Software change control in small shops

Dear Tom,

Permit me to respond with information about our software change
control product "Tight as a Drum."  The product delivers Murphy's 
Law immunity for software change management.

 +> A few more details:

Tight as a Drum is affordable for small shops, in part because the
implementation and training process is typically less complicated 
and therefore more affordable than some competitive products.

Warm regards,

The dearth of discussion on this topic leads me to think that I am in the
same place as the bulk of my colleagues. That surprises me; I suspected
that we were a bit behind the times here.

So any vendors care to contribute?
