Anyone Using Epicor for Document Control?

We are looking into the feasibility of using Epicor attachments to store our Production drawings. Currently we maintain a specific folder on a shared drive. For the most part, we do a good job of keeping it up to date and maintaining only the current revision in this directory. I’m being asked to look into the feasibility of switching this process to one that involves putting an attachment on the PartRev. We have started doing this “optionally” where the engineer was trying to be conscientious and putting it in both places. But that’s not good practice. And the idea is that Epicor can have a more formal release/control than just sticking it in a folder… and then preparing for a future of potentially using workflows in Epicor.

What say you, fine folks?

ECM - for sure. Versioning, workflow, approvals, attachments in Kinetic.
Combine with APR and some BPMs and you can do a whole lot of things.

And if you’re only using it for this, you can buy just one license (or the minimum Epicor requires) because all access from Kinetic is done under a single license.
