The first thing your boss needs to understand is that all of these features (and more) are available out of the box from a number of EDM vendors. Vaporware (aka internally developed) generally costs more and has a longer time to availability.
Why is he intending to develop something? Are the developers bored? Does he think it will be cheaper?

Subject: Internal Solutions to Document Management
Good Morning All-
I am on the eve of a recently scheduled meeting with my boss and an IT
representative who is responsible for building a customized application to
manage documents in a compliance department. This application (currently
vaporware) is being requested to solve some document management pain
points.
(These are verbatim from my boss's mouth)
1. Revision Control
2. Workflow
3. Security Control
4. Filing System
Are there any personal experiences or "watch out for" scenarios that can be
shared with me on or offline so that I can have some professional foresight
into what I may experience in this meeting.
In my experience, vaporware, has not had a great track record of meeting
short term, but also long-term needs for document management.
Naturally, no names or company names will be shared at all.
Thank you,
Barrett L. Walker
