Does anything work to accomplish what is in the title of the thread? And does it work without becoming an administrative/IT geek nightmare? My various projects and iterations are becoming hard to manage in my unsupported older copy of Inventor, so I am looking to see if Alibre can cover that base with or without an add-on.
Basic check-in, check-out, part and assembly search by properties (not just file name) etc.

Is that 'as well as' new features, bug fixes, performance improvements, etc or 'instead of'? I guess that will be a v28 or later introduction? Is that also going to be a paid 'add-on' style option or fully integrated into a specific Alibre level/version? Will it also be available as part of the API, so that integration with other version, issue tracking and change processes can be created or is it just a way to search and associate parts/assemblies/external docs (i.e. pdfs) into 'projects' ... with revision tracking?

1. As well as
2. Something like v28, not sure how it will shake out
3. Almost certainly included in Expert by default, very unlikely to be a paid addon.
4. We haven't gotten as far as an API yet. I'll have to ask around. However, if you have specific requests based on things you might know you want to do, let us know.
5. It's a full, multi-tenant, local or remote PDM system suitable for teams.
FYI. I have M-Files from my original Alibre Expert purchase. I continue to use it and have maintained annual support with M-Files to keep the package current. When my M-Files maintenance subscription came up for renewal last fall I learned that M-Files has a new policy. They require a minimum of three seats. This obviously does not work for a single user. I'm looking forward to the Alibre PDM product. It is desperately needed. Thanks.
