BL/SOURCE

Program Control and Management System

Complete Source Control and Change Management

BL/SOURCE is an easy-to-use source control and change management software solution that handles all the implementation of changes from the initiation phase through authorization and release phases. It even performs the compilations and moves the new code files, WFLs, and other production files into the production environment.

And every change is carefully annotated through all phases, not only revealing who made changes, but also who reviewed the changes and who released the changes into production. This allows complete source control so software to be easily traced and recreated through its entire life. Plus, with it security feature, access to files can be strictly controlled.
