I saw a pile of responses for this thread, but didn't read them all carefully. How much exactly will you be paying for a GSA that is licensed to handle 8M docs? I *believe* you'll be paying around $250,000. Now ask yourself if you can hire somebody to develop exactly what you want for less. I'm assuming you don't need the functionality yesterday and can wait for a couple of developers to create exactly what you need (which may not be what GSA provides).
