SCM repository systems are based on a simple idea: the definitive copies of your files are kept in a central repository. People check out copies of files from the repository, work on those copies, and then check them back in when they are finished. SCM systems manage and track revisions by multiple people against a single master set.

This is an SCM tool, which was earlier offered by AllFusion. CA has taken over AllFusion and the tool is now called CA Software Change Manager. More information can be obtained by visiting http://www.ca.com/in/products/product.aspx?id=255. I tried searching through the net and there is very little information about this tool. Hope the above link proves helpful. Good Luck! Vinay N. Barigidad
