are bringing it back now.
Sorry for any perceived plugging--feel free to contact me off list if you want any more PLM info.
