Formerly know as CCC/LCM from PLATINUM technology and SofTool?
ASG-Life Cycle Manager (LCM) is an easy-to-use, menu-driven software product that controls changes to software or documents and ensures only authorized changes are incorporated into sanctioned baselines, releases, or production environments. LCM brings order to the development process by helping to control the migration of changes throughout the software or document life cycle. LCM provides functionality for the entire development span through OS/390® or MVS.
