There's some other avenues that EDA tools also aren't taking that could be great market opportunities for some of the small to mid-range players to capitalize on. Besides just modern version control systems, most big companies have internal teams to manage schematic symbols and layout footprints for all parts they use. There's outrageous duplication of effort going on. If there was a "cloud" provider who could do this for you, it'd cost each company less and the service could be better. There'd have to be customization and an API so each company could customize their access and data stored, but that's easier than actually selling this idea :)
