Does a software solution exist that would be multi-user, and able to dynamically update a document?

Question

I need to find a way to have microsoft word docs (or powerpoint decks) automatically updated using a database system (similar to a versioning system but actually that DOES the updating). Price isn't an issue, and I am looking for an all encompassing solution that would require as LITTLE manual intervention as possible. The database is SQL by the way. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Yes.

Check out the new Microsoft Groove 2007, part of the new Microsoft Office.

I think you'll find that it meets the needs of what you want to do. The best part is, you can try it yourself free for 60 days, to make sure it meets your needs, before you buy it.

Answer 2

Google Docs is pretty good like that. Multiple users can be working on the same document and have it be updated in ALMOST real-time.
