Change Management

[<groyle@xxxxxxxx> (Gordon S. Royle)]

We are relatively new to the AS400/BPCS 6.1.01 mixed-mode environment with 
mostly Unix and VMS experience (although we have hired some good long-time 
BPCS developer/analysts). Our development will be in AS/SET for existing BPCS 
stuff and in either AS/SET or RPG/IV for new stuff. We will have two AS/400 
boxes (one for development and one for production) managing the BPCS 
application with clients in somewhere around 16 offices/plants spread out 
throughout North America and developers in at least four different offices. 

We are currently reviewing our Change Control and Management options. The 
four that have been presented to us are:

SoftLanding's Turnover
MKS's Implementer 
IBM's AS/400 Solution
Our own home grown solution (hah hah - but I have to cover it)

The leaders appear to be Turnover and Implementer because they can manage the 
AS/SET environment.

Could y'all (we have some southern offices) help me? I would like to hear 
from you with pros and cons, experiences with any of the above etc. All 
bricks and bouquets greatly appreciated.

TIA

Gord Royle
