I agree totally - the benefits of a good change management tool are mainly
the ability to roll back and also the fact that the tool can make certain
that all objects relevant to one change are implemented together. For that
reason it will be a good and in fact necessary component for any site where
development is done.

My point is that if you only implement a tool for the purpose of keeping the
auditors happy you will have to think a bit more om what your processes are
like.

Finally a small tip: A company I worked for had a purchased system with
service agreement and also upgrades two to three times a year. At the same
time we had major changes to some of the components plus local fixes. For
this reason we kept separate libraries for anything that came from the
vendor (base version plus libraries for all releases) and local changes
(several levels). This way it was easy to pinpoint if a problem was due to
local changes or the vendors releases. And also extremely easy to rollback
even w/o a change management system (which a definitely wish that we had
installed on that highly volatile site).

subject: Re: Re "cheap" change management solution

All true but IMO the real value of a good change management tool is in its
ability to roll back a >>change quickly and with little operator
intervention.

Even a programming team of one person will appreciate the ability to
implement, and roll back, a >>change to one object or dozens through a
management console.

But if the goal is simply to track what's changed, yes, the Audit journal
is at the heart of the solution.
