John

In my shop it would be difficult to cost-justify any expense for that type of tool. Again, I'm just one guy - and in a JD Edwards shop to boot, so my custom code is minimal. When I make a modification to a JDE program, I use the JDE source management tools.

Plus, I have access to a freeware CMS tool that some colleagues of mine have developed and improved through the years, should I really want to implement it.

Thanks

Since Bob brought up the idea...

I want to start by saying that I do not have such a tool so I am not trying to sell anyone anything. I am just looking for information from anyone that feels like throwing in their two cents.

A few years back I was working on developing a source control / migration tool to market to smaller shops and everyone told me it wasn't worth it so I quit. They said the big shops want something big and well known like Aldon or Turnover and there aren't enough small shops left to make it worth my time.

If you were to buy a "poor man's version" of such a tool (not a lot of bells and whistles), what would you be willing to pay for it? I am just trying to figure out if I can cost justify my time to finish it.
