I liked the fact that the skeleton design is very flexible and allows for concurrent development. We're currently talking to Serena ChangeMan about how to get to parallel development and whether or not they support it in a Git-style with branching. 

We audit once a year for our ChangeMan access, accurate financial programs, and all of that. Auditors really love ChangeMan for how easy it is to get through and how tight the security is on it. Our internal auditors, external auditors, and SOX editors love this solution. We're in the healthcare business, so HIPAA regulations and all such things are a big deal, and this makes all that really simple.

The main purpose of ChangeMan for my position is to compile code and control versions of the code. I don’t need to submit separate JCL jobs as ChangeMan does this for me. I just need to add the necessary parameters once and it’s done.

What’s most valuable to me is the ability to compile the code and move it through the test and productions environments. This is the main reason we use ChangeMan. Otherwise, it would be a lot of manual work.
