This article will focus on Software Inventory Control Systems (SICS).
Recently, I was asked by Bill Rogers (NH DoIT Commissioner) and Peter
Hastings (NH DoIT Director) to take a look at SICS, investigate them and
provide a recommendation. When I started this research I knew nothing about
SICS. I didn't understand their value. I ate, slept, and breathed these tools
for a period of time so that I could understand their value. I got a good
education from some smart folks: individuals in DoIT who were familiar with
these products, research from the Internet, testimonials from other users on
products, many demos and I inquired into what other states were using.

This article will focus on the PowerBuilder Build Process using E. Crane
Computing product PowerGen with CA Software Change Manager (SCM) R12.0.2. I

field. I want users to be able to use this article as a checklist of
activities to be aware of when performing the PowerBuilder build process with
the latest version of Harvest SCM R12 and PowerGen.

This article will focus on the upgrade process from AllFusion Harvest Change
Manager R7.1 to CA Software Change Manager (SCM) R12.0.2. I am writing this
