RE: Change Management Software, Possibly Off Topic

Myself and another person are responsible for the setup, administration,
and maintenance of the change management systems here.  We use
SDM-Implementer by MKS and have it running on six systems.  I have been
involved with it from the beginning, setting up the environments,
configuring the systems and communications, setting up users, object codes,
etc.  I think it is a great product.  Very flexible, which many say makes
it cumbersome to configure and maintain.  I believe it make the product
that much more robust and gives you many options to choose from.  It
handles ILE and  file management  very well.
My only negative response is their slowness to adopt SQL for file
implementations.  We've successfully created our own "Special Commands" to
handle the implementation of files to be created/deleted/changed using SQL
scripts.  Our other option was to have MKS develop this capability for us,
at a fairly significant cost to us.
